Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Meticulous and compassionate
He was very kind and meticulous with me, although he is a man of few words. That said, when I was in Pre-Op, he came in, introduced himself, prayed over me, and made a joke as he used a marker to mark my right wrist prior to surgery. My recovery went smoothly and my follow up visits after surgery were always pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Whitaker.

Right knee replacement
Dr. Whitaker is kind and caring, listens and offers all treatment options. His staff is helpful and the office is run efficiently with short wait times but no feeling of being rushed. My knee replacement went well with extensive pre and post op instructions and exercises to help with recovery given in a packet. I was able to refer to the packet to refresh my understanding of instructions for best outcome. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Whitaker and Baptist Beaches Hospital to anyone needing knee replacement surgery

Dr. Whitaker performed a hip replacement on me several years ago. It was transformative. He engaged me in the process....what I wanted to be able to do again without pain, what kind of hip device he wanted to use, etc. The entire process start to finish was great. I have been pain free for 9 years. My husband has been to him as well, and recently, my 12 year old son broke his wrist. I called to get an appointment with Dr. Whitaker, and once again, he was awesome! Highly recommemd!!
