Patient Reviews
Oct 13, 2017
Dr Whitehead is compassionate and an incredible surgeon. Our daughter was treated by him and we will forever be grateful for his skill as she survived a tumor biopsy and tumor resection for a JPAnonnthe brain stem and has no long term deficients. He is an excellent communicator and presented options before surgery including second opinions to make sure we were fully informed. He was thorough and caring. We would highly recommend him to others parents with children needing neurosurgery.
