These opportunities, combined with his advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound training, shaped his approach to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care for active individuals of all ages.
Dr. Peyton’s love for sports began at a young age with park and recreation basketball, but it was his experience competing in high school water polo and swim that deepened his interest in anatomy, physiology, and body mechanics. His academic and clinical pursuits have long focused on working with youth and underserved communities, with a commitment to improving health literacy, fitness, and nutrition while addressing barriers to physical activity.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Peyton enjoys spending time with his family at the beach or pool, exploring new restaurants, and discovering local craft breweries.
