Patient Experience Reviews
I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Dr. P. He has changed our lives and spent so much additional time with us. We fly up from out of town because we just can't get this level of care near us. He spent so much time with us and never made us feel rushed. We are so grateful for his attention and how much he actually seems to care. Cant say enough nice things
Everyone is always so kind to us, we drive over an hour just to come here because I have had many good experiences coming to this branch there's no point in changing branches. I think they all deserve raises truly.
*** The receptionist and doctors were nice and helpful.
The staff, clinician, doctor at this location are phenomenal!!! I'm so grateful to have found these providers for my son. ***
Dr. Peiffer is one of the best doctors on my son's medical team. He has always been compassionate and shown empathy towards my son, who has severe autism. He is wonderful physician who understands patient needs and how to make patients comfortable. I literally cannot say enough good things about him. I thank God I ended up in this office because I feel so comfortable in their care as opposed to other places I have had to take my son.
Dr. Peiffer is wonderful! Both my daughters have been going to Dr. Peiffer for years with their eye issues, and always look forward to seeing him. He is knowledgeable and dedicated. He has always gone above and beyond to help. I would recommend Dr. Peiffer to anyone. Thank you for all that you do!
Very patient, explained everything, and provided outside resources for school help.

Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
