He knew my background when he walked in. I was worried about cancer and he didn't dance around my concern and immediately informed me that my lipoma was just that and not lipocarcinoma. He and his fellow showed me the MRI and explained it. He didn't rush me. He let me process the good news. He offered a different office to come see him that might be closer for us. He was thoughtful about rescheduling check up MRI within this year so as to consider my deductible. He was appropriately humorous and I left there feeling like I had a new lease on life! Best Monday of my life!

Dr. Peabody is a WONDERFUL Doctor. A genuinely nice man too. I can be a "handful" of a patient with all my issues and he takes his time. If you could see my medical history you'd see I've had- and still have- a lot of Doctors. In my experience, I appreciate a Doctor who's not only in the top of his field but a Doctor who you immediately know he cares. It makes a big difference and it greatly appreciated! [name]

Dr. Peabody is an amazing Dr. as well as an amazing human being. Dr.Peabody exemplifies what a physician should be. I can't say enough praise for him, but he would never recognize praise anyways as his humbleness is just another one of his amazing character traits- along with being the most knowledgeable and compassionate physicians I've ever encountered.
