About Dr Peatman

Helping my patients overcome their injuries and return to their active lifestyles is a special role that I consider a privilege. My talents and interests are perfectly suited to the restorative nature of orthopedics.
While at UC Berkeley, I studied philosophy in addition to my pre-medical courses. I left the area to train in Chicago in Orthopedic Surgery. I volunteered for and gained a commission in the US Navy, starting active duty immediately after the events of 9/11.
I provided orthopedic care to the US and Allied armed forces in the lower half of Italy for 2 years, based in wonderful Naples, near the Amalfi Coast. I then completed a Flight Surgery program in Aviation Medicine in Pensacola, FL. This allowed me to be the Orthopedic liaison to the aviation community in Jacksonville, FL, as well as caring for the submarine squadron in King’s Bay, GA. After 5 years of service, I chose to settle down with my family in one place, moving back to the Bay Area in 2006. I joined Webster Orthopedics, which is now Golden State.
I see patients with injuries or degenerative conditions of the shoulder, hip, and knee, as well as associated back and neck issues. I no longer perform surgery, rather I focus on non-surgical remedies and optimization. My patients find it refreshing that I have performed thousands of surgical procedures and therefore know the detailed pros and cons of each surgery, but I am not recruiting patients to have surgery with me. When a patient has not improved with conservative treatment, such as injections, physical therapy, bracing, medications and orthobiologics, I facilitate transferring care to the ideal surgeon in our 40+ surgeon group.
I believe every patient is unique. My philosophy is simple: I strive to find the solutions that best  meet my patients’ needs and beliefs. Additionally, I believe it is important to put my patients at ease and make it an enjoyable process.
When I have free time outside of work, I enjoy traveling and trail running races up to 100 Kilometer distances.
My staff and I want to make sure that you leave well-informed and are confident with your visit. We welcome your questions or concerns regarding your orthopedic condition.

I have visited Dr. Peatman six times now for chronic soft tissue pain and dysfunction. He is attentive, knowledgeable, and great with targeted lidocaine and cortisone shots. He also had a hunch about nerve impingement in my neck which, after doing in-house imaging at his office, was proven correct. The fact that Dr. Peatman used to do surgery is clear in the quality of his work. I've made more progress on my chronic issues with him than with anyone in the last 10 years. Very highly recommended.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Peatman. He replaced my left hip in 2021, during the pandemic, when my regular provider would not. I was limping and in pain. Almost 3 years later I’m probably in the best shape of my life; weight training and roller skating. I truly believe I received the best hip in the world. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him. He’s also a really nice person!

Dr. Peatman is kind and caring. He takes the right amount of time for you to be heard, and most important he HEARS what you are saying. Many doctors are on such a time crunch that quality care can sometimes slip away. Dr. Peatman has always taken the necessary time for me, the staff is also of like mind, they are a great team of professionals.

I returned to Dr. Peatman seven years after he performed a partial replacement on my right knee - an unqualified success - hoping for help with other issues. In the meantime I had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and developed hip bursitis, a cranky left knee, and severe back pain. We have solved all three orthopedic problems over the last year and I couldn’t be happier! He has made it his mission to keep me moving, which is critical,with Parkinson’s, and does so with humor and compassion. What a godsend!

Dr. Peatman consulted, advised, diagnosed and treated me for the past ten years. This includes an array of visits discussing joint related issues including arthritis and bursitis. He also performed a knee replacement which allowed me to return to my normal active life. In addition, he replaced one of my wife’s hips flawlessly as well. We have found Dr. Peatman to be knowledgeable, forthright and creative in his approach to assessment and treatment of orthopedic medical challenges. He is and has been courteous, witty and humorous in our interactions. It is without reservation that I recommend him and his team as a resource for anyone’s orthopedic concerns. Don Arnold

I have been going to Dr Peatman for a number of years now. I am completely satisfied with his interaction with me being I'm of a different nationality. He listens to me, has compassion, answers my questions, shows me and explains to me in layman's language so I may have an understanding. Most of all he is always on time, and when I say to him "your on time", his reply is "I respect your time" looking at me with a smile. That always surprises me because most doctors look at me in a not too good way after saying that, and provide care the same way.

I had back and hip issues for several after a bad fall "attempting" to play pickleball. I went to a plethora of doctors and all were either dismissive or KNEW they could fix me right up, but when their approach didn't work, they treated me as if I was wasting their time. I slept in a recliner for 8 months. At that point a friend recommended Dr. Hou. I sat in his office for a bit. He walked in, asked me a few questions and said I needed an epidural asap! Three days later he did it. Back responded extremely well, but my hips were still a mess. So Dr. Hou referred me to Dr. Peatman. He asked if I wanted shots in my hips "today" or wanted to come back. Today worked fine for me! He gave me two shots, one in each hip and I walked out in the hallway and burst into tears. It was the first time in 3 years I had been pain-free. I have returned as needed to relieve hip pain. In recent months I developed a persistent pain below my knee on the side of my leg that radiated up behind my knee and down to my foot. I saw Dr. Peatman, not knowing if this was something he could address or not. He immediately zeroed in on the angry muscle. Said it was up to me if I wanted to try a shot because it might not work. At that point, I couldn't step up on a curb with my right foot and had to have assistance to sit down or get up. I wanted to try the shot. AMAZING results. I'm now completely mobile. Dr. Peatman is a very caring, hands-on doctor. He doesn't stay stuck to his keyboard, he touches his patients to determine how he can help them. He will also touch your heart because he is gentle and kind. He and Dr. Hou have eliminated so much pain from my life. They have given me my life back!

I wish I could give Dr Peatman and his staff 6 stars. I've had an ongoing difficult issue with my hip and knee and have been to a lot of doctors. Dr Peatman was the first doctor that actually listened to me and the first to actually try to figure out what was wrong, rather than giving up or saying there's nothing wrong with me. He always treated me with kindness and compassion and it made all the difference. His PA Brian, the imaging staff, and the front desk staff are all so kind and friendly as well. My only complaint is that it can be a long wait to speak to someone and can be difficult to get someone to call you back about issues, but they are such a busy office that it makes sense.

The second I walked into the door of Webster Orthopedic I was welcome with great customer service and attention. They made it easy in completing their application for new patients. I didn't know the application was so long. My reservation with first time visit is filling out a medical and health life history. The two beautiful girls at the front desk ( one name Samantha ) were helpful in moving me along so not to hold up the doctor. My progression from the front lobby to have x-rays and then to meet with the doctor was brief. Consulting with the doctor about my condition were analyze and near perfect. I only say "near perfect" because I have question I didn't think of asking the doctor until I walked out the door. I want to thank the other receptionist at the front desk; my apologies for not getting your name. I certainly want to thank Dr Thomas Peatman for seeing me, reviewing my x-rays and my physical self. It was Dr Peatman clarity and assessment that ease a critical wondering about my diagnostic.

Dr. Peatman was very kind and knowledgeable. I have been having trouble with my left hip for about seven years.. not to the severity that it is now. I had relief with the cortisone shot right away. Yesterday I went zooming around the island in my kitchen and I overdid it. I had to take it easy the rest of the day. I don’t hurt today so I learned my lesson to walk moderately. Dr. Peatman reassured me that if I lose some weight everything will be ok and I can have hip replacement surgery.

An outstanding orthopedic surgeon, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Thomas Peatman. He has replaced both of my hip joints with no problems, relatively little time to recover, and minimal pain after the surgery. His “soft skills” as in his bedside manner, could however be improved. For my own peace of mind, I needed to see him while in my hospital bed after the surgery, but he was unable or unwilling to visit me...thus only 4 stars.

From the moment I checked in for my appoint l was treated with the upmost safety and kindness. The receptioninst was patient, caring and very respectful. The stanoghgfer who performed my xrays was patient and kind also. I noticed how the stranogher spoke to the patient leaving his exmaine prior to my examine. I over heard how he spoke to the patient leaving, I said to myself, wow everybody here seems so kind. They santize the room after each vist. Of course that helped ease my anxiety. Then l met Dr Peatman. One of the first things he said was, I'm going to make you feel better. He showed genuine corncern about my well being. He explained the diagnois and explained the best options for treatment. I cant express how blessed I am to have him as my doctor. He follows up with you to check on your progress.

Dr. Peatman is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon-my surgeries have been super successful. In 2013 I had my right hip replaced and in 2015 my left hip was replaced. The recovery for both surgeries was short and way above expectations. Dr. Peatman and his staff provide excellent care. In 2018 Dr. Peatman replaced my right knee-again the recovery was shorter than expected and my knee is back to normal. I recommend Dr. Peatman to all my friends that are considering hip or knee replacements. He is the BEST!

Dr. Peatman is a very thoughtful and intelligent orthopedic surgeon. My interactions with him have been very informative. He also went the extra mile to personally make calls to determine coverage etc., even as I sat in his office. Some frustrating nonsense and it was not resolved right then, but at least he tried, which is more than many physicians seem willing to do these days. He is methodical in his approach to rule out and identify the problem. I hope 🤞 to resolve my ongoing issue with his help, it’s critical to my being able to stay active.

I have been seeing Dr Peatmen since 2014 for a hip replacement and he has also taken care of my other hip and replaced my left knee. He is a great and caring doctor. I have recommended to my family and friends and they all say the samething about him and his staff. I would fly around the world to have him operate on me or my family.

Dr. Peatman is one of the most knowledgeable medical professionals in the Bay Area. He is kind, caring, and works with a patient to develop the best possible plan for care taking into consideration all available options. I would not hesitate to recomend Dr. Peatman to anyone who is in need of knee and/or hip care and surgery. I would give more STARS but I only have 5. My outcome has been great, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to improve on my knee replacement.

Dr. Peatman most recently repaired my knee by performing a microfracture surgery. I wasn't able to walk without crutches for about three months prior to the surgery. It is easy to take things for granted but I don't take having access to such a high caliber surgeon who cares about his patients and the community. I am grateful!

From the friendly, helpful check in staff, to Dr Peatman’s comforting and competent style, and his assistant’s kindness and help...I had a great experience. I felt heard, seen and helped with my problem. I cannot always say that about medical professionals so they made a big impression on me!

DR. Peatman did a superb job on both of my right and left hip replacements. I was able to walk right after my surgery and never had to use a walker, crutches or cane. I can’t be anymore happier with my hip replacements results.

I was concerned about the length of my hospital stay. I call Dr Peatman’s office to make sure I wouldn’t be forced to leave the hospital within 24 hours. I was awaiting a return call from Dr Peatman’s staff with an answer and Dr Peatman called and explained the procedure and hospital stay. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that call and how comfortable it made me feel. Thank you Dr Peatman!

Dr Peatman did my knee replacement surgery 6 years ago and it was perfect. So I consulted with him again because of pain in that knee that worried me. He took the time to ask questions, do an exam and read past and present xrays and was able to quickly let me know that the replacement knee was fine... but it was reacting to other issues. He was warm and interested and explained everything well

Walking around on my new Total Hip Joint and grateful for Dr. Peatman's expertise! Have been to both his Oakland and San Ramon office and was immediately greeted by his courteous and engaging front desk. His back office staff is both kind and professional. Dr. Peatman explained everything clearly and compassionately while answering all my questions thoroughly. His P.A. Brian has a calming way that made my pre-operative injection painless. Walking straight and thankful for Dr. Peatman's Team!

I have been very fortunate over the last twenty years to have been treated by a family doctor who is connected to a network of fantastic specialists. This is the reason I travel almost 200 miles to be treated by Dr. Peatman. The Webster Orthopedic Group is a class act. Every person I have dealt with has been friendly, polite and professional. Calls are answered or returned promptly, waiting room time for appointments is almost non-existent, Dr. Peatman and his staff are efficient and respectful of my time. Often, they get me in early and out quickly due to my long drive. All my crazy requests are handled efficiently with 5 star customer service. I have never been made to feel I'm asking for too much or wasting the staffs time. Dr. Peatman is a confident but not cocky surgeon who always makes me feel he has my best interests at heart. He takes time to answer my questions and explain treatments and procedures so I fully understand. He never appears to be in a hurry. During my surgeries, I have noticed the operating room support staff seem to enjoy working with Dr. Peatman. I even had one nurse tell me he is the best surgeon she had worked with. I can't think of a better endorsement.

Dr. Peatman is both friendly and professional. He listens to my questions and concerns, he treats me with respect and courtesy, he answers all my questions and suggests options for dealing with different issues, (last but not least) he did an excellent job replacing my hips. Both surgeries went really well, with minimal recovery time needed. I'm really pleased with all of his service.

I can honestly say that Dr. Peatman is one of the most knowledgeable and talented orthopedic surgeons in the Bay Area. My husband and I first met him when he gave a lecture on osteoarthritis and joint replacement at Alta Bates in Berkeley. We asked questions and he answered clearly and thoroughly. We really liked his approach to joint replacement surgery so we made an appointment to see him at his office. His manner is kind and caring. He has a great bedside  manner (always positive!) and a funny sense of humor. I felt very comfortable going forward with my knee replacement surgery. His support staff, especially his PA, Brian Costello, are just as caring as Dr. Peatman. I had previously worked with two orthopedic surgeons in the East Bay over the course of 12 years but never felt 100% comfortable scheduling my surgery as I did with Dr. Peatman and the staff at Webster Orthopedics. He was honest about possible outcomes after my surgery and laid out a careful plan of rehabilitation and therapy. I felt like I had a medical partner helping me to be the best person I could be. Thanks Dr. Peatman!!!

Pleased to have successfully addressed the pain in my knee with a steroid injection from Dr. Peatman--at least for now. Grateful I could have an appointment with him even on a super busy day at his practice! Dr. Peatman and Brian, his PA, explained clearly what was likely going on with my knee(s) based on the xrays taken that morning at their office, and told me the options we could try. Both were friendly, easy to talk with, and professional. If I have further issues with the torn meniscus, bone spurs, or arthritis, I'll continue my care treatment with Dr. Peatman and Brian--without hesitation.

Dr. Peatman has operated on both of my hips. He had to do a revision on my left hip that another doctor did a poor job on it and the prosthetic hip that broke inside of me after only 2 years after it was installed. He helped me tremendously. He has a great bedside manor and don't quite attitude about getting you out of pain. I would fly around the world to have him take care of me and my family. His staff is tremendous. Starting with Brittney they will do whatever it takes to take care of you. I highly recommend Dr Peatman and his staff.

I'm thrilled with the outcome of my total hip replacement and am so grateful I found Dr. Thomas Peatman. He is exactly what a doctor should be: caring, compassionate, optimistic, and incredibly talented as a surgeon. He is exactly what you want when relying on an expert to help you walk again! He was available to answer my questions and gave me support when I needed it, including calling me on his day off to check on me. I feel he's a true healer. I recommend him highly, and I wish all doctors were like him. Eight months after my surgery I took a trip to Costa Rica, where I went zip lining, inner tubing on a pretty rough river, sailing and snorkeling, horseback riding, and to top it off went hiking in a cloud forest where I hiked eight miles one day (and climbed the equivalent of 90 flights of stairs according to my app). I am truly back in action. The staff at Webster Orthopedics is also a joy to work with. The environment at the two clinics I visited is one of teamwork and care, and you can tell the staff is happy to be there. In addition, the physical therapy care I received was exemplary.

I had a worker injury and anyone who had to deal with worker comp knows it is not easy. My first surgeon told me he doesn't like worker's comp cases because it was too difficult.   I was referred to Dr. Peatman and he told me he would do what it takes to get my surgery done and with the help of his evaluation, I had my surgery completed within 6 months. After my surgery his office was in constant contract checking on my recovery. I had questions and when I called, Dr. Peatman answered them himself. I highly recommend Dr. Peatman not only for his skill as as surgeon but his concerns for his patients and his professional staff.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Peatman. Three years ago I had my right hip replaced and the surgery was very successful. The home care rehab came over 2 times and then dismissed me because the surgery was so successful. Off the pain meds in 2 weeks, back at work at my desk in 2 weeks. The follow-up visits were just a basic check-in. Dr. Peatman suggested that I wait three months before I start playing golf-I waited and three years later I am pain-free. Eighteen months ago I had my left hip replaced by Dr. Peatman. This time it was even better-no rehab was required as I was walking doing so well. Golf again in six weeks. I found Dr. Peatman's bed-side manner excellent and would recommend him to anyone.

I wish I could give Dr Peatman and his staff 6 stars.  He always treated me with kindness and compassion and it made all the difference. His PA Brian, the imaging staff, and the front desk staff are all so kind and friendly as well.
