Reviews
Being a first time mom isn’t the easiest but when you include a baby with stomach issues the stress is through the roof. Dr. Annette Whitney listened to all my concerns and addressed them while providing me resources as well. She was knowledgeable and showed compassion. Her team was very helpful and went above and beyond to make our visit run smoothly. And the follow up is immaculate. Choosing a doctor for your little one is not easy but I’m happy with Dr. Whitney and staff.

Wonderful experience. Dr. Whitney was kind and listened throughly to my medical issue. I greatly appreciate her resolution to resolve my issue.
Dr Whitney was very patient with my daughter that has a fear of needles. We appreciate the thoroughness of the tests and finding what led to our daughter’s issues.
Dr. Whitney is so caring! After years of watching my daughter suffer with no doctor able to help her we were blessed to find Dr. Whitney.
We were at the point where we knew we needed to have our daughter evaluated urgently. Dr. Whitney and her medical team got everything setup for screenings and had a diagnoses with treatment within a week. We are so grateful!

We absolutely adored Dr. Whitney. She explained everything was patient and put us and our son at ease. If we ever had to visit a GI again she would definitely be our top choice regardless of the 2 hour drive.

Dr. Whitney is amazing! We came to her after several different GI doctors with no luck. My 5 year olds constipation issues are almost solved a year later. It was not the easiest process but Dr. Whitney is so caring and compassionate and full of successful strategies! She takes the time to truly get to know you and understand every little detail. She also works with you in finding what is best for you and your whole family. She’s also just a genuinely fun person to chat with too!
Dr. Whitney was very personable and listened to all of our concerns. She took her time and helped to relieve any fears that we may have had. She’s wonderful!
Dr. Whitney was amazing. She takes her time to listen to your concerns and will request labs etc to get answers vs some other doctors just dismiss the parents concerns and you end up paying a copay for nothing. That is NOT the case with Dr. Whitney! She is great!
Front office was very friendly. The office was very clean and welcoming. The Dr was very kind and thorough.
Dr. Whitney is genuinely kind, caring, empathetic, and knowledgeable. Because she was up on the very latest studies in her field, she solved my child's problem with one piece of advice. Also, she did not order unnecessary tests. I could tell that my son's well-being was the first thing on her mind-- not making money. She also has the perfect personality for dealing with children-- my son felt comfortable with her. I really can't say enough good about her.
Dr. Whitney is a terrific doc with awesome bedside manner.
Dr. Whitney is amazing. She already saved my babies life back in 2021 by identifying an issue with her intestines. And when I brought my now 3 year old in with additional stomach concerns she acted immediately with testing. I know as soon as the results come in she will promptly consult me on best next steps. I can't thank her enough for keeping my angel safe. God bless you, Dr. Whitney.
My son has been seeing Dr Whitney for about 8 months now and she has been amazing. He has had GI issues all of his life and just since the summer, she has helped to improve his health more than what we expected. I am so happy we crossed her path. I would recommend her to anyone!!
Dr.Whitney is very understanding and will help you get to your stomach recovery.
I was very impressed with the entire office. Everyone was very warm and professional. Dr. Whitney was very personable and knowledgeable.
