I am a retired Cobb County School District science teacher who has been visiting Dr. Whitcomb every six months for many years. Because of my inquisitive nature and being proactive regarding my health, I always have several questions for the doctor. I have always found him to be very responsive, detailed, and caring. In addition, his receptionist is extremely efficient and courteous. RGH. Marietta, GA.

Not caring, does not know what is going on with his patients. Put my life at risk, wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy. Stay away.

The receptionist literally made me feel awful as I explained my situation and told me that I could not self pay. They should learn how to speak to people especially those in a medical crisis. Very unconcerned staff.

My MRI showed a mass which involves the jugular vein at the point where the vein leaves the skull in the back of the head at the very top of the spine. It is suspected to be a slow growing tumor. These are best taken out when very small. These have ZERO symptoms. They are ONLY found thru scans done for other reasons. Dr Whitcomb palpated the FRONT of my neck about an inch or two below my jaw and claimed it is a jumble of blood vessels. He announced, â??Nothing should be done unless it gets bigger.â?? He then referred me to a vascular surgeon. He also tested my neurological functions. And proclaimed me healthy for a 48 year old. I am well beyond 48 years of age.

This doctor's bedside manner is awful. I had several questions about the problems I am having and he was not interested in answering them. He told me I looked fine but wanted me to undergo some testing?I had more questions and then he said we can wait on the testing. I will find a different doctor.

The wait time in the office was only 5 min. His staff is very friendly and seem to really care. He spent time with me and explained everything. He even call me at home personally when I had a problem with a medication.
