"He didn’t listen to anything I said, acted like he didn’t care what pain I had... won’t go see him again and I’ll see a more qualified actual Orthopedic Specialist"
— WebMD (Dr. James Whittum)"Overwhelmingly shocked by how unhelpful this provider is. Would give 0 stars but have to leave something. Doesn’t listen, was cutting me off to inform me the pain in my injured shoulder isn’t what I say it is..."
