Judith Whitcomb's Online Review Report Card Is this you? Claim your profile

Dr. Whitcomb is the best. She takes the time and effort to make you feel comfortable. She follows through with your treatment as long as needed and has been following me for 20 years now. She will be greatly missed when she retires.

I was a patient of Dr. Whitcomb's in 1990. After what started as a routine breast lump removal, she had to break the news that I had cancer. Within days, she arranged for my mastectomy, and chemo follow-up. No easy task as I was moving (3 weeks after surgery), and would need weekly chemo and surgical follow-up starting in Anchorage, then Cleveland, then Boston. Her compassion, skill as a surgeon, and willingness to go above and beyond got me through a very difficult dark period. Plain and simple-she saved my life! Good news is I'm still cancer free 31 years later!

A thorough, concise, professional visit and friendly staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Whitcomb since the 80’s. She is very professional and takes the time to examine you and explain everything to you in language you can understand. She is very friendly and always smiling with a bubbly personality.

Everything about Dr. Whitcomb and her staff is way above excellent. Care is superb.

Okay, so she isn't always prompt - expect a bit of a delay, even with an appointment. The reason is because she's thorough and cares for the whole patient to include emotional needs. I cannot get upset about sitting 20 mins longer when the woman with breast cancer, who went into the office crying, comes out with a smile and a new sense of hope. Dr. Whitcomb has a fabulous sense of humor and great bedside manner. I have been seen for 4 hours for a regular office visit. It took me 7 doctors to find her, and she was the first of those to finally diagnose me. WONDERFUL DOCTOR AND FRIEND!

After a positive biopsy I was referred to Dr. Whitecomb. I cannot express how much I appreciate the time she took to explain fully and how she handled everything from pre to post op to make sure I had the best care. She is one of those rare doctors who are superior in their medical knowledge and have still kept their heart for the patients.

Both my wife and I have been Dr. Whitcomb's patients. She is known as the best breast surgeon in Anchorage. Judith deals with the serious subjects of cancer in surgery with equal doses of knowledge, analysis, and lightheartedness.

Dr Whitcomb is an excellent physician and surgeon. She is thorough and professional while treating patients as individuals. Her attention to detail and her desire to do her best during each office visit and surgery is obvious.

I would highly recommend Judith Whitcomb for a surgeon. She treated my breast cancer and I have now been a survivor for 8 years. She is one of many Doctors I have seen and she exceeds all of the other Doctors by far. You may wait for past your appointment time, but rest assured she will spend as much time with you. She is fantastic, I would choose her for any other surgeries I would need.
