Dr Whitten and his staff were very accommodating and considerate of my discomfort. Dr Whitten was able to get me in between other procedures for an injection. Very much appreciated.
Dr. Weston hits the right trigger points when giving injections to help stop pain. My quality of life is so much better now!
Dr. Whitten and his PA were very helpful. My PA explained everything I needed to make an informed decision.
He is straight to the point and at the same time personable and kind.

Professional and compassionate. Always get great results from treatment s.
Nothing but super for this place. I would recommend this for any one that ask!
He’s a great dr. Knows his stuff and also helps explain it to you like your a little kid so you can understand it. I’m not so smart when it comes to medical terms so I like that. I’m also happy that he gives you options and really listens to you and wants to make sure you are in good care and feel good.
Very pleased… the p an Alex was very knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Was great at explaining a plan, dispelling my fears and uncertainty. Trust built and hope restored that I can regain mobility with less pain. Physical therapy and chiropractor will be effort made and rewarded.. I love your office, thank-you
Everyone was nice at the office and Explained everything where I could understand what was going on, and did a very good job treating me
Dr. Whiten was very nice, very caring person he fit me into his busy schedule bc I was in so much pain. It’s a great place to be if you have pain issues. He listened to me so he could help me better.
Dr. Whitten has given my son his quality of life back while allowing my son to be in control of his treatment. My son has Complex Region Pain Syndrome (CRPS.) It’s known as the suicide disease because it’s 12/10 painful. It is also notoriously difficult to treat. Dr. Whitten had validated my son’s pain. He has given him treatment options every steps of the way allowing him to chose his treatment path because neither I nor Dr. Whitten are in his body. My son got to choose how aggressivly he wanted to treat it. He provided hope but never oversells. He offers evidence based treatments and is up to date on the current treatments for this rare disease. We were offered multiple modalities of treatment which my son chose. He now is free of daily excruciating pain. He gets occasional flares that abortive meds are able to stop. This is incredible progress!! I highly recommend Dr. Whitten for treatment of pain.
Very caring and explains everything to you about the procedure you are having done
Professional efficient caring
Quick, friendly and efficient. Processes and outcomes explained well.
I got in right away. Everyone was personable. They were very thorough and gave me lots of options. I left feeling very hopeful.
Dr Witten listened to my concerns. Discussion was accommodating & further x-rays ordered for pain. This is biggest concern for most clients. Time to LISTEN, be heard, and have concern for reducing the pain. Over all, it felt the MD satisfied all my concerns. I left feeling Hopeful for some help with the pain, without Narcotics.
