Judith Whitcomb's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Whitcomb is the best. She takes the time and effort to make you feel comfortable. She follows through with your treatment as long as needed and has been following me for 20 years now. She will be greatly missed when she retires.

I was a patient of Dr. Whitcomb's in 1990. After what started as a routine breast lump removal, she had to break the news that I had cancer. Within days, she arranged for my mastectomy, and chemo follow-up. No easy task as I was moving (3 weeks after surgery), and would need weekly chemo and surgical follow-up starting in Anchorage, then Cleveland, then Boston. Her compassion, skill as a surgeon, and willingness to go above and beyond got me through a very difficult dark period. Plain and simple-she saved my life! Good news is I'm still cancer free 31 years later!

Dr Whitcomb is compassionate and caring takes all the time you need to ensure a clear understanding of procedure and makes you feel completely at ease!

I have been seeing Dr. Whitcomb since the 80’s. She is very professional and takes the time to examine you and explain everything to you in language you can understand. She is very friendly and always smiling with a bubbly personality.

After a positive biopsy I was referred to Dr. Whitecomb. I cannot express how much I appreciate the time she took to explain fully and how she handled everything from pre to post op to make sure I had the best care. She is one of those rare doctors who are superior in their medical knowledge and have still kept their heart for the patients.

A thorough, concise, professional visit and friendly staff.

I called to make a new patient appointment for followup care after Breast Cancer (we just moved mother up after treatment). Doctor was highly recommended. I spoke to Jennie and it was like I was putting her out. Was very rude and told me to have records sent from Oregon Doctor I let her know we had all the records. I was told they needed to be sent directly to office. I asked after they received them would I be notified. Was told no I would have to keep calling and then it would be decided if she would be seen or not. There was no help with information and absolutely no compassion. I am sure the Doctor is as good as I was told. My recommendation came from a Pathologist at Providence. Shame that your first point of contact was this. I hung up and thought about how the call went and decided my family deserves better treatment. Proceeded to call Dr. Sandford and wow a wonderful experience. Made me an appointment asked for records to be dropped off and a release signed just in case they needed additional information. Was told Doctor would review all records before appointment. First impressions are huge especially when you need a professional to take care of a loved one who has gone thru treatment not once but twice and has been uprooted and moved to Alaska so that family can take care of them.
