Dr. Lorance Peter

I've been seeing Dr. Lorance Peter for my diabetes and blood pressure for almost eight years now, first at his old clinic and now at Sakra. That says it all, really. He remembers my history without me having to repeat it every visit, and he doesn't just rush to change my meds at the first sign of a blip. He looks at the whole picture. I trust his judgment because he's shown me, over time, that he cares about managing my health, not just treating a number on a chart.

My 82-year-old mother was admitted to Sakra with pneumonia, and Dr. Peter was in charge. What stood out was how he talked to us. He didn't use confusing medical jargon. He explained her condition clearly, what the plan was, and what to watch for. He even took a minute to ask if *we* were doing okay, managing the stress. When you're scared for a parent, that kind of clear, kind communication from the doctor makes a world of difference. We felt included, not just informed.

Had a bad stomach thing that wouldn't quit. Went to see Dr. Peter at Sakra. He was straight up listened, asked the right questions, ordered a simple test. Got a clear diagnosis and meds that actually worked. No fuss, no drama. Just fixed it.

I was really nervous about this persistent cough I'd had for weeks. The parking at Sakra was a nightmare that day, which didn't help my mood. Dr. Peter had a calm way about him that settled me down. He didn't just glance at my file; he asked about my work (I'm a teacher, so talking all day), my sleep, everything. He explained how all of it could be connected and laid out a couple of options, really taking the time to make sure I understood. The follow-up call from his assistant a few days later to check on me was a nice touch I wasn't expecting. It felt like he was seeing me, not just the cough.
