Dr. Whitehead is amazing and always takes such care to hear all of our concerns and makes us feel like we have all the time and he is always open for any questions. He is fantastic with my son and is so gentle and has a lot of patience.

Dr. Whitehead was an amazing Dr. He took the time to make my child feel comfortable and didn't just rush into an exam. My child usually cries when any medical professional goes near her for the fact of being scared but didn't cry once with him. He made her feel as comfortable as possible before checking her head circumference. He took the time to listen to us and answer any questions we had without us feeling rushed and like he needed to get to another patient. He made it clear that we are the parents and we have say in what happens with our child and he's just there to suggest what steps we should take not force us to take them if we don't want to. He was very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing to be seen by genetics.

Dr. Whitehead was wonderful. He was so patient and answered all of my questions so thoroughly. He clearly explained his reasoning. He was so wonderful- especially after having spent years being "dismissed" it as nice to feel heard. Even if we don't get answers I feel like Dr. Whitehead was very thorough. Just wonderful.

Dr. Whitehead was great. Personable, friendly, and whitty. He was very smart and explained everything to my child and myself in words we could understand. He was considerate of all of our concerns. I will and I already have recommended this service.

I never had a provider like Dr. Whitehead. He demonstrates compassion, expertise, patience and details. He carefully went through [...] history and provided me with explanations and treatment plans. I never had a doctor spend over hour one with us. He never seemed in a rush and I know we were his last patient on a Friday, and some people would want to go home, but not him, he was thorough and made sure we felt comfortable leaving with all our questions answered. He is a true asset to the CCMC, and I am so happy he joined the team. Go Dr. Whitehead!
