I have never been to Dr. Whelan, but his WOCN, Kathryn Baxter was a wonderful asset to our local ostomy support group. I'm going to miss her. She is one of the best.

They Lie You Can't believe what they say.I called to book a colonoscopy and FIRST thing asked IF they could book me in June for the procedure - due to my own needs/schedule. They said they could. Then I go to a 'required' consult, they keep me waiting 90 minutes , cannot book the procedure that day and then the next week call to tell me the earliest appt. is late July?! Really? A total dealbreaker! Wasted my time and put me in a position of crunch time now. Really bad office.
