Great care!!! Surgery staff was phenomenal. Dr. Scott Whitlow is a ROC-Star!!! He did everything he initially said he would do for a complete “ankle” replacement. I was referred to Dr. Whitlow from a friend, who also experienced foot surgery by this same doctor. I cannot say enough good about his knowledge, patient care, kindness, and professionalism! Dr. Scott Whitlow is a TOTAL ROC-Star!!! I would totally recommend him to anyone needing foot/ankle repair and/or replacement. Thank you!

I’m really happy with Dr. Whitlow’s surgical job on my foot! He did a great job. I believe he really cares about having the best outcome for my foot. He’s very knowledgeable in diagnosing the problems and also, he knows how to fix the problems. I’m very happy to have him as my doctor!

I saw Dr. Whitlow about the pain in my feet. I was super impressed how efficient ROC is. With X-ray and seeing the doctor only took 45 mins. Dr. Whitlow was awesome. He’s friendly and a good listener and thorough at explaining how to get rid of my pain. I love that he didn’t push surgery on me. My issues can be resolved by PT and exercise. Thank you very much Dr. Whitlow and staff.
