I love Dr. Whitaker and his staff. They are warm and welcoming. I brought my brother who suffers from Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's into them as a new patient. They were very gentle, patient, and kind throughout his visit. Dr. Whitaker did a great job working with him and I know my brother got the best dental care. I will not go anywhere else and highly recommend this practice.

Saw Dr Whitaker for an extraction 2 weeks prior. Dr Whitaker made me feel less afraid,{l fear the pain}, about having the procedure. Follow up was also great. Looking forward to having the necessary work needed done vs that feeling of dread l used to have. Thank You Dr Whitaker for a better experience!
