He is professionally way above the norm, worthy of high praise both as a skilled and knowledgeable doctor and as a kind and caring person.

He has a website with a video that is worth checking out. It gives you a feel for his approach to his profession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=BFKBq6bgcrg

Dr. Whitney is AWESOME! He's so incredibly attentive to everything I needed. Seriously, It's been…read morea few years since I've been to the doctor, and I definitely was a little nervous going in. I probably am THAT patient that some doctors get irritated with, because I went in with a list of items that we needed to chat about or get referrals for. And as we talked, he made a mental note of each one. He fully addressed each and every thing I wanted to discuss and then moved onto the next. For me, this appointment crossed a TON off my to-do list as it was so productive. I think we can all agree that we've walked out of a doctor's office and said "oh shoot, he didn't tell me about ____". With Dr. Whitney, you'll never have to worry about that. After the fact, Dr. Whitney personally followed up with me, and advised me he'd submitted my referrals and I should be hearing back soon. I've never had such personable attention from any Doctor's office let alone one Doctor specifically!

I had a truly terrible experience with this doctor. He was condescending and dismissive about many…read moreof my concerns, including with respect to conditions for which I have received a prior diagnosis. He routinely failed to have my Rx's filled unless I followed up with him multiple times - I've never had this issue with a doctor. On one occasion, his failure to timely call-in my Rx resulted in my having to wait 45 days to have it refilled due to a nationwide shortage (the pharmacy confirmed that had he called it in on-time, I would have had no issue). The last straw occurred most recently, in which it took 7 days after an appointment for him to call in the Rx for a medicine (for which lack of access could be life-threatening), despite following up with his office 3 times and them failing to call me back after saying they would. It wasn't until I stopped by in person that he finally filled the Rx. This office was an absolute nightmare.

So many things wrong with this practice. First, I called twice within two months and left messages…read morethat I wanted to establish care with Dr. Lizotte. My calls were never returned. Second, I finally went IN PERSON to the clinic, and told his front staff that I wanted to establish care. I filled out all their paperwork. They told me I had to sign a form agreeing to appear for my appointment a FULL 30 MINUTES prior to the appointment, or the appt. would be forfeited. I found that to be highly unprofessional as I have never known a doctor to call you out of the waiting room on time for any appt. and they do not allow cell phone usage in the waiting room, so you need to sit there and just wait. When I showed up 35 minutes early for my first appt. they had yet another form they wanted me to sign, a "voluntary form" for a medical group that was different than Seaside Medical Group. Since the form said that "signing this authorization is voluntary. My treatment, payment, enrollment or eligibility for benefits will not be conditioned upon my authorization of this disclosure", I declined to sign the form. I was then immediately told I would not be seen by the doctor and given all my forms I had previously signed BACK to me. All that time, waiting for this doctor to give me the privilege of treating me. I was simply there to establish care, I have no medical issues, no need for RX, nothing. I walked out and will establish care elsewhere. By the way, both times I was there, there was NO ONE in the waiting room. It doesn't seem like a real clinic at all.

I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others…read more I was referred by a friend who also invited me to a cosmetic event that was scheduled for later in the month. I wanted to look more refreshed for another event I had planned earlier in the week and so I decided to go in early for botox. I initially had a positive first impression of this office. The doctor is a family physician who also offers cosmetic treatments like Botox and lasers. I came in specifically for Botox, and although he recommended more units than I usually receive for my crow's feet area, I agreed, trusting his judgment and hoping for good results. He even asked me to return in two weeks for a follow-up touch-up. Unfortunately, within days, I noticed no improvement at all in my crow's feet. I tried calling the office multiple times and received no response. I eventually went in person to have him evaluate the results. When I showed him the issue, he told me "not to smile so hard," which was surprising especially since during my appointment, the medical assistant had encouraged me to smile very hard for photos. At my two-week follow-up, I was expecting a touch-up as discussed. Instead, he recommended doubling the amount of Botox, and when I asked if I would be charged again, he said yes. This was concerning, as I have never needed that much product before, and my regular provider achieves effective results at a much lower cost. While he attempted to justify this with scientific explanations, my experience suggested that technique and anatomical precision, both critical in Botox, may have been lacking, rather than the amount used. What was most disappointing was that after this entire experience, there was no effort to resolve the issue or stand behind the results. Instead, I immediately received a reminder text invitation to a cosmetic event promoting additional services and products. Given the outcome of my treatment, this felt dismissive and a lack of professionalism and patient care. Overall, I left feeling disappointed with the results, communication, and handling of concerns. I would not recommend this doctor, especially for cosmetic procedures where experience, technique, and ethical standards are essential.
