Dr. Whipple is more than a brilliant surgeon; he is an artist. I have had carpal tunnel surgery on each hand and two trigger fingers on my right hand and don't have a scar to prove it. Plus, my hands are much better!

Receptionist very rude and untruthful to nurses. Makes stories up about patients causing delays in treatment. Very unprofessional and rude. Maybe she was having a bad day but if you want to be treated with respect I would suggest another doctors office.

Thorough and thoughtful. He clearly has a strong technical background but I also felt like he cared.

Dr. Whipple is an exceptional doctor. He is very knowledgeable and humanistic. His entire staff (especially his assistant CeCe) are very caring and efficient. Once you place your case in Dr. Whipple's hands, you can feel assured that you will soon be on the road to recovery. He truly loves his profession and is a proficient leader/innovator in the area of hand surgery.

Dr. Whipple is a wonderful physician who is very personable, thorough and kind. He listens and explains the problem and course of recommended treatment. All physicians should take lessons from this man. His nurse is also very pleasant and attentive. They make a great team!

Had thumb repair (Ulnar Collateral). I was reluctant to fix my thumb and left it for a couple years. Dr. Whipple inspired so much confidence that I went for it. Everything was very smooth and my recovery/end results surpassed my expectation. Highly recommend Dr. Whipple. Very pleasant fellow as well.
