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.
Very knowledgeable and professional. He listened and really helped me with my knee pain. I highly recommend Dr. Whitehead!

Dr. Whitehead was friendly and thorough. They snuck me in quickly when I needed to be cleared for a minor surgery for the next day and never once did I feel like I was a bother to him or his staff.

I highly recommend Dr. Whitehead. He knew that my shoulder pain was being caused by pinched nerves in my neck. He listens very well and answers all your questions.

Dr. Whitehead is consistently accurate in his diagnosis and treatment plans. His administrative assistant is awesome with getting follow up appointments in and outside of Ortho Neuro. Whenever I have a orthopedic related issue I always try to see Dr. Whitehead.

My visit with him was a good visit. He asked questions, he listened and was thorough. He’s a Pittsburgh Penguin fan but I wouldn’t hold that against him. Lol
I would recommend him to anyone.

Great ortho doc. Have seen him twice and received excellent care. I had gone to another Urgent Care and couldn't even get a Xray. Discovered OrthoNeuro on the Web. Dr. Whitehead listened to me and understood that I was in pain. Xrays confirmed tears in my
shoulder. Cortisone shot and a sling, I was out the door. Pain was relieved and I was so grateful! Dr. Whitehead even followed up on my injured shoulder and recommended a surgeon. A few weeks later, I went back to OrthoNeuro and was lucky to get Dr. Whitehead again. Exam and Xrays revealed tendonitis. Another Cortisone shot provided some relief. Knowing what's causing pain is half of the battle. An Urgent Care, for orthopedic issues, was new to me. Great! Ask for Dr. Whitehead. He's a keeper!

Robert D. Whitehead, M.D, Head Doctor in Orthopedic at OrthoNeuro Urgent Care, in Columbus, Ohio is a wonderful caring Doctor. It is so important to have such an experienced doctor treat you with a swollen knee and know what’s wrong with it and how to treat it. The staff and nurses were friendly and caring. I am happy with the experience. Sincerely, Diane Lynn Trout

I saw Dr. Whitehead at OrthoNeuro Urgent Care for a herniated disc in my back. He was thorough, personable and even showed me my xray film while explaining the issue. I would recommend him and OrthoNeuro Urgent Care to anyone in need of such services.
