With the launch of West Side Concierge Medicine, Dr. Peiffer is redefining what healthcare can feel like—more time, more access, and more connection.
Why Family Medicine?
Dr. Peiffer’s path to medicine grew from a love of science and a desire to connect with people. Family medicine felt like the perfect fit, giving her the chance to care for patients at every stage of life and build lasting relationships. She often jokes that untangling knotted necklaces is oddly calming—and she brings that same patience and persistence to helping patients untangle complex health concerns with care and clarity.
Professional Experience & Teaching
Dr. Peiffer has built her career around clinical excellence and mentorship. She has practiced at top organizations in the Akron area, including Cleveland Clinic-affiliated Montrose Primary Care and Marathon Health.

Supporting Women Through Midlife & Beyond
As a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) and Ms.Medicine affiliate, Dr. Peiffer is proud to bring compassionate, evidence-based menopause care to Fairlawn—because too many women have gone too long without it. She understands how exhausting it is to be told “everything looks normal” when you feel anything but. With a warm, validating approach and advanced training in midlife health, she helps women find answers, relief, and a clear path forward through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
