Aug 2023I loved the staff and Dr Whitaker straight off, staff very warm and welcoming, Dr Whitaker professional from start but also realized I’m more of a humorous person and eased up into a little more jovial persona which is exactly what I prefer, being a nurse I have found humor to be a very important part of medicine and healing. Thank you Dr Whitaker and staff, sometimes it’s difficult when someone like me, who travels for work, and needs to use a medical team not accustom to for care, to feel comfortable right off the bat, but I felt just like that, you guys are great!

Verified patient
May 2023Dr. Whitaker was excellent! I spent 9 years not understanding the full extent of my condition. He took the time to explain in detail what my situation was, is and will be as I go forward. I will forever be grateful for him. Dr.Whitaker gave me Closure & Peace that I had so long for after 9 years.
Verified patient
May 2023I feel like the appt was rushed and I wasn't heard. He didn't take time to listen to my issues or concerns. I don't feel like there was any compassion at all. I was given no explanation or warnings of what he would be doing, what it would feel like or that it would be stained and embarrassing afterward. There was no numbing beforehand and he was not gentle at all. There were no instruction sheets afterward to help you with aftercare. I called the next day for instruction. She didn't know anything or even try to find out for me. She just said "Oh I'm sorry" very uncaringly. Again, no compassion whatsoever for your patients! I don't think I would ever go here again or recommend to anyone at all!
Verified patient
