Tomi Ola-Peters, MD
BY Meredith Knight
Dr. Tomi Ola-Peters has a passion for empowering her patients to make healthy lifestyle choices. “It’s only when I slow down and really listen to my patients that I can truly understand their priorities and challenges, partner with them, and make a positive impact on their lives,” she said. “I thoroughly enjoyed my time working at Methodist Mansfield Medical Center, as it provides compassionate and excellent care and I enjoyed the staff comradery. But I’ve always held a dream of starting my own private practice.”
As it did for many of us, the COVID pandemic offered Dr. Ola-Peters a catalyst to reconsider where she was in her career and where she’d like to be. “While I loved my seven years as a hospital physician,
I frequently offered services to patients I wanted to continue to assist in improving their health, but I never saw them again.” Through a private practice, Dr. Ola-Peters knew she could forge deeper patient/doctor relationships that could last for years. And that’s exactly what she’s done.
She took a gargantuan leap of faith in 2023 founding DivineTouch Medical Center with the mission of delivering exceptional healthcare while empowering individuals to embrace a healthy lifestyle and practice self-care for improved well-being. Through her internal-medicine primary-care clinic she works in collaboration with patients to create and execute customized wellness plans that enhance their quality of life. It’s proactive health management that’s easily accessible, reasonably priced, and convenient—but first and foremost compassionate.
It’s been a journey transitioning from the hospital setting to a private practice. But for Dr. Ola-Peters it’s a privilege to serve her patients and community as their primary care physician, to integrate lifestyle changes into the prevention, treatment, and management of chronic conditions.
“I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to serve my community, and I’m excited about what He has in store for me in the coming years,” she said.

Dr. Ola-Peters completed her post-graduate certificate in public health at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth and an internal medicine residency at The University of Tyler Health Science Center. She worked in outpatient and inpatient medical centers at Good Shepherd Medical Center Longview, John Peter Smith Hospital, and Methodist Mansfield Medical Center. Now at her private practice, she combines 16 years of medical experience with a compassionate “bedside manner” and a friendly, family-like rapport with her patients.
When not on the job, Dr. Ola-Peters enjoys gardening, music, and spending time with family. She also serves as an adjunct associate professor at TCU School of Medicine mentoring the next generation of healthcare providers and volunteers in the children’s ministry at her church.
