    Dr Peckins is excellent. He follows an effective routine of asking the patient to speak, reviewing the chart and addressing history and finally repeating what needs to happen, if anything, going forward.

    Dr. Peckins has been my PC doc for years. He is thoughtful, respectful, knowledgeable, and caring..only problem is that it is impossible to cover six months in 30 min. He does his best but the rushing leaves always something behind. The system's fault, not his. I am so glad he is my doctor.

    Hello, as always, Dr. Pekkens is very easy to see and I always feel that my well-being is a primary concern of his. He has a good manner and he's very much in my corner. Whenever something, I have a positive test or he's always quick to call with that news. And his enthusiasm when he has good news is never pro former. I always think it's sincere and I always feel well cared for when I leave his office.

    My provider is great. What I am concerned about is all the press in the newspaper about primary care doctors and the changing structure of MGB. I want you to give more support your Primary Doctors and make it a place with salary support. I have total trust in my primary. I am not sure I have trust in MGB upper management.
