Would 10/10 recommend Dr. Whitney for her care. Our first visit with her, I was extremely pleased. She listened to all concerns of mine for my baby and addressed each one. We are moving in the right direction with time. Thankful we are!
Dr. Whitney and her team are very attentive, proactive and extremely prompt in responding to phone calls and requests. Her exams are thorough and my kid loves her. Twice we were able to be seen and scoped within 10 days of the initial visit. Unmatched care! She is at the top of my list of pediatric GI specialists!
We just had our first visit and we are so thankful for Dr. Whitney’s expertise and thoroughness.
Dr. Whitney is professional and kind. She genuinely cares for her patients and takes time to understand and answer questions. Didn’t feel rushed.

Dr. Whitney is so thorough and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and the overall outcome. We are so excited to have found her and DHAT.
Had an amazing first visit. My daughter was able to get in immediately and Dr Whitney was able to put my worries at ease and let me know that she can fix whatever is going on once we have a colonoscopy and see where it is coming from. Great staff all around.
Amazing doctor and staff. Dr. Whitney is so thorough. You can tell her heart is in helping her patients. ❤️
Dr. Whitney is very personable and very detailed. She always listens to our concerns and offer real attainable solutions. She took her time and helped to relieve any fears that we may have had. She also will check on you (herself, not her staff)after a procedure.
Dr.Whitney is all the things you want in a doctor--easy to schedule without a long wait, short wait time in office, good listener, kind, smart and articulate. She quickly diagnosed the issue and explained treatment. We were in and out within 30 minutes of arriving but did not feel rushed. Her prices are reasonable (we are cash pay) especially for a specialist. Her front desk staff were friendly. Bonus--the patient room overlooks a football practice field and it's a cool view (Plano office). I would definitely recommend her and see her again if needed.
Wonderful, they made my daughter feel comfortable.
Being a first time mom isn’t the easiest but when you include a baby with stomach issues the stress is through the roof. Dr. Annette Whitney listened to all my concerns and addressed them while providing me resources as well. She was knowledgeable and showed compassion. Her team was very helpful and went above and beyond to make our visit run smoothly. And the follow up is immaculate. Choosing a doctor for your little one is not easy but I’m happy with Dr. Whitney and staff.
Annette Whitney has always been
So informative, knowledgeable, caring and always has had the best interest in my child. Not just in terms of medically but emotionally also. I will always continue to use her and recommend her to everyone. She has been a life changer for my family.

Wonderful experience. Dr. Whitney was kind and listened throughly to my medical issue. I greatly appreciate her resolution to resolve my issue.
Dr Whitney was very patient with my daughter that has a fear of needles. We appreciate the thoroughness of the tests and finding what led to our daughter’s issues.
Dr. Whitney is so caring! After years of watching my daughter suffer with no doctor able to help her we were blessed to find Dr. Whitney.
We were at the point where we knew we needed to have our daughter evaluated urgently. Dr. Whitney and her medical team got everything setup for screenings and had a diagnoses with treatment within a week. We are so grateful!

We absolutely adored Dr. Whitney. She explained everything was patient and put us and our son at ease. If we ever had to visit a GI again she would definitely be our top choice regardless of the 2 hour drive.

Dr Whitney has provided the best care over the year and half that weve been seen under her care. Even if the visits are quick, you absolutely walk away feel “seen” every time!
