​​“I listen carefully to my patients’ concerns and preferences and work together with them ​to make decisions about their care.”​

Provider Bio down arrow

​“I enjoy long-term relationships with patients of all ages and the impact we can have together on their health. 

Recognizing that physical health is impacted also by mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational health, I try to address the whole person.”

Dr. Whitaker’s professional interests include travel medicine, in addition to caring for men, women, and children of all ages.

She believes her experiences in overseas medical missions work in Kenya and the Dominican Republic have enriched her practice of medicine.

​To Dr. Whitaker, her Christian faith and her family are vitally important. When not serving the needs of her patients, she makes her home a priority with her husband, Brian, and their three children, Katie, Alex, and Emily. In her spare time, Kristin enjoys reading, walking, Bible study, and spending time in the kitchen.​​
