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.

The Best
I have been a patient of Dr. Whittaker for over 20 years. He is kind, compassionate, he listens, and definitely cares a great deal about his patients and their well being. I moved out of Pocomoke. I still travel 45 minutes away just to keep him as my doctor. I would not trust any other doctor but him.

Dr. Whittaker has always been an excellent doctor, very caring, with a great bedside manner, he sends you to where ever else you need to go and don't send you to unnecessary places just to help out other doctors, some do, he also makes sure you have the the prescriptions with the most reasonable prices, he has been my doctor for what seems like forever and now seems like he disappeared without any explanation, where ever he is I wish him and his wife and his practice the best .

Dr. Whittaker is the best doctor! He cares about his patients and wants to help them all. You may have to wait an hour to see him. But you'll get the same attention when he comes in to see you!

I have been seeing Dr. Whittaker since he came to Pocomoke . He takes the time to review your chart and asks questions concerning how you are. None of this rush, rush, rush like so many today. He really wants to know any concerns you are having. He takes the time necessary for each and everyone of his patients. I wish we could clone him.

A very bad experience. His wife that runs the nurses, office help, front window & Dr. Whittaker. She is the problem. (She does not tell the truth so be careful) & been known to create drama even the nurses and office help would complain to the patients. Really the star is for doctor Whittaker, Shes a mess.

Dr. Whittaker has been my Dr for over 13 yrs. And because of a botched surgery before I was his patient it has caused several health issues that constant testing and seeing specialist are necessary. Dr. Whittaker takes his time explaining everything to me and never rushed making sure all questions are answered and I feel like I am the only patient he is worried about. I may have to wait but I know I am being seen by a caring human not a Dr that had you in and out blindsiding you with a big bill!
