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.

Quadricep tear
Do NOT even CONSIDER treatment from this man. I tore my quadricep two years ago and he botched it. I wasn't able to fully extend my right leg. I got a second opinion and after an MRI (which Whitney never ordered), I was told my kneecap was too low and the quadricep tendon wasn't attached correctly. I'm still waiting to hear the status of my complaint against this "surgeon".

Visiting Dr. Whitney was dehumanizing. I'm sure he's seen it all as a doctor and is maybe desensitized to people coming to his office in pain (I probably would be too if I were in his shoes), but the callous manner that her regarded me with was deeply troubling. At one point he laughed out loud at my concerns. I was made to feel like I was wasting his time just by being there. He met with me for about 5 minutes and then quickly rattled off some prescriptions for me without explaining what any of them were for, and then rushed out the door. I had to awkwardly stop him and ask questions in the hallway (within earshot of everyone else in the office). I'm sure he's a competent doctor but getting me out the door was more important to him than my health. I don't like writing online reviews and did not like writing this one, but I want to warn all potential patients to spare them a visit like mine- only visit this doctor if you have exhausted all other options.

I had ACL surgery. First appointment he he listened attentively to my symptoms and concerns. Once all my results were in Dr. Whitney was articulate, professional and very informative of recommended procedures. He presented equal options with no pressure on treatment based on my diagnose and collected data. Due to my activity level, previous injury and age I moved forward with reconstruction of the ACL. Surgery and recovery continues to go well. I highly suggest Dr Whitney.

I fell over the weekend and went into the office on Monday morning with no appointment I was seen within 10 minutes of arriving. The whole appointment took no more than a half hour all of the staff was very nice, I had x-rays done and then met with the doctor. He explained everything that I should be doing as well as gave me a brace for my ankle and scheduled a follow up appointment if I needed it. Would highly recommend and would go back in the future if needed.

Suffered a moderate degree strain/sprain to the upper extremity. Unfortunately my pain levels were at the upper limits and was only RX short steroid dose. & anti inflammatory. Did not address my level of pain especially in the evening. Now I am very fearful to return to any degree physical training. The staff and physician were very nice and the building was super clean.
