01/27/2025

Dr. Whipple is extremely kind and very knowledgeable. She listens and cares.

01/03/2025

Dr. Whipple is absolutely amazing!

01/03/2025

Very easy going

12/30/2024

She is flat-out exceptional and I feel very lucky to have found her.

12/16/2024

I'm a veterinarian with a PhD so I understand medicine. I find it hard as a woman to find a doctor that doesn't express misogyny (even female doctors). I feel like I'm hypersensitive to physicians who aren't up to date on research, unempathetic, or clearly think that women are just complaining all the time. Dr. Whipple is so far from those extremes and I have never met her equal. She's clearly a doctor because she loves people and medicine. I will continue to see her even though I've moved to Lansing for work. She also wears a mask which demonstrates her scientific knowledge and care for her fellow humans.

12/16/2024

Dr. Whipple is very caring!! I cannot express the time she puts into myself, she listens and gets things done

12/13/2024

I always feel heard each and every time I visit Dr.Whipple

12/02/2024

It was one of the best doctor visits I have had.

11/29/2024

Dr. Whipple is an exceptional physician. She gives you the time you need to cover all the issues.

11/26/2024

I'm very positive about her in general. We didn't address a couple of broad questions about her medical orientation that I included in a portal message. I should have remembered to bring them up but was feeling very stressed about finding a new doctor.

11/12/2024

Dr. Whipple is quite pleasant. She went over my chart thoroughly. She made sure I was informed, never rushed, and actually listened to all my concerns. That had not always been my experience in other systems. I have tried to connect everyone I could with not only Trinity Health, but I love my providers.

11/10/2024

Dr Whipple is kind compassionate and thorough. She spends the right amount of time with you. If you send her a message in the patient portal you get a response within the day. Also if you are waiting for test results, she responds even if you didn't expect her to.

11/05/2024

Dr. Whipple is always caring and listens to your questions and gives excellent advice on nutrition and vaccination information

07/08/2024

Dr. Whipple is kind, patient and caring. She never rushes with me. She answers all of my questions and asks me if she has taken care of all of my needs before she leaves the room. She is one of a kind. And Trinity Health is much better off with her practicing there.

07/03/2024

I can't say enough good things about Dr Whipple. My only fear is that word is getting out about her and it's getting g trickier to get appointments with her because she's so awesome.

So glad I moved over to Dr Whipple as my Primary care doctor.

04/30/2024

She stands head and shoulders above the rest. She's very knowledgeable and humble. If an issue is above her she'll find the answer. Her bedside manner should be in seminars before doctors start practicing medicine. She knows how to allow the patient to express their needs without rushing you or making you feel unheard. She's amazing!

Dr. Whipple spent ample time with me and gave me the care and resources I needed to get better. I love her!

03/25/2024

Dr Whipple is the best Dr I have ever had in my life.

03/20/2024

10/08/2023

I'm a new patient with Dr. Whipple and have been on a few medications for several years.

09/18/2023

09/06/2023

Visits seem rushed, not sure if it's because Dr. Whipple is a fast talker

08/29/2023

I came in with a lot of things as it's been a while since I've seen Dr. Whipple. We discussed most of what I wanted to (I forgot a few things) and made a game plan for our next visit in a few months. I trust Dr. Whipple without hesitation and am so glad to have her on my care team.

I love everything and everyone at this place. They all see me and treat me as they hopefully treat their own moms
