Biography
Dr. Richard C. Peebles Jr is a board-certified internal medicine specialist with over 20 years of experience practicing in Richmond, Virginia.
He is a lifelong Richmond resident, and a career-long Richmond physician, receiving his undergraduate degree from James Madison University and his medical degree from Virginia Commonwealth University of Medicine, where he also completed both his internship and residency.
The first clinic Dr. Peebles worked at was with his uncle and brother-in-law. The family-owned practice treated patients like extended members of the family, a care philosophy Dr. Peebles continued into his career. “To this day, I still make sure to spend time with each of my patients, ask them about their health history. 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.”
Joining us from HCA, Dr. Peebles is glad to be able to spend more time with patients again. “Making the switch to concierge allows me to ask those deep questions. The patients have all the information, we as doctors just need to give them enough time to get it out. Unfortunately, that’s just a luxury that’s not usually available in most traditional practice models.”
Dr. Peebles also serves as an Associate Medical Director James River Hospice, a job he’s held for the past three years. Dr. Peebles is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Chippenham and Johnston-Willis Hospitals and Henrico Doctors' Hospitals. His specialties are in joint pain, treating chronic diabetes, chronic high blood pressure, cholesterol management, among other chronic conditions. He has vast experience helping patients manage their weight, including guiding patients on semaglutide (Ozempic, Zepbound etc.) treatments to help them lose weight in a healthy way and keep it off.
Outside of work, Dr. Peebles is a big Dallas Cowboys fan. He enjoys visiting with friends, fishing, and traveling with his wife and their two sons. He is very excited his sons are following his footsteps into medicine. One is studying to be an orthopedic surgeon while the other is pursuing his master’s in athletic training.
