As always the staff and Dr. Whipple are professional, caring and truly concerned with your health and wellness. I've never had a primary Dr. that spends as much time as Dr. Whipple, researching my conditions as offering outstanding diagnostics and treatment plans to keep me trucking on..!! Wait times are always minimal!!

Other than a few minute wait in the exam room...I was in there in 3 minutes..!! Dr. Whipple is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. He's thorough, attentive and spends whatever time necessary with you to make sure you understand EVERYTHING that is going on. I've finally found a new primary care Dr. that I LIKE!!!....or LOVE!!! For those who say the wait times are long...believe me he is worth every minute of it!!

I booked appointment with Dr. Whipple for 10.30 AM and got a few confirmations for this time but my actual appointment was at 11 AM, I find out after waiting about an hour, not sure how it happened, front desk receptionist told me. Its inconvinient, I hope it wont happen in the future.Other than that I dont have any complains, Dr. Whipple is very nice and professional, he takes his time and very patient.
It was a good experience
Wait time was entirely too long. For having waited sooo long, I expected more time w Whipple. Nothing extraordinary about this office.
Verified patient
Wait was long but services were excellent. Hopefully it was just a busy day. Dr and staff were knowledgeable, through, professional and caring.

Only my first visit but I think I may have found my new primary care physician ...! He was very attentive and took time to explain what tests he was ordering, why he was ordering them and his plan of action with my high blood pressure ... Seeing him again in two weeks ... Hope this wasn't a fluke :)
Verified patient
Doctor and Staff not ready to take care of me. Said it was my fault if my insurance wouldn't cover it and had no knowledge of insurance.....sad.
Very nice doctor. He made sure I had time to tell him everything I wanted to discuss and was very kind. I'm happy I found him!

Robert Whipple was great! He seemed very kind and was very helpful. It was so nice to have a doctor that we could understand and that could understand us! He gave my husband some meds to help him and gave him a referral that he needed to see a specalist. We were very happy to have found him!
He was very nice and staff was sweet as well. The facility was clean and Dr Whipple covered all my issues and took everything I said seriously.
