Augusto Enrique Whittwell MD, FACS, FASMBS
Dr. Whittwell
While in medical school, I became intrigued by surgery and the variety of conditions that general surgeons have the ability to treat. Since the first day I began practicing medicine, I have had the opportunity to see many people’s lives improved. As a general surgeon, people trust me for more than surgery; they trust me with the opportunity for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Dr. Whittwell is Board Certified
I also understand the importance of keeping my skills up-to-date. That is why I continually take advanced education courses, attend training seminars, and maintain membership in professional organizations. I find that meeting with my peers allows for a free flow of ideas and vital information, which further ensures that I provide the highest level of patient care and the most advanced techniques available.
A Surgeon You Can Trust
Building a strong bond with my patients is as important to me as the surgeries I perform. I feel it is my responsibility to do more than provide surgical excellence. I strive to help you become informed about your treatment and comfortable with every aspect of your care. I believe that a positive, caring patient-doctor relationship can actually ease your discomfort and speed your recovery. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to my practice. - Dr. Whittwell
I can’t think of a more rewarding experience than seeing my friends and neighbors smile as they walk out of my office feeling better.
