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. Whitaker, Jr. gave excellent patient service by providing a thorough eye exam during my appointment time. He shared explanations and used the latest tools and technologies in his office to assist with determining the best opinion and diagnosis. He made me feel safe and reduced my anxiety by his soft spoken kind demeanor and wealth of knowledge that was shared.

Dr. Whitaker & staff were very nice. That's the end of the good part. I, along with all his other waiting patients, was sent from waiting room to exam room, to waiting room, back to exam room #1, then to exam room #2, back to the waiting room again. 2 hours later, I still hadn't seen the doctor long enough for him to finish my exam and fit me for the contacts that I went for. Go if you have 2 - 4 hours to kill and only if you can get in/out of chairs easily. Not for ppl w/mobility issues.

I am a transplant from upstate NY. I have had glaucoma since the age of 29 and have had wonderful care from specialists in NY. However, I did a lot of research before finding Dr Whitaker. He is very professional and listens and explains well. I am feeling very comfortable that I am getting the best care in this office. I definitely would refer anyone I talk to.

Dr. Whitaker is an amazing Ophthalmologist! He is very thorough and ensures I get the best attention and treatment for my condition. I have open angle glaucoma as well as cataracts. He just performed cataract removal on one eye. Believe me, he is the absolute BEST.
