Best judgement and assessment skills
Personal experience as follows: Does not listen, diagnose or communicate well. Typical wait in exam room greater than 45 minutes. Comes in with pre-conceived notions and orders irrelevant tests. Never does any type of physical examination, will NOT touch patient other then basic heartrate and respiratory check. She will NOT tolerate being questioned, doing so will typically result in an aggressive personality transformation. Orders tests without pre-informing patient and then makes incorrect diagnosis because of lack of pati... read more
She went through my medication list to verify their needs, she went over previous test results. She order new tests to fill in blanks. Awesome Doctor.

She is not a thorough doc. Appointments are very quick, max 15 minutes. Dr. Whitaker delegates almost everything to a physician assist or nurse after first visit so she does not really know you at all.The bigger concern is she never has notes on her or takes notes and doesn't check your medical history with charts up.

I had a new patient visit but strangely, none of it included normal physical examination like abdomen, eye and ear check etc. Did not discuss family history. Did not request any records - did not look at health history. Did not check vaccine status to make sure I'm up to date. For all the reviews claiming she was thorough I was shocked to have the least thorough exam of my life! Not to mention no regard for encouraging other health behaviors like visit dermatologist, dentist, etc. Worst of all she was just very condescending... read more
I think Dr. W. is very knowledgable but was not interested in listening during my appointment of after the appointment when I raised a concern. She coded my visit incorrectly causing me to pay a great deal. She would not even listen to why I felt the coding was wrong just refused to make any changes. Her office also made an error making my appointment which also cost me money. She lost my trust so I will not be back.

Dr. Whitaker is the most thorough, and seeming most knowledgeable, practioner I have ever encountered. I feel blessed to have located her and have been added as a patient. I truly believe she may have saved me from stroking out and/or having a heart attack. i have discovered She has developed a superior reputation within the ancillary services community.
