Dr. Richard M Whittington, DDS

Dr. Whittington and his staff provide excellent care. Appointments are on time.

My daughter had been seeing Dr. Whittington for several years without his spotting any cavities. When we took her to two other dentists for a second opinion, they both identified numerous cavities, several of which were quite significant. Dr. W. did not use digital x-rays (this may have since changed), but he ought to have discovered those cavities anyhow.

Dr. Whittington thinks his job is to refer his patients to other doctors/dentists rather than caring for them himself. He is an interventionist that recommends work that doesn't need to be done. We went to him after we moved to the area and suddenly the whole family had 'issues' we had not had before. He recommends the removal of wisdom teeth that are not impacted because they might cause a problem 20 years down the line. When you don't follow his advice he describes his 'care' as 'supervised neglect'. A terrible dentist, we will be finding another.
