I have had two surgeries with Dr Whitley. The most recent being my right carotid having plaque removed. I have total confidence in Dr. Whitley and trust in his diagnosis and his ability as a surgeon. Would not use anyone else.

He is extremely professional and a silled surgeon! I was always treated with respect and compassion by Dr. Whitley and his entire staff. I've since moved out of state and only wish my current vascular surgeon was as knowledgable a surgeon.

Dr. Whitley and Dr. Quinney recently performed surgery on my 14 y/o for thoracic outlet syndrome. These doctors are the best and cared for my son like he was their own.
