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.

If you have nothing put time Dr. Whitman is your man. Went to see him last week and waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for a 3 minute consultation. My wife had a consultation with him (2 hour wait) and had stitches removed (another 2 hour wait). You would think this was a walk in clinic.... we had appointments. My time is just as valuable. I’ll find another Dr.

I waited 5 years to post this review. In 2015 I had a thyroidectomy, Dr Whitman was my surgeon. Post surgery I returned to Dr Whitman 3 times with the same issue - I had no vocal pitch. Each time he claimed my laryngeal nerve test was positive after performing the surgery. On the 3 visits he never performed any additional tests, no physical touching of my throat or visually checking my throat. He just said, “It will get better, give it time.” After my third visit I made an appointment with Dr. Natasha Mirza, an Otorhinolaryngolist @ the University of Pennsylvania. I was diagnosed with injury of the laryngeal nerve which was due to the surgery Dr. Whitman performed. This Doctor offered no help whatsoever.

Good. Thorough. Knows what he’s doing. A skilled surgeon. Wait times are ridiculous. Plan on no less that 90 minutes in his office for a 5 minute consultation.

Dr Whitman and Mary worked very hard from day 1 . The Dr,Removed a huge tumor within days of my first visit, and within a few days was getting the results back as to what type of Melanoma i had, right away started with the right medicine, and never stopped while switching my medicine 3 times till i was 100% clean. I originally got diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in the Lymph Nodes back in 2011 i was cleaned of it from 2014 to 2016 . Now round 2. I'm ready for the fight, i trust my Dr 500%.
