Dr. Whitaker has been my PCP for over a decade.  He conducts his physician duties from the heart, as well as the book.  He takes the time to consider each patient's individual situation with respect to industry standard guidelines for certain medical conditions.  He has shown me a considered awareness of, and ability to exploit the overall breath of the medical establishment; excellent coordination with Cardiologist and Endocrinologist.
