Dr Whitley noticed my eyes and face in the hallway, as I passed him to go into the exam room. They reflected the '100 year old dust' unleashed in my home by the contractor. I appreciated that he was on top of it just by the initial glance!

Dr Whitley is a seasoned pro. During the "interview", he reviewed my case history, with me, constantly comparing my first visits & treatments with what I'm experiencing now.

I felt very comfortable with the Provider, and he seems to care about his patient. My experience was very good.
