Dr. Whitehead was amazing answering our questions even with my daughter's constant interruptions which he handled very patiently and gave her the attention and genuine interactions she never gets from other doctors. I'm highly recommending him to friends and family.

Extremely personable and attentive to [...]'s individual needs. He asked JoJo where he would feel most comfortable so he could listen to the heart and lungs. [...] chose to sit on the floor with his magnetic tiles. He also took time to answer unrelated questions that JoJo had. This care goes a long way in making him feel at ease with strangers and in an office setting.
