Ms Peacock has experience in Neurology, Emergency Department/Trauma Unit, Urgent Care Center, Primary Care and has worked in an office based opioid treatment center (MAT for OUD) since March 2021. In November she made the decision to take full advantage of the clinic she started in 2021 and start a telehealth based clinic to the residents of Louisiana. Many residents due not have access to treatment facilities where they live and due to the high cost of living cannot afford to drive one-two hours to be seen at a clinic out of town. Peacock Primary Care brings the services they need into their home; negating the concerns regarding transportation and finding childcare for their appointments.
