My wife referred me to Dr Whiddon, and several friends in my Trinity neighborhood all had good things to say about him as well. My experience today was excellent. Dr Whiddon took the time to listen to my history, of several leg injuries over the years. And, he diagnosed where the pain/ discomfort was likely coming from. He laid out next steps very simply and gave me the assurance that following these steps would get me back on track and back on the golf course!

Best doctor !
Mar-2024
Its not his fault really, but I was so disappointed when there was nothing he could really do for my damn fake knee which hurts all the time. He was just like the other doctors I’ve been to. They xray my knee, say it looks ok and suggest therapy or voltaren. Well, voltaren does nothing. If it hurts to walk, how is therapy going to help? But he seems like a niceman, its not his fault, I guess. The science isn’t up to my knee. I would have liked a MRI on the knee to see just what was wrong with it, but he didn’t suggest that. I was too down hearted to say anything more. But he’s a good doctor. He put my husband’s knee in and he’s had no trouble, unlike mine. Mine was done in Tennessee.
Mar-2024
Patient, professional and honestly a good hearted Doctor.

It has been 2 years since Dr Whiddon replaced my left knee. I returned to playing senior basketball 4 months after surgery, and I still play half court ball 3 times a week at age 80. Last month my team finished in 1st place in Pittsburgh at the National Senior Games Basketball Championships. Dr Whiddon got me back on the court in minimum time and enabled me to continue playing my favorite sport. An x-ray taken today showed that everything in my knee is still in the right place and working well.
Aug-2023
Very good DOCTOR, glad I found him!

This is for you Dr David R Whiddon, OAWF Trinity office
It was recommended by my primary doctor to see a specialist since I am in pain when I walk. I went against the recommended doctor and did my own research as I have always done with my numerous previous surgeons and guess what? Once again, I struck at the very best and that is Dr. Whiddon. I am impressed with his background, his expertise and years in practice. Now let’s discuss the office visit: superb to say the least. From entering the practice to check in till you leave it is nothing but perfection. He is thorough, yet does not linger to feed you a load of BS. He is crystal clear in his explanation and quite pleasant to chat with. I am very happy I went with my gut feeling and am, once again, blessed with an outstanding doctor. Also, a minor fact and although not all that important, he is good looking and fit ;-). Thank you, Dr Whiddon, I will see you in a year.
May-2023
