Pete works at the Oceanside Wellness Centre as an alternative medicine doctor. He has said to have gone through medical school and then have spent five years in China learning alternative medicine. He is also a licenced herbalist. During her visit, after telling him that she is infertile, Pete kisses Addison Montgomery to remind her that she is not dried up . Addison is interested in pursuing a relationship with him but backs off after learning from her mutual friend with Pete, Sam Bennett, that Pete was married, but his wife died eight years prior. Because of this, Sam claims that Pete is unable to connect with women, making it impossible to be coupled with him. In fact, this inability is said to be the reason that the previous OBGYN left the practice. When Addison moves to LA Pete is scared that she might be a crazy person who changes her entire life because of a kiss. When he treats a stripper that Cooper ordered to Sam's house the night before Addison becomes upset, he once again asks her if she wants him to kiss her again but this time she denies angrily. Later on he talks to her in her office, telling her he likes real women and she is one of those to him
