Patient Reviews
Feb 22, 2024
Dr. Whitfield is a superb surgeon. While my medical problem was complicated by a number of factors, the surgery was performed flawlessly. My recovery was faster and more complete than expected, likely a function of his skill and the use of robotic technology. He may seem 'all-business' but he truly cares about his patients and their well-being. It's a great comfort to have such a highly skilled surgeon available to patients in Western North Carolina. I highly recommend him and his practice.
