Dr. Whittier is AMAZING! She listens attentively and shows interest in the state of my total health situation, not just those related to her specialty area. I take all questions to her because I know that she will either provide an answer or a resource. Doesn't get better than this!

Dr. Whittier said she ordered my labs four or five days before my appointment. However, the order was not entered into the system until the morning of my appointment, apparently after my appointment had begun. She wanted my labs done immediately. That deprived me of the opportunity to make a lab appointment. Without an appointment I had to wait over an hour. My wife was in the hospital, and I needed to be with her. Waiting to have blood drawn for lab work that I didn't know anything about until my appointment with Dr. Whittier caused me to be over an hour later getting to the hospital to be with my wife than necessary. I am very disappointed in that experience.
