I have been a patient of Dr. Whitaker for over 8 years.  He cared for my Mom during her time with us and I can assure you that the care given both of us has always been with compassion, understanding and with a sharing of knowledge to facilitate our care beyond the office visits.  This man exceeds my expectations with every visit and is well worth "waiting" for.  As busy as he is he will always take whatever time is required to assure his patients get the care they need.  Stay healthy Doc.
