Dr. Lawrence Rhea Whicker, MD

Worst office ever!!! You cant even get a appointment. I have been calling since Nov 1 and the call center/front desk has been giving me the run around, asking for more and more information every time I call. I asked to speak to a operator and was dismissed and asked to leave the operator a message. I called back again and no one answered.

Doctor Whicker Is a truly outstanding physician! He always takes the time to thoroughly answer all of your questions and consistently displays concern for all of your needs. I have strongly recommended this compassionate doctor to all of my friends and neighbors.

I've had several appointments with Dr. Whicker and his staff. Most have been okay, but today's appointment was very disappointing. There was an issue with my insurance regarding whether or not I needed to pay a copay. No one informed me that I wouldn't be able to see the doctor until this was resolved. Had I known that, I would have just made the payment and sought reimbursement later. Instead they had me wait 30 minutes before telling me I should call my insurance company, which took another 20 minutes (the error was on my insurance company's end). Once I asked if this was stopping me from seeing the doctor and they said yes, I said I would pay and asked how I would be reimbursed if my insurance company confirmed that I don't have the copay. The front desk worker seemed uninterested in helping me as he never looked at me and gave curt responses. He said he would have to see if the doctor was even still available to see me (so yes, after I had waited an hour, there was the possibility… I couldn't even see the doctor. Fortunately, the doctor was still available). Overall, I understand that the copay issue was not their fault. What prompted me to provide such a low score was the complete lack of empathy or consideration from the staff. There are several ways this could have been resolved that didn't require me to wait an extra hour. And fortunately I was off today, so the rest of my day was not impacted. I would discourage anyone from choosing this office for your neurological care. It's important to have doctors and offices that care about their patients, but even more so when that office specializes in neurology. Going to the doctor is stressful enough, but when the issue is impacting your brain, that stress is enhanced. You should have a team that's on your side and supporting you throughout the process. I made sure to ask Dr. Whicker if he were aware that his staff made me wait an hour over a copay issue, and he confirmed that he was aware, which tells me that he was no more compassionate than his staff. That is not the kind of person I want overseeing the care of my brain. I would strongly suggest choosing a different neurologist.

I have been going to Dr. Whicker forfor decades. I suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome and was about to give up until I was referred to him and with his patience and expertise he found the correct medications to calm my RLS and allow me a good nights sleep. He has a good “bedside” manner and seems thorough and learned.

Dr Whicker is very knowledgeable and takes his time with his patients. The techs and staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable.
