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.

Wonderful Practice
Always a pleasurable experience when I visit this office. The staff is wonderful from the time you walk in until the time your visit is over. Dr. Whelihan is a smart, fun and down to earth doctor whom always goes above and beyond. The office is spacious, clean and very well decorated. I'm very grateful to be a patient of this practice.

Dr. Whelihan was amazing. She told me more today than anyone told me in all the years of treating with any other physicians. From the time you are greeted by her staff from the time you leave you feel a sense of relief. I would definitely recommend her!!!

Learning from Dr. Whelihan
Dr. Whelihan was comprehensive in her knowledge about my body and issues I wanted to address. She is frank and explicit, even showing what should be done.I trust her judgement and will follow her directives.

Not as expected anymore
Failed to diagnose my daughter's fibroid problem which caused her to have surgery to remove a fibroid which grew rapidly and Dr. Whelihan was unable to treat, recognize and diagnose. My daughter is still having problems which, if Dr. Whelihan, had treated the fibroid in time, would have been a lot less problematic and painful. I had recommended Dr. Whelihan to my daughter and I feel horrible that I did. Would never go back and will never recommend her again.

Does not listen; condescending
Talks more than she listens. Prescribed medicine without knowing all symptoms. Was profoundly condescending. Women come for help due to hormone imbalance; her bedside manner is not for someone experiencing emotional distress from hormone imbalance. Further, her staff started knocking on the door every few minutes to move her along after I was in there only 10-15 minutes. And, I was an new patient and she didn't want my records. First OBGYN who has ever behaved this this. Weird doctor. Weird practice.

Dr. Whelihan
I am a new patient to Dr. Whelihan. My visit was comprehensive. She spent a lot of time reviewing my past and explaining in detail her findings, the treatment plan and expectations. I am an RN with a lot of medical knowledge and walked out of my appointment feeling extremely comfortable with her findings and explanations. She spent a lot of time with me, and at no time did I feel rushed. I highly recommend her to all!

Questionable business practices
I just returned home from this medical facility after walking out of my appointment. I knew it wasn't a good sign when I walked into the reception area and within 2 minutes, the 'lady' at the front desk turned her back and walked away from an older patient and said 'God I love this place' in a very snarky tone. After I signed in and waited a few minutes, the same snarky 'lady' called my name and demanded my ID, insurance card, and a credit or debit card. I was obviously taken aback by the demand for a credit or debit card and asked why she requested those. She stated it was the doctor's policy to keep a credit or debit card number on file for unpaid charges. I immediately said no and left. After reading some of the more recent 1-star reviews, I'm so glad I left without giving that horrible creature at the reception desk my card. Sounds like this place is in the business of making fraudulent charges.

Staff was very accommodating. Dr. Whelihan creates such a comfortable environment, sounds very knowledgeable, and is very patient centric. She takes the time to educate her patients and addresses all concerns. A very positive experience for an uncomfortable examination (may I add with period on ?).

Great experience all around
Dr. Whelihan was delightful and incredibly knowledgeable. Dr. Whelihan took so much time to speak with me as a patient and had everything explained in a way that put me at ease. I was given multiple scenarios and agency over my health with all of the facts and costs being presented. I am so happy I found her!

After years with my previous doctor, I had to change Gynecologist because the office closed. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Whelihan . She took her time answering my questions and was so very knowledgeable and pleasant. I’m so very happy that she is now my doctor.

Thank you! Awesome Doctor and Staff!
Thank you Elite Gyn of the Palm Beaches! Same day appointment! Dee was an absolute sweetheart over the phone and even sweeter in person. Dr. Whelihan and her student had awesome bedside manner answered all my questions, and took her time. I feel so much better and relieved under her care and she has earned a patient for life. I have already recommended her and her helpful staff to all my friends. The unknown can be very scary so it's important to have a doctor you feel comfortable with and that is completely competent especially in todays world.
