Dr. Whitehurst was very nice and understanding. I really liked his sense of humor when he called back to give me my results.
He told me that I am certified sane, and that everyone else is crazy.

Mr. Whitehurst was very nice to me, I think the test I had to take was way too long, he was very good, might even use him after I go through my surgery

Be prepared to spend a good 2 hours with Dr. Whitehurst for you preop eval - he talks to you for 30 mins, then administers a 600 question "test" much like an SAT. Seems like a very nice man, and very experienced with WLS. Very quick with results too, called me at home the next morning.

Dr. Whitehurst was very kind, eager to listen, and very concerned about his patients well-being. I would recommend Dr. Whitehurst to anyone.

Dr. Whitehurst was a very caring and supportive person. He spent time talking and truly seems to care about the obese patient.

I met with the doctor after hours and because it was a little later in the day I was a bit nervous. I have to admit, the minute we started talking I was relaxed and had an open mind. The office is very comfortable and you will fit right in. The test we take is smooth sailing as long as you answer honestly, don't 2nd quess your answers.
I have considered seeing Dr. Whitehurst after the start of our new year. I just want to keep my mind as healthy as my body :)

Mr. Whitehurst is very supportive of bariatric surgery when needed. He took his time to explain the reason for testing and how the testing would take place. He put me at ease during the interview.

Dr. Whitehurst has seen 1000+ pre-op WLS patients and knows his stuff! He is also very aware of the insurance approval process and will do everything he can to assist in obtaining approval if he believes you are prepared for the surgery.

I was very happy with my visit with Dr. Whitehurst. It was nice to be able to find a psych who has dealt with so many obese individuals and has written hundreds of support letters. He didn't make me feel like I needed to convince him that I wanted surgery. I would recommend him to anyone.
