About Me
Biography
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a doctor. I always loved both math and science in school, so studying medicine was a logical fit. When I learned more about the ways the ears, nose and throat work together, it fascinated me and led me to choosing otolaryngology as my specialty.

Verified patient
Jul 2024I called with a minority urgent condition. My right ear had a blockage that made it nearly non-functional. I had called an ENT doctor that I had used previously in High Point. I was told that his first available appointment was 6 weeks out, and his P.A. would be 2 weeks out. I didn't want to wait that long, so I called Novant to see if they could do better than that. Imagine my delight to hear that Dr. Whitaker could see me that afternoon! Dr. Whitaker diagnosed this as an earwax problem and cleaned out that ear. I walked out of the office 30 minutes after I walked in, with my problem completely resolved.
