Charles H. Peebles Jr., M.D.

Opthalmology

Dr. Charles H. Peebles Jr., retired, appointed to the Providence medical staff in 1956, specialized in ophthalmology. He is known as an “old-fashioned” physician who made house calls, delivered medicine on his way home and was always willing to stay late if it was more convenient for a patient. The physician who nominated him for this honor said, “Dr. Peebles’ concern for people is one of his chief virtues and he exemplifies the kind of person who should be a physician.”
