"Dr. Whitehurst was spot on with recovery time."
"i would have like to have met with Dr. Whitehurst himself sooner, rather than wait until my 12 weeks out visit. I had a couple of of other pain issues that were aggravated greatly as a result of the required splint and sling, but I didn't feel like they were appreciative of the additional pain they were causing me, (extreme thumb arthritis and aggravation to my neck/disc hernias). It felt like a bit of "that's not my department." Perhaps even some advise as to what type of doctor I might want to be seen by in the mean time to address those intense pains where suggested. Over all however, very happy with my results."
"Dr. Whitehurst is an excellent doctor"
"Exception care. Wonderful Staff. Very satisfied"
"Dr. Whitehurst answered all of my questions, both before and after the surgery, and explained everything in clear, understandable terms. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing shoulder surgery. Thank you!"
"An exceptional experience from start to finish. Most notable is the smooth organization of every function. The every day glitches and issues were never seen. Seriously professional in all regards."
"Very pleased, terrific results"
"very pleased with results"
"greatest"
"He was very nice and got to the bottom of my problem in no time. He made sure I was doing well."
