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.

Frustrating
I regret to say that my experience with Dr. Whitton was extremely frustrating. From the beginning, I felt like the doctor lacked genuine concern for my well-being and my pregnancy. At every appointment, I felt rushed, with barely any time for me to ask questions or address my concerns. Dr. Whitton often seemed distracted, and I never felt like I was getting the personalized care I was hoping for.

Don’t do it
Doc Whitton tried to bully my wife give birth at 25 weeks. We went to another provider where my wife is still pregnant and happy weeks later. She also told my wife that “white boys don’t do well in the NICU.”

Provider was knowledgeable, but also seemed annoyed with my questions about a new diagnosis. I walked out more confused than confident with an action plan.

I had a specific medical condition which demanded attention. Dr. Whitton has seen me twice, recommended treatment, followed up, and my condition has improved. I will continue to see her in the future.
