Current fellow

Pierce Peters, M.D.

Medical school: Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine

Residency: Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education

I was born in San Diego, California, but moved to Minnesota when I was young and have lived here since. I completed an undergraduate degree in chemistry while also playing basketball and golf at Macalester College. Subsequently, I attended medical school at Mayo Clinic. Outside of neurosurgery, I enjoy listening to and playing classical music, whistling, keeping in touch with friends and family, and playing all sports. Most of all, I enjoy exploring Rochester and the rest of the world with my wife, Simrit, who is a fellow in gynecologic oncology at Mayo Clinic, and our daughters, Calliope and Daphne.
