The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown below from our survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Dr. Whitley is hands down the best physician I've had experience with as a d1 athlete that has seen and had numerous medical experiences and interactions. What It comes down to is a culture of CARE. From the start you don't feel rushed to talk through your experiences and injury history. He listens and listens carefully. Second, he wants to find the solution that is both bespoke to your individual needs rather than rushing to cut and do a surgery. Third, you can tell that he cares for you as a human being experiencing pain, upholding the core principles of being a physician, he not only does not cause harm but actively seeks to create good for the patient. Lastly, he ensures education and awareness of the care plan, giving you time to think of questions instead of asking if you have any, waiting 3 seconds, and already heading out the door (an experience I have personally had many times over). Dr. Whitley is the model physician, stands for everything we seem to lack in the average medical system: care, patience, and focus on the unique patient rather than the average statistic.

I was a referral to Dr. Whitney probably unknowingly he operated from my doctor's notes l believe.

However l did feel comfortable and would recommend him l just felt he could exhibit better "bedside manners" they really go along way with patients .

Fantastic
Good
Excellent
I just thought the appointment went very fast. I was handed out printouts of what exercises to do and how to check if I am ready to get back to playing sports. I still had some questions which I did not get time to ask the doctor because it seems like he was rushing through the appointment
I felt like my pain level was not addressed and sent me home with exercises
Doctor Jeremy eased my anxiety and made me feel comfortable about the procedure and it helped me feel better and more comfortable and I made it through just fine. His confidence, patience and professionalism was just outstanding and what I truly needed.Thank you so much!
Good
Dr Whitley is top notch!
My worst appointment with Emory in five years
The Dr read my test results and was through in his explanation of the results. I truly feel the area that was tested was not the area in which my pain resides. It was deemed the test results were inconclusive for the area in which I was seeking treatment. I felt the need for a second opinion and after that doctor reviewed the imaging, he determined I have scar tissue forming on y uterus which has caused a femoral hernia in the area and is leaking fluid into my hip area! This pain has been going on for quite some time and it's very disappointing the ordering provider didn't see this problem when reading my results.
I am very satisfied with everything
I have referred family to Dr. Whitely based on treatment I have been provided
Dr Whitley is terrific

Dr Whitley was very compassionate & knew initially what was going on with my shoulders. He provided options & next steps. Currently with PT I am some improved & aware of the next steps if my shoulders worsen. I appreciate his professionalism, prompt diagnosis and follow up. I would definitely recommend him!
Dr. Whitley was fantastic. Since I have had a complicated orthopedic history, I had some reluctance with starting with a new provider. Dr. Whitley was a great listener, explained my xrays and diagnosis, and gave a comprehensive overview of treatment options. He was efficient and never appeared rushed. He gave me ample opportunities to ask questions and gave clear follow up instructions. He gave me a cortisone shot in each knee to give me some immediate relief and get me through an upcoming physically strenuous six weeks. I will then contact him to set up a series of gel injections. He was personable, communicative, and strategic in his recommendations. I look forward to working with him and feel great about meeting him.
Dr Whitley and staff provided a thorough and phenomenal health care experience. They were professional, very personable and made me feel very confident and secure in the information they were provided.
