Jack Whitaker's Online Review Report Card

I have a long history of heart problems. I had open heart surgery in California 10 years before meeting Dr. Whittaker. I went to him on a regular basis for tests and council over the next three or four years. He advised me to reduce triglyceride with Omega 3 capsules which has been very successful. He advised me against getting an unneeded operation by prescribing an over the counter medication to control gastric reflux problems. In 2008 I needed a stent to reopen the artery that was bypassed in 1995. He performed the tricky operation with total success. I have nothing but positive comments about Dr. Whittaker and had he not moved his practice out of my city, I would still be seeing him.

I have been a patient since 2007. There's no one I trust more than Dr. Whitaker. I had to have emergency surgery for blocked arteries (CABGx3). I'm so glad he was the one who did my after care. He takes time to actually listen to what I have to say. He took the time to answer the questions my family had. Explained what was happening with my heart in terminology they understood and has placed stents when needed. I would highly recommend Dr. Whitaker.

On my 3rd visit I'm told I have a torn tricep muscle. I said, "good, now we know what the problem is, what's the heal time"? He chuckled, and said,"10 years". Mind you this was absolutely devastating to me, (tears bad), and he laughs. Meanwhile in his bio he says he loves challenges, and helping people get back to doing what they love, but there's nothing he can do for me to help me get back to my LIFE. My life revolves excercise. It's my medicine, so I called a more renowned orthopoedic, and they requested his notes. I go sign the release, and give them the fax #. Almost 2 weeks later, and they haven't been sent. Mind you all the while I'm getting the news that my life is over at 37 years I'm not rude at all with anyone. Not even with him when he laughed at the fact that my life for the last 23 of my 37 years on this earth is over. After all its not their fault, but as Dr's that have given an oath to helping people they should show compassion, and send my notes to my new dr

Dr Whitaker and Dr josh and the staff are all great ....they care about there patience.

have found it very difficult to receive information about results of testing procedures and ongoing surveillance. I need/want a physician who will communicate with me.
