At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

Dr. Peter didn't just examine me, he restored my trust in medicine; promote him and let the whole hospital rise with him. He is everything you hope for in a doctor and more; brilliant, professional, and deeply compassionate. He made me feel seen, heard, and cared for every step of the way, and it's clear he elevates not only his patients but the entire hospital.

Dr. Peter was extremely attentive and competent as well as compassionate. He was totally professional and a I would have him again for a surgeon. After being in 3 different Rochester area hospitals over the past 3 months, I would choose Thompson by far ! The nursing staff on 3 West was superior and extremely supportive as well as compassionate . My stay though not pleasant was made tolerable because of the dedicated personnel!! Thank you for your choice of dedicated staff

Dr. Peter was recommended to me by a relative. Both my husband and myself found him to be professional, friendly, courteous, well-spoken (but also explained using words and phrases the average person could understand). I left both appointments feeling confident about him.

My visit to Dr. A. Peter was for a second opinion. I am an RN for 45 years. Dr. Peter was very patient, listened to my concern in reference to my wanting a second opinion. Reviewed my records and pathology report as well as my previous doctors notes. Was very receptive to my concerns. Dr. Peter validated my concerns. I will be returning for followup care and highly recommend this physician to anyone. His patience, understanding, kindness and knowledge cannot be overstated.

I needed a incisional hernia operation. I suffer from severe anxiety or phobia in a hospital medical facility. [...] If it had not been for this provider, the office staff, the hospital staff, the anesthesiologist and all around great service. Even from the X-ray people and the EKG nurse I can't give enough. Kudos thank you

Dr Peter should give a class on bedside manner......he was kind, caring and very professional. I was in and out, all my questions were answered and he made sure I was comfortable before proceeding with the procedure. Honestly, I wish we could clone Dr. Peter, he is that good.
