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. Whitley is the best.
I hate to see what I believe to be are fake reviews being left for Dr. Whitley. He does not have a PA nor has he ever. He is very compassionate and his staff is amazing. Dr. Whitley is known to be the most thorough and best vascular surgeon in Alabama. I know from first hand experience.

Rudest surgeon, Ive ever come in contact with.
Told my husband while he was waiting to go back to surgery in the holding area, to hurry up with his questions.. That he was ‘Holding Up’ the Operating Room.. Ive been a preop RN for 38 years and never heard a surgeon so uncaring or rude to a patient prior to their surgery.. unbelievable!

He and his PA were rude and uncaring
He and his PA were so so rude and unprofessional. They asked why I was their, I said I was refered by another doctor, because of what was found on an mri. He I don't see why, nothing shows on the mri. He made me very uncomfortable with his condescending attitude. I'm just doing what my doctor said I needed to do and who to see, he's the one who chose for me to see him. He said he'd set up another test, this is after already having 2 mri done in last month and a half. When they call with that appointment I'll be telling them no thanks. Will never see him again.

Unprofessional
Dr. Whitley is the rudest, coldest and most unprofessional doctor I have ever been to. He also missed a critical diagnosis.

Dr. Whitley and Dr. Quinney recently performed surgery on my 14 y/o for thoracic outlet syndrome. These doctors are the best and cared for my son like he was their own.

He is extremely professional and a silled surgeon! I was always treated with respect and compassion by Dr. Whitley and his entire staff. I've since moved out of state and only wish my current vascular surgeon was as knowledgable a surgeon.

I have had two surgeries with Dr Whitley. The most recent being my right carotid having plaque removed. I have total confidence in Dr. Whitley and trust in his diagnosis and his ability as a surgeon. Would not use anyone else.
