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.

Surgery.
The Doctor has done a couple of surgery's in my family including myself. This man is a scientist at what he does. He was recommended to me by multiple people and close friends of mine. I feel pretty blessed and honored to have hooked up with Doctor whitehead and his wonderful staff, Laurie his receptionist in particular. What a wonderful man and a amazing surgeon. In my opinion he's the very best out there. God bless you and your family Doctor for all the lives you save and all you people you help. Ditto to you too Laurie. I give Doctor whitehead 50 stars! Thank you Doctor!

Never have I been treated so disrespectfully. He checked me out and told me to go back to a surgeon I had seen 19 years earlier for something entirely different. He made me feel like I was not worth his time.
