In an age where the practice of medicine can resemble an assembly line, Dr. Whitesell displays a rare concern for the person that he is treating. My wife suffers from a sleep disorder and has been frustrated by previous physicians who quickly recommended drugs or surgery. Dr. Whitesell's willingness to listen to her, and his conscientious follow up, have been exemplary.Highly recommended.

I see him for a sleep disorder. I went everywhere before him, and everyone thought I was making my symptoms up! I finally got a real diagnosis from him, which is such a relief!
