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.

I was referred to Dr. Whitcomb by my endodonist. Long drive for me but worth it. Dr whitcomb was very thorough and explained what he found and the best course of treatment. I couldn’t be more pleased

Not caring, does not know what is going on with his patients. Put my life at risk, wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy. Stay away.

Dr. Whitcomb is a good listener and is very thorough. It is very easy to make an appointment one or two days out. Wait times in the office are very short. His receptionist is very efficient and friendly.

My MRI found an abnormality at the back of the base of my skull - the very top of the spine. It is possibly a tumor that has ZERO symptoms, is very slow growing, and best treated while still very small. It is only found thru MRI or CT when a patient is being scanned for other problems. Dr. Whitcomb palpated the front of my neck about an inch below my jaw and said, it is just a jumble of veins. He referred me to a vascular surgeon. He claimed that nothing should be done unless it gets big
