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 Whitlow
I just updated my review of dr whitlow and Bri his assistant saying they were outstanding, but after my pain medication not being sent to the pharmacy 2 days ago and now I have no pain medication for 2 straight days I probably will have to make a trip to the Emergency Room

Changed my life for the BETTER!
I saw Dr. Whitlow as a patient about 7 months ago. Dr. Whitlow was very receptive regarding my pain concerns. He sat down with me and listened to my concerns and previous treatment paths. He took the necessary steps to make sure the treatment options available are the safest options for me. Together we came up with a plan to significantly reduce my pain! My spinal cord stimulator is providing me with between 50-70% pain relief which has given me my quality of life back!Him and his team truly want to figure out the root cause of pain and because of this I feel in control of my pain for the first time in my life!Thanks Dr. Whitlow for changing my life for the better!

The best and most professional Dr I’ve ever meet.
I was in so much pain before I was introduced to IPI and Dr Witlow. It was just by accident I happened to find there office, I was literally bed ridden for 3 1/2 years. Dr Witlow gave me my life back,and I could not be more grateful for Dr Witlow and IPI. I have been to a lot of different doctors by this time looking for help. I have 4 broken vertebrae’s and 2 are inoperable to fix is what I was told by 2 neurosurgeon's I had lost all hope before meeting Dr Witlow. So I’d recommend him to anyone as a matter of fact I have I went around to every Drs office I know and dropped off business cards and shared my experience with Dr Witlow.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Whitlow provides a kind and light heartened environment for patients, making it easier to invest in learning more about general health and well being and how it can be altered with pain. He offers a new perspective in how pain can be treated in daily life with different approaches, wanting the best plan of care suited for me. I’m glad I found a doctor that I trust, listens, and truly wants to make a difference.

IPI review Dr. Whitlow
Dr Whitlow has helped me more in the past 18 months to get to a better quality of life than all the other Dr's I've seen in the past 29 years. He actively listens and seems genuine in his care and philosophy of treatment. Pain control is a battle of attrition; there is no magic bullet. Pills can help until you need more (and more), but actively participating in the treatment and realizing that you'll likely never be at 100% is ( in my opinion) key to moving forward. I never believed it was possible, but you can have better days. Additionally, his staff is exceptional. Both front desk and assistants are stellar and kind.

He doesn't care
I tried to talk to him but he just told me his plan for me and my pain. He walked out of the office before I was done speaking with him. It's his way or the highway. Not one once of concern for me. I'd rather be in pain than see him again.

This guy is amazing!
I've seen Dr. Whitlow on a number of occasions for chronic back and leg pain. Why is he a great doctor? 1. He listens. I can't stress this enough. Both he and Dr. Gheith listen to patients instead of just prescribing. 2. He involves me in my treatment plan. He actively involves me in the decisions we make about my care. I know the details of my treatment, and what options lie down the road. 3. He takes the time to explain how my treatment works, any risks, and follow up. You're not a number. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone seeking relief from chronic pain. Thank you, Doctor Whitlow!
