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.

Dr. Whitfield went above and beyond for me. I live a little over a hour from Denison. He performed a unscheduled biopsy on me at 4:45 pm since I lived that far away. He made one call to imaging and they also agreed to stay and help out. Dr. Whitfield and his staff are awesome, he is a very caring doctor. Excellent news, no cancer!

Never got an appointment. Was informed (very politely) that he does NOT accept self-pay. I found that laughable actually. You'll take my insurance but not my cash... what's up with that? With that policy I will NOT recommend him to family and friends with insurance. It would be much appreciated to indicate that you do NOT accept self pay on your website. Even when I have insurance, he will not be one I will consider,

I have used Dr. Whitfield for about 30 years. He treated my dad as well. Very caring and compassionate! Excellent care received for both of us.

I was referred by Dr. Tegala after having a sonogram on my thyroid area and there were 2 nodules found. I had thyroid cancer in 2012 and had my thyroid removed. When something like this occurs you hope that you are referred to a specialist that understands your concern or fear, someone patient and caring with a good bedside manner. My experience with your office was with Meagan in scheduling. I spoke with her a few times and she was very rude and uncaring therefore I have chosen another doctor.
