She's the best. Always takes time with me and never feel rushed. If she's a bit late it's because she is doing the same with others which I appreciate.

Dr. Peairs has always been what I would consider the "perfect" physician in that she doesn't keep me waiting, she listens to me patiently and respects my opinion, she is extremely knowledgeable, and she acts as though she has no other patients waiting--she never hurries along my appointment, and she follows up right away with her advice after we get the lab results from my annual blood tests.

Dr Peairs went above and beyond to make sure she had a full history of a complicated problem that had required visits with other providers and reviewed their notes, my tests and all of our my chart messages. She was thoughtful, kind, well prepared and spent more than 60 minutes for a 20 minute visit because I had an urgent issue. She is beyond outstanding, I can't say enough great things about her care. I am very lucky to have her as a provider
