Dr. Peck has been helping me with pain management for over 12 years! I could not be happier with his amazing ability to fix me! I received a series of epidurals over the years....and his expertise and knowledge have allowed me to live basically pain free for years after the epidurals! I highly recommend him if you have chronic back/hip pain like I did. He is very caring and kind! Thanks to him ~ I am back to my busy lifestyle with no limitations due to back and hip pain! He's the best! Linda W. read more

I have been a patient of Doctor Joseph Peck for more than twenty years. He is truly one of the very best doctors that I've ever dealt with. He is very strong and definitely does not waste time but he is incredibly knowledgeable, kind compassionate and caring. Unfortunately I have struggled with chronic headaches for many years and Doctor Peck has gone out of his way to research and try many different methods of dealing with the pain. He's definitely not someone who just pushes medication but he also seems to genuinely care about you and your quality of life. His staff is great as well. I literally just received a phone call from Jasmine who wanted to make sure that my needs had been taken care of. You can't go wrong if you need pain management or sports rehabilitation. They are amazing and if there were more than 5 stars I would give them all the stars Charles Woods read more

Doctor staff everyone unprofessional here apparently they said they left me a voicemail to reschedule at 7 AM. I would not have drove 40 minutes over here and sit here for two hours until they told me my time was rescheduled. Everyone here is so rude, including the doctor. read more

See all

This specialist is located next to the manhattan village shopping center in a cute hidden medical plaza. This little plaza has its own separate parking from the shopping area, and his office is located on the second floor not too far from the elevator. I went to see him because I suffer from chronic pain due to a fall I sustained. When I told him my symptoms he took it very seriously. He did a thorough exam, and because of where my pain was located he ordered an MRI. No other doctor would do this. They just told me I needed to have my tailbone removed, and to me to take Tylenol and that I was ok for work. I was not ok for work. Because of him, I was able to have a real diagnosis and the appropriate treatment. After doing an injection and it not working, he advised I needed more, and he was right. I was referred to an arthroscopic hip surgeon. I had the surgery I needed just three weeks ago, and I am working towards recovery now. I am very thankful to him, his understanding staff, and his PA Allegra (I think that was her name, I am bad at names) for helping me with my struggles with poor doctors and bad insurance. They pushed for me, and here I am writing this review today. I look forward to hiking, concerts, and working again (when I recover) because they went the extra mile. I think if you sustain a work injury or any injury for that matter come to Dr. Peck. He will examine you and offer advice before doing any unnecessary treatments, and he will do everything he can to minimize your pain just like he did for me. read more

Great people treat you what respect and compassion do there best to help you when you are in excruciating pain a very wonderful Doctors office to visit they are true life savers read more

Overall, Dr Peck is a good doctor but their time management with appointments sucks. There should be no reason to wait 35 mins to be seen when you are actually early/on time for that appt. -- it's inconsiderate to think folks have all day and no job or other appts to attend to. Dr Peck has good bedside manner and other than these delays, I can't complain. read more

I share this review in hopes of helping others avoid the same experience I had. I moved to Hermosa in '18 and had never visited a pain dr before. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2012 by 2 doctors and had been managing my pain day to day without medication with the help of a rheumatologist. I'm unsure if the move caused the change but for close to a month I was mostly in bed with what felt like a flareup combined with extreme pain in my joints. I decided to see a pain doctor and selected Dr. Peck based on Yelp reviews because I still didn't have a GP in CA. I waited over 45 minutes past my appt time to come in for my first appointment. Others in the waiting room shared this was common practice. His intake nurse seemed to not understand what fibro widespread pain is, and insisted I point to each part of my body that hurt. My husband intervened after I explained 3x about widespread pain and pointed to each joint and muscle. When Dr. Peck came in he challenged the fibromyalgia diagnosis immediately. He displayed a horrible bedside manner and in hindsight, I can see I tolerated his behavior only because I was desperate for a doctor to help me get some relief. We had provided all the medical information requested by his office and I had seen multiple neurologists and rheumatologist in 2012, so for him to challenge their diagnoses (along with their tests including biopsies and MRIs) now seems ridiculous. I really believe that he couldn't see past my fat body to think anything was really wrong. He said he wouldn't treat me for fibro unless I saw HIS preferred rheumatologist to confirm the diagnosis. He also ordered xrays of my knees, back, and hips. He walked out and we didn't even know the appointment was over until the nurse came to take us to check out. After we checked out I couldn't hold back the tears because I felt so dismissed, and when we walked out we asked to see him again. He came out after a while and I asked him if he was willing to help me or if I should find another doctor. I explained I wasn't looking for drugs but wanted to feel some sense of normalcy and get some part of my life back and I couldn't do it with this level of pain, so I needed to work with a doctor willing to help me and see past whatever biases they had. He seemed uncomfortable- guessing bc I had tears rolling down my face- an said that IF it was fibro there were lots of things we could do to manage the pain and that I should follow up on his requests. He gave me some sense of hope but I think it was only because he didn't want me to cause a scene or something. I couldn't get an appt with his preferred dr for months but instead got an appt with someone in her offer weeks after- and Dr. Peck's office said this would suffice. The rheumatologist ordered some blood tests which ruled out other rheumatological illnesses (all had been done before btw by my previous dr) and then said I could have fibro or not, there was no way to know. He seemed like a lovely person but didn't even perform the pressure point test which is a basic standard diagnosing tool for the disease. My husband and I couldn't believe Peck would insist on this assessment as if this dr was some sort of expert. All it did was prolong the time I was suffering in pain with no real medical care. When I went back for my second apt with Peck, I learned I was actually meeting his Medical Assitant (not sure of her title), Allegra. I asked Olga (front desk) why my appointment had been changed without letting me know and she said it was the way his office was run, but that Allegra was great because HER DAD was a doctor. I don't need to explain why this is not a reassuring thing to say to a patient. I saw Allegra- she was polite, knowledgeable and aloof. She said the xrays confirmed issues with my knee and hip, and that they needed an MRI of my back based on the xray. When I asked for help with the pain I was instructed to purchase some hemp/cbd capsules they sold at the front. At this point, I'm months in and this is the solution I'm given! The appointment was rushed and after waiting for this I felt I got no answer and no relief or empathy to help ease the pain. I then waited for them to get clearance to schedule the MRI for my back. Several weeks passed. I called several times and I was told each time they were waiting for my insurance to approve the MRI. While this was going on I made an appointment with the Mayo clinic (out of state), waited months, went there for 3 weeks, and got my fibro diagnosis confirmed amongst other tests. Months later after several follow-ups, I was finally able to do my back MRI. According to his office, it took MONTHS for my insurance to clear the MRI approval but I know this is not accurate unless they dropped the ball. MRI was 7 months ago and still no call with results. I got them from the hospital and moved on. My tip is to avoid this office at all cost. read more

I was under his care for three years, and he never could remember certain blood clotting issues, that kept me from being able to receive certain procedures that he continues to push on patients. He also couldn't remember what dose of medicine I was taking, or why. I lost my temper with him when after being unable to stand and calling him for four days requesting to get me an MRI set up, .Duriing these days, I was repeatedly being told by his staff that. he was given messages to help me, so we could find out what was going on, until I was able to catch him on his after hours number and he said he never got any message from them. I told him that he couldn't even run a Jack n the Box properly and he told me to find another doctor to help me.and couldn't help me find a surgeon for two more than two years. The man is a complete liar. I called him recently to try and apologize, and was given an appointment with his physician's assistant Dr John on Tuesday 4/12/22 at 9AM. I was half way there in horrible pain, when I received a call saying that Dr.John D, had an emergency situation and that I would have to wait until Thursday 4/14/22,& see Peck instead at 9AM. When I got there, he straight lied again as he usually does, and told me that he wouldn't see me and that I shouldn't have been scheduled even, and tried telling me that he was using a new answering service, that he just got rid of and that was why I was given an appointment with him. This was another lie, because both time's this week, I spoke with staff of his that I knew personally from the few prior years with him, and both of them knew exactly who I was and I even apologized for losing my temper due to pain and both of them accepted my sincere apologies. Both his office manager, and the nice girl that handles you when you leave and sets up your next visit, is who I spoke with, and Peck the little pompus liar that he is , wasn't even MAN ENOUGH TO TELL THE TRUTH TO ME, once again. Beware of this conserved, liar who is such a little bitch, that he will repeatedly lie to your face,like it's second nature too him. It's sad when a grown man is too scared to be honest with people, especially when I was trying to be humble and apologize for the fact that he repeatedly lied to me in 2019 and said he never got a message from any of his staff, while I was stuck in bed due to another herniated disc pressing on my nerves. I'm now have a quadruple fusion surgery in order to get my ability to walk again and he can only lie repeatedly like a cheating bitch or a child that wasn't raised well enough to know not to lie. It's sad when so called professional s like himself, can't even have enough integrity to speak the truth. His staff and manager even apologized for his actions this time and Olga, the office manager hugged me and told me sorry for his lies and wasting my time while I was in so much pain. I wouldn't even piss on this man if I saw him on fire, because the world would be a better place without people like him. read more

I give Dr. Peck's office and staff (especially Shannon) 5 stars. My boyfriend and my father are not the easiest patients to have. One is work comp for his back and the other is in pain management for his knees and shoulders. Dr. Peck's office always follows through on my requests. I find it easy to get an appointment for both my dad and my boyfriend, even with all the covid going on they are still able to get in and and see the doctor fairly quick. Dr. Peck has awesome bed side manner and has helped my dad get back his quality of life. He works on cars and needs to bend a lot and use his arms. With out Dr. Peck my dad would still be in pain and depressed sitting on my couch. I recommend the doctor to everyone I know. read more

Dr. Peck is an experienced pain management physician and surgeon, whom I have often seen at a prior location. I visited his office for a simple injection that turned into a serious waste of my time for strange reasons. First, the requested patient forms with map guide that the office neglected to mail.Therefore, late arriving to the new location (No GPS!). Next, on the phone, staff couldn't direct me to the (very distinctive and dedicated) building for quick recognition. Then, the time-consuming 12 page forms with detailed history, reviewed by 2 different intake specialists, who preferred to ask me for the same information. . A full hour later, Dr. Peck did a quick examination, but declined to give me the simple injection I needed for a tendinitis problem. (Yes, a recurring problem if it gets aggravated, treated simply by others without issue.) His reason: lack of staff and Ultrasound equipment. I noted 7 staff present. No electronic equipment in an updated office in a new building? Hard to believe. Or maybe Dr. Peck wasn't comfortable giving me a simple injection close to the sciatica nerve that others have done without hesitation. Very simple for an experienced pain management physician. Suggest that you visit this office for more serious pain management requiring a surgical facility. That way, Dr. Peck will have the staff and the Ultrasound equipment to treat you properly. More expensive, for sure. read more

The doctors here work very hard to help reduce their patients pain levels, and offer many in office treatments. The office staff and nurse practitioners are always super friendly & helpful. read more

Five stars all around for MD Joseph Peck and his staff I would recommend to anybody who has back pain. Shout out to Shannon who was very friendly and made sure she went above and beyond to make sure my visit went very well thank you I will be back read more

Wish we could post negative reviews. Office staff wonderful. Dr. Peck- abrupt- doesn't know how to read MRI or understand referred pain. Insulting about pain med regimen from Rheumatologist. No feeling for patient's pain, or history of treatment success. I am astonished that any patient would go back to this doctor. Certainly I will not. Perhaps I got him on a bad day? I think not, I am a good judge of people and this Doctor did not seem in any way, for my visit, to have what it takes to do good doctoring... I wish you better luck if you try. read more

Made online reservation and received a confirmation to arrive to office and be told that they cannot see me. Apparently their office is disconnected from online appointment booking system. The front desk girl was careless and not even apologetic whatsoever. I wouldn't even think about booking with them ever again. read more

If I had one word to describe Dr. Peck it would be Awesome ! Best pain specialist I have ever had. I have had 2 failed back surgeries and suffer continually in pain level 10. He genuinely cares about his patients and has been the only pain specialist to actually take the time to listen to my concerns no matter how absurd they may sound and do his best to treat me. Thanks Dr. Peck your a miracle worker. read more

Dr. Peck has been my calm in the storm of battling my way from the pain of severe Fibromyalgia across the river of research & treatment out to the other side where my symptoms are now under control. He very patient, listens to what I have to say & has worked with me to enable me to now engage in yoga 5 days a week along with ballroom dancing 3 times a week. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be able to return to these activities. I have worked with other pain management doctors but Dr. Peck has surpassed them all. read more

Dr. Peck save my life!! Let me start off by saying that not all doctors care and are attentive to their patients concerns or ailments such as Dr. Peck. They're a few out there and hard to find. Dr. Peck is one of a kind. I came to Dr. Peck after having had L4-L5 Lumbar surgery which prior to I had no quality of life and was in constant debilitating pain. I was being treated under a spine specialist who also performed the surgery and after the operation I was still having a substantial amount of pain. Dr. Peck always listens to me and my concerns, he asks questions, he cares about his patients and is always very engaged with every appointment we have. About a month ago my pain was horrendous! Dr. Peck ordered and referred me to have another MRI done and because he did that we were able to find out that my disk re-herniated. Out of all the other doctor's care that am under, he's the only one that sent the referral and took a step further to investigate my situation and find a solution. He goes the extra mile most doctors won't!! I'm still being treated under Dr. Peck and I'm truly thankful to him and Shannon (the office manager) who've made my life a lot easier and bearable given the pain and situation that I find myself in. Honestly, I don't know where I would be without Dr. Peck and Shannon. I know that whether it be an epidural or having another surgery which was recommended, that I'm going to be in the best of hands in this office!! You need not to look no further. Shannon is the cherry on top! She's the best as well! read more

I love love love Dr. Peck and his office staff. They are great. Olga and Pracilla are very nice and friendly and when I need something they are always there to help. Dr. Peck is a great Dr. He listens and I don't fill rushed by him at all. This is a nice and clean office and would recommend it to anyone. :) read more

Dr peck has been treating my husband for over 2 years. He is compassionate and considerate of my husbands needs. He takes his time to make sure we understand everything. My husband also sees the PA, Allegra and she is great too! The office staff is excellent as well! His wife also adds beautiful artwork to the place. I would recommend him as a pain management doctor to everyone. read more

I have been a patient of Dr.Pecks for over 10 years.His knowledge and approach to heal or relieve pain is second to none.Along with Dr.DeMott I am always given multiple ways to address whatever issue I had.Along with the staff,Shay,Olga,Javier and of course Andreina I am informed,relaxed and well prepared before seeing either Dr.Peck or Dr.Demott.After every visit I am at ease and informed of the next steps,procedures or appts. that will be coming up.Highly recommend this facility. read more

Dr. Peck has helped my Dad so much. Not only did he help him get off the pain meds that were affecting his memory, he also made my Dad feel heard in a way that other Doctors have not. He is a great listener and treats the whole patient, not just their pain. I am so grateful. read more

Highly recommend this place if you are looking for exceptional medical care and need pain relief. I have had an injury for over three years I have been dealing with. After numerous doctors visits, physical therapy and even acupuncture - Dr Peck is the only one who has been able to help reduce my pain. This is the second time I have come here for treatment. Olga is an excellent nurse and does a great job at putting me at ease before my spinal block. Dr Peck is extremely thorough and listens well. During my procedure Dr Peck explains step by step everything he is doing. His nurse, Olga also brings a sense of calm to the OR and I leave the clinic knowing I will be feeling better! read more

Dr. Peck and his office staff are great. I highly recommend this office if you need pain management. They made my visit painless!

Dr. Peck and staff are wonderful I have been seeing them for over 5 years now, it's such a great feeling knowing that when you go for your visit that it will be stress free . Dr.Peck is easy to talk to no detail is to small. I am very lucky to have them looking after my care. I would send my mother to them to be cared for. read more

If I could give a negative star I would! The office staff is not friendly at all!!!! They over book and could care less about patients time and needs! Waiting an hour before even getting in a room is a joke. I had printed my papers online ahead of time as they requested, so there's no need for that! And then you wait again inside a room. This doctor has zero beside manners, he spent maybe 5 minutes my first visit in and didn't even bother to introduce himself! Didn't listen to or answer my concerns, talked over me and quickly just said he would prescribe a cream and to go get a new brace and come back later - despite me being in tears due to pain and requesting new x-rays of my injury that clearly was getting worse. The he walked out mid sentence, & the staff said ohhh he's just so busy! I never got the prescription that was supposed to be handled through his office, despite calling several times over the several weeks following to today's follow up, that I should've never come to! So today here we go again, 45 min wait so far and I hear the nurse telling three people they're ahead of me.. I asked for a refund of my copay and walked out! This is why people hate doctors! read more

Dr Peck and Olga are the WORST EVER!! They are ALL ABOUT the $$$. Dr. Peck diagnosed me and then Olga and him decided they weren't going to accept my insurance discounts. Hence, they kicked me to the curb to SUFFER another 2 months of unbelievable PAIN while I found another doctor to help me!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME with this greedy uncaring doctor and his incompetent Louis Vuitton caring office manager!! Karma... read more

All I can say is thank goodness for dr.Peck!!!A true caring knowledgable professional doctor that has allowed me to participate in daily life!I read more

I would NOT recommend Dr. Joseph Peck. I selected him based on his specialty, but as a new patient was very disappointed. I will not go back. He and his staff were unprofessional and unresponsive to my basic needs as a patient. Dr. Joseph Peck had no interest in understanding my pain issues. He was more interested in getting me on an appointment schedule - clearly for his profit. His staff had the nerve to ask me to call in my own authorizations because they were too busy. I witnessed them floundering with paperwork and with other patients. I witnessed his staff treating an elderly women poorly in the waiting area by making her wait well past her appointment time while she was in obvious pain and then spoke to her disrespectfully when she spoke up. Dr. Joseph Peck is not worthy of my time or my money. Worst experience in a medical office ever! read more

I have been seeing Dr Peck for years and he has been fantastic! My pain is very manageable and I am thankful to be where I am at. The addition of Allegra to the staff whom I now see has even made the experience even better. She is very good at explaining all facets of my treatment and new and safe alternatives that may be available. She truly cares about her patients. All the staff is very friendly. read more

Dr Peck has been my pain medication doctor for over two years. His office staff is incredibly friendly & always willing to help should a problem ever arise. Dr Peck has an amazing PA, Allegra, who always listens & never makes me feel rushed during my appointment. Both Dr Peck & Allegra have worked with me over the years to help me find the proper medication that really helps with the severe, constant pain I have been left with due to complications from previous incompetent doctors who had no sympathy for the pain their surgical mistakes left me to deal with on my own. I can't recommend Dr Peck, Allegra & their staff enough. read more

I will keep it straight and simple...the office staff is extremely shady! I brought my mom here since she got referred through her primary doctor to see Dr. Peck. The staff was very unprofessional when we checked in the first time, they keep chit chatting with each other and they took their sweet time to acknowledge incoming patients. On the follow up appointment, they didn't have all the MRI results that they were supposed to have ready by the time of the appointment and they had us wait for a while before they could get them. Last but not least to make it worse, they charged us $15 fee to fill out a handicapped DMV extension that my mom needed due to her illness. Is this place serious? No other provider has charged us any fee to fill out this simple form. On top of charging us a fee, the office person took over 30 mins to hand over the form because he didn't have a clue on how to fill it out. Also no one informed us ahead of time about the fee until right before handing the form over. Extremely shady and unethical if you ask me. Will definitely not recommend anyone coming here. read more

The experience I had with this office was just bad and long. I went for my knee pain in early Jan. 2017. The copay was paid on the day of the visit. Three months later, they sent me invoice with full amount saying his office does not have a contract with my insurance company. (They confirmed on my first visit they have a contract with my insurance company and took $8 copay. If I had to pay cash out of my pocket, I would not have gone to this office.) After my negotiation with my insurance company, the insurance company agreed to pay the full amount for the visit. Later date, I called Dr. Peck's office saying my insurance company already paid to the office and I e-mailed the office payment reference number. I spoke with the office manager couple times over the phone mentioning to her that insurance company already paid and please check your end. Two months later, I received "FINAL NOTICE" with full amount on it. I called the insurance company and they reconfirmed that the payment was cashed on June 16, 2017. My insurance company says they will call the office and straighten this out. My frustration is that despite talking with the office manager several times about this payment being paid and sending payment confirmation via e-mail. It looks like she did not check with billing department nor my insurance company. Meanwhile, I kept getting invoices with full amount on them. This is my first time commenting on Yelp about my review on any service. I wrote this as experience dealing with this office was so bad. I am very sorry to say that their invoice accuracy and customer service needs improvement. read more

Dr. Peck has helped me so much with the hip pain I have had for over 2 months. The staff is so professional and Olga the manager went out of her way to make sure I got what I needed and all the paperwork that has to be completed for job and disability. Very caring office. Not feeling well is hard enough and they were there all the way for me. Hope to return to work in a few weeks and glad I had them on my side. This is how a real doctors office should be! read more

I've only been here twice but so far I have found everyone very friendly, knowledgeable, & thorough; very willing to help where they can. They appear to be current with their treatment methods & offer a wide variety of directions to go to help with your pain issues. I will review again after my procedure & have a better idea of their long term care efforts. read more

Dr Peck is fantastic. I've got a chronic back issue and he listens well, treats me like a person and provides options, treatments and suggestions with sympathy and pragmatism. So many docs treat patients like they can't understand their conditions and aren't worth the time to educate. Peck is the opposite of that - straight forward, informative and extremely thorough. Office staff is very helpful and friendly. Great experience! read more

My husband was in for a injection for pain. Dr Peck is a great specialist in his field. Always knows how to help my husband when he's feeling terrible with pain.
