Congratulations to emergency medicine physician Ryan Peterfy, DO, on being selected as our most recent Physician of the Quarter.
Dr. Peterfy has been a part of MPNB's ER group since January 2022 and is loved by patients and the team.
Board certified in emergency medicine by the American Board of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Peterfy received his undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech University and then earned his medical degree from the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, Va. He completed his post-graduate education and residency at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, Calif. and Florida Hospital East in Orlando.
Dr. Peterfy was a member of the Wilderness Medicine Society and traveled to Mount Everest base camp in Nepal to study high altitude medicine where he set up the Everest ER, a temporary medical clinic used during the dangerous climbing season.
The Physician of the Quarter award is based on comments from peers, team members and patients. One nominator wrote, “Dr. Peterfy consistently demonstrates outstanding diagnostic acumen and remains calm, focused, and effective even under the most high-pressure situations. He leads the ER team with humility and collaboration, supporting nurses, techs, and advanced practice providers with equal respect and guidance. His ability to manage complex medical emergencies, and behavioral health crises with grace and efficiency makes him an indispensable member of the team.”
Team members describe Dr. Peterfy as “compassionate, empathetic, supportive, devoted and a team player.”
