Although she is a good doctor we will not go to her again because she is always way behind her schedule. Today I walked out after almost 2 hours and still had not seen her. We'll use the P A and try other doctors in the group. It is not possible to have any other plans within 2 or 3 hours after an appointment her because you might not be out of her office. Guess she is still on military time, hurry up and wait.

Whitaker does not listen to what you try to say, in fact, she embarrassed me by walking down the hall screaming my name and trying to tell me I had a condition which I did not have: that sure broke the trust between she and I! (I had proof concerning the mistake she made but she didn't want to hear it.)
Dr Whitaker is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable practitioner. She takes a very scientific approach based on hard evidence. If you want the best, go see her! She is very direct and all business!

Thank you; we appreciate your feedback! -Ascension Sacred Heart Community Manager
I saw her today and she order tests for so many things said I’m severely anemic (I donate blood every 6 weeks & they check that) diabetes (normal weight no signs), hepatitis C, endoscopy bc I could be bleeding in my esophagus causing the severe anemia. I have a very loud heart murmur (I know I have a heart murmur, tested not to worry about) I need to go to a cardiologist and pulmonologist bc of this. She said I have good insurance, she checked. I have middle of the road from the marketplace. I don’t need unnecessary tests. B... read more
Worst doctor I've ever had. Is very arrogant, condescending, and rude. If you dare to question her diagnosis or judgment she becomes argumentative. Quick to run a thousand costly tests and put you on all kinds of medications instead of listening to you amd working with you to arrive at a diagnosis and determine a root cause. If you're someone who is pro active with your health and thinks for yourself she's definitely not the right doctor for you. If you're elderly, on Medicare, believe everything your doctor tells you and wa... read more
I used to be a pt of Dr. Whitaker's & I did get frustrated w/ her at times; however I have a new appreciation for her as she diagnosed me w/ having Alpha-1 in Sept. 2020. She also suspected I had Lupus. Alpha-1 is considered a rare genetic condition that almost every doctor I've met since then has no idea about. Dr. Whitaker had planned on starting me on Augmentation Therapy ASAP due to my labs & symptoms. I moved back to CA the month after my diagnosis (11/2020). I have not had any doctor understand Alpha-1, let alone the s... read more
HORRID!
Dr Whitaker is the most thorough and conscientious doctor I have ever been to. I am so thankful I am her patient and she is my doctor!
I agree Dr Whitaker is bright; however her follow up does not exist. For a quick visit to treat an issue, you see her assistant and pay a doctors price. I’ve been given a shot by her assistant which I was later told by a specialist for pain that was detrimental to my health. I’ve read reviews by retired nurses and others who say she is the best they have had, sorry for them. In two countries and three states, I have always been able to see my PCP when in pain (which is seldom), Dr Whitaker could care less. And most disturbin... read more
