“One of the most caring, empathetic, knowledgeable, and truly helpful healthcare providers I've ever met. I was nervous going in because of having bad experiences in the past, but she is such a good listener and took extra time to understand my history and symptoms. It felt like we were working together on a plan that would feel right for me, and I feel so much less anxiety about tackling what's next.”

I made an appointment with Whitney Stannard, PA-C. In a nutshell, she was amazing. She listened to all of my medical concerns, she memorialized our session in a report and followed up on important questions that were posed to her. I was asked if Whitney could be my PCP and I whole heartedly replied YES! We have a game plan and I feel confident that she is at the helm of my medical voyage!

Great listener, non-dismissive and overall caring. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a doctor that will listen and help you solve your problems.

At the appointment the doctor said she would send me a prescription. I asked her multiple times, directly, “so the next step is you’ll send in this prescription and I’ll go pick it up,” and she said yes. When I went to the pharmacy, they said they had not gotten anything called in for me. I had to call and text the doctor’s office. Then someone called me back, but they couldn’t actually help me and put me on hold for a while. When I finally got through to the office, they had strange excuses and incorrect explanations that had nothing to do with what I had discussed with the doctor. I did not appreciate how I was treated or spoken to at this practice.

She is great! She made sure I was aware of every step she was taking and eased any concerns I had. One of the easier appointments I've ever had, I've never felt so comfortable in a doctors office!
February 11, 2026Hana W.Verified patient
Whitney was fantastic. She had great bedside manner and genuinely seemed to care about me as a person, not just a patient, even though of course we had just met. I was seeking relief from months-long, persistent sinus issues. She listened carefully to all of my concerns and was able to not just recommend a medication to stymie my symptoms, but a course of action to hopefully stop the problems at the root and keep them from re-occurring. Thank you so much!
January 30, 2026Elizabeth O.Verified patient
My experience overall was good. They took me in right away and my time with the nurse practitioner didn’t feel rushed. Whitney was very tentative and understanding.

The staff from the beginning was really nice and friendly. I was seen as soon as I checked in. The MA was very friendly and competent. The provider was friendly made me feel very comfortable through out my visit. Did not feel rushed at all. All my questions were answered. I really enjoyed my visit.
Less than 6 months agoJanitzi S.Verified patient
I saw Whitey Standard, PA who was excellent!! I saw she had high reviews, and I was not disappointed when I went to see her! She addressed all my concerns and was very knowledgeable on my issues I brought up. She also brought up good ideas to check on after she reviewed my family health history. I hadn't had a physical in many yrs due to I never found a doctor that I liked after mine retired. I can't say how happy I was driving home, now that I have found someone that I actually felt comfortable with and respected.
I am very happy!!
