“Great Experience”
I went to Dr. Whitehurst to evaluate an MRI I had done after I hurt my shoulder at the end of 2018. He evaluated my MRI results and did a thorough examination of my shoulder. He was very complete in his explanation and provided me with all of the different options. The pain in my shoulder has subsided due to the cortisone shot and if any of my symptoms flare up, I will not hesitate to go back to Dr. Whitehurst.

“Hop, skip, and a jump”
Dr. Jon, What are three things I could not do before coming to you? Along with stand from a seated position, navigate stairs, and walk with a normal gait. Now four weeks later, I can do about half the list. Thank you! Brian B.
