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.

Hi, I just want to say that the rheumatology clinic there with the staff and the doctor, Whittier, are absolutely top-notch professionals. I have always been treated with the utmost of respect and courtesy, and I enjoy going there, visiting with them, and listening very intently and discussing my condition with them. I really appreciate their being there. I just wanted to leave that message. Thank you.

First of all, on the first question, I should have answered four because I trust Dr. Whittier with everything, I guess with my life. And she and her staff are professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I could not have a better doctor. And I appreciate her and her staff so much. She is top tier and a 10 in my book overall.

The appointments seemed to be overbooked. The wait time is longer than the appointment with the doctor. I arrive 15 minutes early and the doctor is always at least 30 minutes late every time I see the doctor.
