He was very fair. Although recommended treatment I told they would provide was not provided to me. Not his fault, just concerned about my condition only

This was one of the best experiences I have with a doctor. Dr. Whitaker discussed every aspect of my surgery and recovery. He showed he was concerned about all aspects of my mental, physical and emotional progress. I was completely overwhelmed by his level of concern and his positive approach to getting me back to complete recovery and my progress for the future.

The provider was very good, but the office wait time was not. I would not return to an office if it consistently made me wait that long.
