"Terry" says: “I am very impressed with Dr Whittingslow’s approach for Suboxone/Subutex treatment. He is very attentive; spending about two hours with me in our first visit and approximately an hour every follow-up appointment. I have never felt rushed to get out of his office so he can see his next
patient. I think he offers a great balance of allowing patients the autonomy
to ultimately make their own treatment plan while still offering the gentle but
informative guidance that we, as recovering addicts, all need from such an
informed and experienced doctor. I have never been treated with anything
other than respect and compassion by Dr Whittingslow and Mindy, unlike
some of my past experience with other doctors. He has also made every
effort to alleviate some of the financial pressures of paying for
prescriptions, since I have no insurance or pharmacy coverage; this has
saved me upwards of $100 per month in prescription cost. Dr Whittingslow
has encouraged me to ween myself off at the pace at which I feel most
comfortable. When he found out how fast I have successfully been
reducing my dosage over the past year or two, he congratulated me and
encouraged me to continue towards my goal of completely getting off the
Suboxone. EVERY other doctor I have seen over the past couple of years
has had the opposite reaction; telling me instead to slow down or to even
suggest that I not even worry about getting off Suboxone totally (which
seems to me an obvious effort to keep me coming back to them). In all his
actions, Dr Whittingslow has proven to me that he has high ethical and
practical standards for himself; I am very impressed with all that he has to
offer as an opiate treatment doctor and I highly encourage other recovering addicts to call and schedule an appointment today!”
“Blake” says: "I was so glad you emailed me and asked for some feedback
on how Dr W's ' treatment plan ' works for ' me ' as a patient. No doubt its
been a ongoing battle for me to find the ' right ' treatment and right Dr. that
I can stick with and feel comfortable. From the beginning you and him both
have been amazing. You both were and are extremely professional , you
worked me in immediately and after my first visit I knew I had finally found
the correct Dr that would not only treat my needs as a patient but also as a
person in general. Being able to depend on your staff to be confidential but
also very caring is a huge relief. I'm VERY impressed and VERY thankful
Ive found a Dr that wants more then just receive a paycheck!! Cheers!
EVER so generous adjustment in my bill that Dr. W and yourself took the
time to look over and make changes to as well!! ( I'm continued to be
impressed with the both of you ! ) . First off I cant even explain to you how
comforting it has been to be able to find a amazing Doctor without having
to jump through hoops LOL . Next , again , thank you and Dr W both for
being so reliable with treatment , my bills , and most of all my health in
mind. I hope one day aside from like you spoke about , being honest etc ,
that there will be something that I can do for the two of you to return the
favor.”
