Recognizing there is more than one way to practice medicine, Dr. Peebles is especially passionate about cholesterol management, cardiovascular risk reduction, and prevention strategies, going beyond “this just runs in my family” to find real answers and real solutions. He draws on the full wealth of clinical and scientific knowledge to guide preventative assessments and treatments that genuinely affect outcomes, bringing informed, evidence-based approaches to each patient that simply weren’t possible in earlier generations of medicine.

Dr. Peebles’ Approach to Care

Dr. Peebles has always believed that medicine works best as a collaborative process. Rather than arriving at recommendations in isolation, he takes the time to understand each patient’s long-term goals and personal values before shaping a care plan together. He views himself not as the authority, but as an advisor, one who ensures patients are fully informed about all testing, medications, and treatment options so they can ultimately make the decisions that are right for them.

“I am your advisor in terms of your healthcare,” he states in reflection of how he approaches patient care. “My goal is to make sure you feel seen and heard as an individual, then serve as your advocate for the best treatment path forward.”

Above all, Dr. Peebles is inspired by the journey in helping people not only determine their healthcare goals, but achieve them.

Education & Training

Dr. Peebles traces his calling to medicine back to his earliest years, when he watched his grandfather navigate cardiovascular disease and heart surgery. This experience led to a lifelong desire to help people, one that gradually formed into a clear purpose: to become a physician. That commitment took him from James Madison University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in biology (pre-med), to Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, where he earned his M.D. and completed both his internship and residency.

His first clinical experience came at a family-owned practice run by his uncle and brother-in-law, where patients were treated like extended family members. That formative environment shaped a care philosophy he has carried throughout his career.

“To this day, I still make sure to spend time with each of my patients, ask them about their health history,” he says. “I like to get to know them and their lifestyle. That’s the only way you can really treat a patient, address their health concerns, and put them on the path to healing and better health.”

 Throughout his career, including serving as Associate Medical Director at James River Hospice and affiliations with Chippenham, Johnston-Willis, and Henrico Doctor’s Hospitals, Dr. Peebles has built his clinical specialties in a broad range of chronic conditions. These include joint pain, chronic diabetes, chronic high blood pressure, and cholesterol management. He also has extensive experience helping patients manage their weight, including guiding patients through semaglutide (Ozempic, Zepbound, and related) treatments to support healthy, sustainable weight loss.

He is proud to bring this expertise to WellcomeMD, where he enjoys spending time with patients and allowing them the opportunity to share their needs and goals in order to create a fully customized treatment plan.
