About

Dr. Whitfield has extensive training and experience in treating all individuals who want to maximize their potential to be active, from high performing athletes to individuals who simply want their joints to keep up with their lifestyle. He believes in a patient-centered approach, tailoring his treatments both operatively and non-operatively to the individual patient’s needs. While in residency he received a Georgetown Caring Star Award, a patient-initiated award for exceptional care. He strives to provide thoughtful care with compassion and respect to every single patient.
He is specialty trained in hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow conditions and procedures. He has a particular interest in helping restore patients’ quality of life through the use of hip arthroscopy and shoulder arthroplasty. In the hip, he treats conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), tendon tears, and labral tears with minimally invasive joint preservation techniques. In the shoulder, he performs arthroscopy for conditions such as shoulder instability and rotator cuff tears. He also has specialized training and experience in joint replacement surgery, including shoulder replacements (standard, reverse, and revisions), minimally invasive direct anterior hip replacements and subvastus knee replacements.
Dr. Whitfield is originally from Greensboro, NC. In 2014, Dr. Whitfield moved to the Georgia area with his wife, a Georgia native, and two children. He enjoys physical fitness, learning, service, and above all, spending quality time with his friends and family.
He earned his BS from Duke University in mathematics and economics before obtaining his medical degree from the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences. He became proficient at treating all aspects of orthopaedic problems during his 5 years of residency training at Georgetown University. Following residency, Dr. Whitfield spent one year as a “Hawk Fellow” at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Greenville, SC, where he received specialized training in the latest and most successful, evidence-based treatments for athletic injuries on the field, in the office, and in the operating room.

Dr. Whitfield is a really terrific doctor. I especially like that. He listens to everything that I have to say regarding my condition. He is very caring and very thorough. I trust him to guide me the right way. He absolutely did that with some previous issues I had with tears in my hips, and now he's doing the same for me with another issue. I cannot say enough, good things about him.

I have recommended Dr Whitfield to two friends as he is an excellent communicator, an excellent physician and takes the time to discuss and explain what is or is going to happen.

Dr Whitfield did an amazing job explaining and talking through a medically complex decision.

Dr very knowledgeable and listened as well as provided a lot of info. It was too much info too fast, so hard to retain it all, and I'm not able to repeat it all to my other care providers - would have helped if he stopped more to ask for questions. But otherwise good appt.

Dr. Whitfield is wonderful. I'm getting better and his explanations were great. My first doctor was an Piedmont doctor and I never got any better. I'm very happy with Dr. Whitfield

Dr. Whitfield is amazing. He spent a great deal of time with me answering all of my questions (even the ridiculous questions) with patience and understanding. He was honest (which I appreciate from a surgeon) about the recovery and helpful in explaining the level of success in dealing with my pain that he anticipates.

Dr. Whitfield answered every question that I has asked of him regarding suggested treatments for hip and/or back pain. Dr. Whitfield's attention was unwavering. I am clear in my mind that any physical treatment or surgery for my hips would be completed by Dr. Whitfield, if he were willing to continue to have me as a patient.

Whitfield is great. INCREDIBLY busy and likely burning out but that seems to be the Emory way - pile on the work to the good ones until they crack. Things I've noticed as I've been a patient for 3 years now - the turnover rate of staff is high.

Dr. Whitfield was excellent and explained things clearly.

Dr. Whitfield is a master of his craft. Using the scientific method, he reviewed my history, previous attempt at resolution and results. He postulated (3) different actions possible with various recommendations. I chose his recommendation and it was a gel shot done in his clinic during the same visit. Thus far, there has been immediate improvement. I hope Emory is able to keep such masters in their employ. Losing him would be a serious loss in skills for orthopedics at Emory.

Above answers related to Dr Whitfield. His nurse was also very professional. The PA was professional, but not up to speed on my case - for example when I asked about MRI results she read the report to me as opposed to discussing in any substance. I had already read the report and knew what it said (better than she did). If she wasn't apprised on the report I would've preferred she defer to Dr for the questions.
