Dr. Whitham was fantastic and addressed all areas of my daughter's life in regards to her current situation rather than focusing just on the problem. She is an amazing doctor and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

The ultrasound tech. She has put extra effort into making the ultrasound experience a positive one. Her extra effort in decor, lighting, and educational music set our family up for success.

07/08/2023

Medical assistant or nurse practitioner was extremely nice and patient and tried to get [NAME] engage in the process and helped her not be scared. She did it with such an ease and friendliness that I was grateful [NAME] didn’t even feel anxious about all the probes and measurements, which is important for getting an actual ekg baseline.
