I am 84 years old so the teeth are a challenge. Also a vet of Korea and Vietnam so dental care was a challenge. Dr. Whitaker, and staff (Hi Ed!) are the most professional and capable of any dental procedure I've known, and also a network of specialists, and I've needed some. The Whitaker team is as good (okay, better) than any others I have seen.

Dr. Whitaker and his staff have been taking excellent care of all of my dental needs for many years. Although I've recently moved further away, I will continue to commute to his office for all of my future dental needs. He is thorough and explains all dental needs in a manner that I understand completely. I would not hesitate to refer family and friends to his office.

I have seen Dr.Whitaker since I was a child and his father in law before that. I switched dentists due to working further down the hill. My new dentist told me I had a bunch of cavities at my last visit in the midst of changing jobs and insurance. Once I got settled my new job allowed me to go back to Dr. Whitaker and I am so glad! He told me he didn't see anything wrong with my teeth nor having cavities. I trust him so much and would come back to him even if I had to travel. Him and his staff are amazing and I am so thankful I came back to him. Thank you for everything Dr.Whitaker.
