February 27, 2026Karisma W.Verified patientVideo visit
I originally was just trying to find a therapist as I have a psychiatrist but I evidently didn't know how to use zocdoc that well. Regardless I kept the appointment because I do need help and I recognize that. I found everything he said helpful and I learned quite a few things about myself just in this one visit. He's very informative and I'm glad the appointment went well.
February 7, 2026Amanda P.Verified patientVideo visit
I have found a true gemstone in the Psychiatry field! Dr P. is a very thorough Dr, is most patient and genuinely cares. He's a great Dr to have caring for my behavioral health needs. I'll definitely be a long-term patient and eye grateful to have found him!

So thankful and genuinely blessed to have found him.
I'll definitely be a long-term patient. He was informative and provided better virtual care than I've had from a few previous providers, in person.

At fist it was fine, it’s been several days of me trying to contact the provider and they said they would return my calls and didn’t really do that, they billed me for my visit but they haven’t even given me my medication prescription

Very happy with Dr. Peace! His visits are quick since I’ve been stable on my medication for 5 years! His practice was able to provide me a discount card to use at the pharmacy! 5 stars!

Very happy so far with my doctor. I went from a state funded program to trying to find a doctor that accepted champVA insurance. My only issue was that they couldn’t take an online pharmacy, like cost plus drugs. I ended up going to Walmart instead.
November 8, 2025Lora J.Verified patientVideo visit
Wasn’t sure how my appointment was going to go. Dr. Peace was able to easily use his expertise to properly diagnose my symptoms. He also helped me understand why I’ve experienced and have felt certain things. I hope that his plan works well. I look forward to my follow up appointment.
