Bio
Bruce Elder
Dr. Peterman is an experienced and compassionate professional with a deep understanding of the clinical elements of our business. She brings a practical perspective to her role and has helped us continually deliver high clinical quality while achieving high levels of patient satisfaction. In addition, she has helped us implement key operational initiatives and systems that have benefited the business significantly. Equally as important, I have every confidence that she will always do the right thing for the safety and welfare of our patients and team members.
Chris Winkle
It is with great pleasure that I would recommend Sophia Peterman for any CMO role or any other role in the health care industry. Not only is Sophia great at building relationships and keeping them, but she plays in the sandbox like no one I’ve ever seen with everyone at every level. Aside from those attributes she is intelligent and a subject matter expert, all while remaining humble. The bottom line is that Sophia is one-of-a-kind reliable, rock solid, and there is not a bone of arrogance in her body, when at her level some tend to be.
