About
Darryl Peterson
Dr. Darryl Peterson was first introduced to medicine at the age of eight, when he helped his great-grandmother deliver a baby on a neighboring farm, near his home in Hammond, Louisiana. Where we lived, the doctors couldn't always come, said Dr. Peterson. Neighbors helped each other. This experience reinforced the philosophy of care that continues to guide Dr. Peterson's Hand Surgery practice today: all patients deserve equal care, regardless of their ability to pay. It also played a role in his decision to become part of CHI St. Joseph Health, where our Mission and values-based ministry centers on serving the poor and vulnerable in our communities. Today Dr. Peterson provides a wide range of services and care to patients, dividing his time between our Operating Room at Regional Hospital and our College Station Orthopedics clinic, where he works alongside experts and therapists to care for patients' hand injuries, deformities and infections. Dr. Peterson is passionate about his work, which he said often focuses on providing individualized care, since hand conditions and injuries can also impact the brain. Like our eyes, mouth and feet, our hands are part of how we sense things, said Dr. Peterson. And, our fingers and hands have an exaggerated representation in the brain. Often, we're not only taking care of the injury; we're also taking care of how a person's life is affected by that injury. Dr. Peterson holds a Doctorate in Medicine from Hahnemann University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the United States Military Academy at West Point. He completed his Hand Fellowship at the Christine Kleinert Institute in Louisville, Kentucky. In his spare time, he enjoys photography, cycling, running and playing tennis with his wife Lydia.
