Verified patient
Jul 2024I called with a minority urgent condition. My right ear had a blockage that made it nearly non-functional. I had called an ENT doctor that I had used previously in High Point. I was told that his first available appointment was 6 weeks out, and his P.A. would be 2 weeks out. I didn't want to wait that long, so I called Novant to see if they could do better than that. Imagine my delight to hear that Dr. Whitaker could see me that afternoon! Dr. Whitaker diagnosed this as an earwax problem and cleaned out that ear. I walked out of the office 30 minutes after I walked in, with my problem completely resolved.
