Patient Reviews
Jan 12, 2023
Dr Pecker repaired my arm after a nasty break and dislocation. He and his staff went out of their way to arrange therapy. He had also repaired my torn meniscus and did carpal tunnel surgery. He has also treated my wife’s bad knee. A switch in insurance took him out of our network, but a recent change has him back in our network. My wife is thrilled that she can continue treatment with Dr. Pecker. All of the nurses I dealt with while having surgeries with Dr. Pecker spoke very highly of him and I agree totally.

About Me

Care Philosophy

  • My primary concern is accurate diagnosis, so that all of the appropriate options for treament can be explored. Some diagnosis lead to surgical options, many of which I now do microscopically, especially in the shoulder and knee. Some lead to nonsurgical treatments or treatments in other specialties. My goal is to provide the best possible care regardless of the chosen method of treatment. I specialize in arthroscopy of the shoulder and knee for tendon and ligament repair.
