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.

He is knowledgeable, amazing, and he listens!

Dr. Lawrence Whitney has helped me in the removal of clots in my venous system many many times. He has an excellent bedside manner and has always explained the procedures that he was going to do. Thank you kindly Dr. Whitney for all you have done and I am sure continue to do .

This doctor is excellent. The nurse is great. The staff is good overall, except for one lady who is sketchy. She has been very disrespectful and trying to block me from getting care with other doctors. She dropped me for not "following the doctor's plan." That is not correct. I was asking to temporarily postpone my appointments until I could be accommodated according to my medical needs. I have medical exemptions. I can prove them. She said "no you don't." Telling patients they have to cover in a most unscientific and virtually useless way regardless of exemption won't turn out well. Not good for our health and care. Not good for their employees. Not good for societal relations or this economy. All based on suggestions and not law. Right now this lady is giving me hell! Why? Not for legal action or harassment or slander or any cross word to them. Only, ONLY, because I said I cannot wear anything on my head or over my God-given face. I medically am unable to cover my face!

My mom had the best care by Dr. Whitney and his team on the 21st of February when he did a Kyphoplasti procedure. He was kind, gentle, caring and yes, even loving. Could not thank him or hug him enough. His team is also amazing... all of them at the Surgical Center of Central Florida in Lakeland. Thank you Dr. Whitney, the Ashchi family loves you and is grateful to you.

10/22/18 met Dr after I was admitted to Winter Haven hospital, he’s an interventional radiologists there. I was admitted due to severe pain from an IVC filter that was implanted in 93 & because all of the filter’s legs were poking through the vena cava where it was implanted. He never removed a permanent filter as old as mine yet I immediately felt comfortable once I realized he had inserted & removed100s filters as well as older ones. He’s very knowledgeable, had absolutely no complications
