About Me:
Dr. Karli Whittam is a transplant from Canada who came to the Family Wellness Center in 2005. She delivered babies for years before stopping her obstetric practice, but she continues to take pleasure in newborns and pediatric care as well as ongoing care for new patients. "I love the families," she says. "Everybody is different, everybody has something to offer. It's always challenging and never boring. I like to see the whole family," Dr. Whittam adds. "A person's health can be affected by their environment, and as their family doctor, I can get the whole picture." Karli's whole family golfs together, and she often plays with her daughter. She and her son like to spend time on the mountains: she skis, he snowboards.

I absolutely LOVE Dr Whittam, I've never had a doctor that actually listend and helped and didn't make you feel judged until her. She actually wants to help you find solutions and you can tell she genuinely cares about you. I love her so much I always tell people about her and this clinic and my mom also became her patient and loves her as well and also thinks she's the best doctor she's ever had.

The receptionist did not use a discretionary voice when asking if I'd like to put any additional money to my PAST DUE accounts [she said that loud]. I said, what past due accounts, I just checked last night?'. "Oh. Well, this one is only $3.60. I guess they don't send bills out for anything less than $15.00. And you have another one for over $2k but it's brand new, it looks like it's still processing." Great. Thanks for making me look like a bill skipper. Then it took her FIVE MINUTES to figure out how make change for $5.00 so I could pay the $3.60 invoice. I almost told her to keep the change but she tried to shame me for non-pmt.

The woman who dreamy blood sample had a torn glove with her index finger exposed. This was poor infection control. I did not see it until she was drawing the blood and it was too late to comment.

Great dialog!

It took Dr. Whittam about 30 minutes to see me after the MA left. Had to wait about 15 minutes for someone to do a blood draw. Dr. Whittam took her time with me to make sure past and present health issues were addressed. She answered all my questions clearly so I could understand. I came away feeling that she took care of me as my primary doctor.

I have received excellent care from Dr. Whittam. She has been very supportive to me & my children in our healthcare. Most times we're seen within 15 minutes of our scheduled appointment, & sometimes between 15-25 minutes. But we understand that she is providing the best care to all of her patients & she NEVER rushes us & always listens respectfully, with genuine care & concern for our overall well-being & health. Thank you!

All the stuff at Karli's office are awesome I will stay with Karli for as long as she will have me as her patient .
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
one additional nicety- the receptionist, (who was busy) managed to keep her eye on, and operate the automatic door for patients entering the clinic. I wouldn't have known it was her doing it- until she shared her personal aversion to touching public door handles with a patient who entered after me. (I share her aversion 100%). The check in assistant who got my weight/height was also upbeat and pleasant. This is exactly the sort of thing one would hope for when facing medical issues. Add in a competent and caring physician (Dr Whittam) and this clinic deserves high marks. Thank You
