“I'm glad I had my yearly check up with Dr.Colin Whitaker, especially because I fell 4x in the last month. I've I been falling about 2x a month all year. I esp. Have problems with my balance. I Wanted to make sure I didn't damage my back from the back surgery he did on me in June 2023. My 4 XRays he took came back good. I didn't damage my back. Thank God. He told me to go back to PT for my balance to help me strengthen my body t keep doing my exercises so I stop falling t tripping. I told him I have an order in fir my PT. But I was waiting until I get the OK from my Eye Dr. On 5 /16/ 25. I had 2 different eye surgeries since Dec .9 2024 until 4/ 29/25. Dr.Whitaker also said to start my PT as soon as possible t let him know if I fall again or have any more problems with my back to call him t make an Appt.with him t He will take care of me. He also asks if I have any more questions for him after my visit. He is very professional t kind t caring. He also told me to try t stop falling so much too. If I would ever need to have another back ot neck surgery I would definitely have him do it .I would also recommend Dr.Whitaker too. Sincerely, Mrs.Geraldine Warncke”
