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.

All around fantastic!
After one visit, Dr Whitt had a plan in place for me and both of my ankles. She listened in detail to everything I had done to alleviate the pain for 10 plus years, and was on board with me wanting surgery after doing her due diligence. She explained the procedure in a clear and concise tone, and made sure all our questions were answered. We had 2 plans in place, depending on what shape the ankle and Achilles was in when she got in there, and had to go to a 3rd option when she saw exactly what shape my Achilles was in. The confidence she had going into the first surgery put me at ease, which made each checkup that much easier, which rolled right into the 2nd surgery. We were all very happy with the results. The scars are very minimal from what I expected, which is literally the only downside as they don't reflect the pain I was in for years, but that is a credit to Dr Whitt!Thorough, engaging, confident, and all around fantastic! Both Dr Whitt and the entire staff were amazing!

I came to Dr Whitt looking for a second opinion and guidance regarding a fractured bone in my foot after a fall. She very clearly explained by options, pros and cons of surgery and answered all my questions. At that point I was able to make a decision I was comfortable with and choose her for my surgeon. Each appointment after surgery, which went very smoothly, I am given written directions to follow and take home. Very nice to have to refer to and today I am now able to put full weight on that foot with cam-boot and walker as needed. Even though I have a ways to go until I am fully recovered I thank Dr Whitt and her very caring and friendly staff very much.

Has helped all of my children (6) with problems of ingrown toenails. Her and her staff always made/make them comfortable and very thorough in explaining after care and preventative care. Sometimes there's a longer wait but, after being a patient that needed a little extra time, I was thankful they take time needed and don't just push patients out. Wouldn't take them anywhere else!
