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.

Everything was explained to us in detail, a plan was started, my son was comfortable, happy…would recommend..

The doctor I have been working with is great. The staff I speak with to schedule appointments, however, seem a little disinterested. Also, when I do call and no one is available to take my call, it takes me to a voicemail that seems like a cell phone that hasn't been set up. But, overall, the doctor helped me with what I needed help with.

Have been seeing this doctor for quite a few months and she is very thorough with my care. Spends time listening and explaining things, I never feel rushed.

I had seen two previous psychiatrists before turning to Dr. Whitelock, and I am so glad I was recommended him by an old psychologist. I always am eager for my appointments and he’s given me the most accurate diagnosis to date. He’s willing to work with you if you struggle financially and genuinely wants the best for you. He’s improved my life tremendously in the medication deparentment and always asks for your feelings/feedback on the meds he prescribes. He’s awesome!

Dr. Whitelock is personable and charming but those are just his glaring assets when you first walk in his office. His clinical, psychiatric knowledge is outstanding. He gave me a clearer picture of my condition and diagnosed me differently and more accurately than my previous doctor. He prescribed a different medication that has really helped. Additionally, he saved my life when I was inpatient years back. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr Whitehead saved my life and my marriage. I had been prescribed medication for anxiety and depression and my mood swings. He recognized my symptoms and really took the time to diagnose me correctly and I feel like a fog has been lifted.
