He really thought he could get away with doing that to his patients. He should go to prison for along time.

I was a patient of his for a long time. I never once thought in my wildest dreams he would do something like that to his patients. He should go to prison and pay a hefty fine as that is what he deserves.

I’ve been seeing Dr Whalens and his Exton office for several years now. He has always helped me with my arthritis and I will miss him no longer being my doctor.

Dr. Whalen's care has been a vital part of my life for many years now. Because of him I can carry on with a "normal" life. His care has allowed me to have a family and work, all of which I sincerely doubt would have been possible with the amount of pain I'm in without his care.
