This is a short YouTube testimonial (uploaded by Robert Whitfield MD on Feb 28, 2025) in which a patient describes moving "from denial to diagnosis." The speaker recounts initially dismissing symptoms, later recognizing that they matched a list of known symptoms, and seeking care from Dr. Whitfield. The patient emphasizes that Dr. Whitfield listened, ordered extensive blood tests, identified actionable abnormalities, and that addressing those issues made a big positive difference.

I was just pretty in denial and I didn't want to get rid of them. Finally started connecting the dots and doing research and I was like, oh, my gosh. I have literally every symptom that is on this list. You can imagine it was really scary. So that is when I contacted Dr. Whitfield, set up an appointment. We ran lots of blood tests, which was one of the reasons I loved Dr. Whitfield so much, is because I felt like he was willing to actually listen to my concerns and actually look for what was wrong, you know, not just say it's just something you're born with and you're gonna feel like you're dying. There's nothing we can do. You know, that's what all my other doctors and specialists were telling me. And so we got my blood work and saw all the things I needed to assess and work on and address that made a big difference.
