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.

Excellent service and caring
Dr. Whitehead is by far one of not the most compassionate and caring doctors I've ever been to. He takes the time to explain all the options and outcomes from a very down to Earth way which will help you make the best decision for you.

Looking for another Urologist
Spent over 2 hours at the practice and saw the doctor for less than 4 minutes. Then he said give me a minute to never return. Got a follow up appointment delivered by the admin and that’s itOther than that, practice itself was nice and all people interacted in a professional manner

Dr. Whitehead always spends enough time to not only explain a diagnosis but always fields your questions. I never feel rushed and he always makes you feel that you are heard as a patient.
