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.

Dr. Whiles, Rick got me as a new pt in January diagnosing me with something that took more than one visit and a confirmation blood work and dropped me as a pt the day he was suppose to provide me a treatment plan!

Great doctor
He walks into the exam room and begins telling me what he has just reviewed on my chart from other doctors' visits or lab results. He always knows everything that has gone on since my last wellness check. He is easy to talk to and he always listens to what I tell him about my symptoms.

My mother was a patient of Dr. Whiles for 5+ years. We watched her health deteriorate quickly. A 55 year smoker, terrible cough, and low oxygen, Dr. Whiles never even ordered a chest x-ray. First appointment with a new doctor, he ordered at home oxygen, gave her an antibiotic for her cough, and found a mass in her lungs. Three weeks after that first PCP appointment, we have an oncology visit scheduled at UNC. Dr. Whiles diagnosed my mom with asthma when she really had lung cancer.
