I've been a patient at CTNC for nearly 20 years, and Dr. Peckham has been my doctor since 2019. She was the first to correctly diagnose my young-onset Parkinson's after years of misdiagnoses. She's compassionate, thorough, never rushes, and responds quickly through the portal and by phone. I see her every three months and have recommended her to family and friends without hesitation. Her staff is wonderful too. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking a movement disorder specialist.
Elizabeth L. Peckham, DO

What Our Patients Have to Say
Dr Peckham is so kind, knowledgeable and easy going. We are so grateful to have her as my husbands doctor as she answers all our questions, never rushed us and we always leave feeling confident in her recommendations.
I am reviewing based on my experience with Dr. Elizabeth Peckham. She is a great movement disorder specialist. Very caring and understanding. She always listens to all my questions and answer them thoughtfully. Her assistants have always been helpful when I have called between appointments. I feel very confident in my husband’s care for his Parkinson’s disease and associated problems.
Dr. Peckham and her team are incredible. I’ve never needed any type of therapy before, but this team is amazing. I was given a form from my job that had to be turned in by ‘end-of-business day tomorrow or you won’t have benefits.’ Dr. Peckham worked on this paper between seeing her patients, so I could have it turned on time. I’ve never seen or heard of a doctor who would go out of her way to make sure I didn’t lose my benefits. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Dr. Elizabeth Peckham has been caring for my multiple illnesses for about 9 years. She and her MA, Cyndel, are compassionate, efficient and never stop until they found out what is wrong with me. Dr. Peckham and the doctors/facilities she has sent me to have found many answers/diagnoses to my painful and debilitating symptoms that are rapidly progressing. I don’t know how I would have made it through all that has happened to me without her.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Peckham for over 5 years now. She is very attentive and addresses every issue.
Dr. Peckham is well-informed and easy to talk to. She really considered options and ideas I suggested, including supplements for the treatment of my Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Adam Horvit at Central Texas Neurology Consultants has been fantastic over the past year. He’s very thorough, takes a thoughtful and conservative approach, and always makes sure I understand everything. He’s great about answering all my questions at appointments, by phone, and is available through the patient portal. Highly recommend!
First time seeing Dr. Parisa Khosravi and omg what a gem I found. She just started working here and she is so patient and thorough with her diagnosis. I highly recommend this MS specialist as a doctor and kind human.
