Dr Whitman was very pleasant and cordial, in addition to being a very skilled and brilliant practitioner of hematology/oncology.
She is revered by the intake/registration staff as well as her patients, I’m sure.
Her breadth of knowledge and acumen were quite apparent as she shared her assessments in a very thorough and comprehensible manner.
She made me feel quite at ease and comfortable, given the circumstances, and I enjoyed the sense of integrity and confidence that she displayed.
I feel that she’s a top-notch doctor, and I look forward to working with her as a patient.
