Jackie Whitesell is one of the best actors I know in her feel that known what they doing.

Dr Whitesell has been my Neurologist for many years and I wouldn’t change her for the world. I don’t know what I would do without her. She is a very patient doctor and takes the time to listen to your concerns, she makes sure she covers everything before she dismisses you. We need more Dr. whitesells.

She is a very caring person and spends a lot of time with me. Fantastic bedside manner.

10/03/2025

For some reason I felt like there was a translation engine between what we talked about and the notes. But sometimes these able bodied types are just paranoid.

10/01/2025

She addressed every question I had, gave answers whenever possible, referred me to physical therapy to address my issues with vertigo and balance, and set up a future visit 3 months out.

she is so kind

09/25/2025

I first met with Dr. Whitesell over 5 years ago with a somewhat frightening case of Myasthenia Gravis. Frightening because symptoms were setting in and I had no knowledge of the disease and how it could be treated. Dr. Whitesell quickly gave me a treatment plan with assurances that improvement was likely in the near term future. She also encouraged me to study the disease on my own, online. The confidence her words gave me, plus the treatment of course, has led me to near total recovery today. Thank you, Dr Whitesell.

She apologized for our long wait. When I asked her if she was frustrated when she was running late and couldn't do anything about it, she said that she tried to put it all in perspective.

I had met with several very competent and professional neurologists in the Treasure Valley before I was referred to Dr. Whitesell. I am very happy that I am now in her care. I look forward to my appointments. Dr. Whitesell is an excellent listener and is eager to offer possible solutions for any issues I may bring up. She has helped me immensely in the past few years with her knowledge and her compassion. Thank You

Within the same day, Dr. Whitesell had already sent a report to my primary care provider with a thorough detailed report of our visit! I feel like she is very in tune to what’s going on, asks good questions and listens.

03/28/2025

For me she is great, for my sister who is patient's caregiver, does not mesh as well with Dr Whitesell. My sister is "sensitive" and sometimes feels like she isn't always understood

03/27/2025

Dr. Whitesell and staff are amazing!

03/26/2025

Dr. Whitesell is wonderful. She was about a half-hour late for our appointment, which is why I rated her for 9 out of 10 oh treating me with courtesy and respect. I understand that doctors run late for multiple reasons and don't hold it against her. She was thorough and attentive when she entered the room and spent the amount of time needed.

I didn't think to ask if the blood work ordered might not be covered by Medicare. If it is very costly we might not have opted to go that route. It's important to clue in the patient about possible high costs of rarified labs.

I always get the best of care from Dr. Whitesell.
