Honestly, he made me feel so much better about all this. I wanted to hug him. I went home and cried from relief, and I haven't actually had surgery yet.

It was good to meet Dr. Whitmer because he has operated on me before and he is looking forward to checking the results of the last operation. I appreciate how quickly he was able to schedule me for my next surgery.

Again, he explained things very well and was very personable. He answered all our questions and made me feel excited for my surgery rather than scared.

My hernia was a difficult one to find. My only wish is that it was found in the first surgery. Dr. Whitmer made it right and got me right in to get it fixed. I really appreciate him for that.
