Dr. Keith Wharton

I had the misfortune of having Dr. Wharton as my OB/GYN years ago in Sewickley. I came to him and stated that I thought I had Fibroid Tumors. His response was "black, Jewish or obese". For 11 months I bled extensively and had pain. He dismissed every time as though I was making it up. Finally he performed a Hysterosalpingogram and I a number of small tumors that made up a very large one. He performed the surgery and I did not tolerate the anesthesia at all. When the nurse contacted him about my condition, he yelled at her and said "Send her home now". Sent me home could not stand, walk, just kept dry heaving. A nurse from the hospital called the next day and was furious with him. She stated the nursing staff was filing a complaint and including me among other patients.

I had been having issues with my neck, low back and right knee pain. I saw Doctor Wharton and received treatments at Pittsburgh Stem Cell. This decreased my pain and increased my range of motion! The doctor and staff are excellent and made for a great experience. I plan to continue with his recommendations to maintain the benefi.

Since the birth of BodylogicMD Dr Whartons focus has become increasingly financial and profit driven. He no longer seems to listen or care. He is dismissive and quite rude. Very disappointed as a very long time patient. Sadly, I would not recommend him to anyone and plan to change providers.

I went to see Dr Wharton on the 2 of April, I sat in his waiting room for a short time, and then for 20 in an exam room. When he came in he was rude and didnt seem interested in helping me. It seemed all he wanted was to get done and get out. We talked about my problem and looked me dead in the face and told me he didnt want to treat my tumors...that is wasn't worth the risk even though I am in excruciating pain. I left his office in tears. Oh and mind youyou he was quick to offer me his stupid vitamins, but not offer any real help in removing my tumors. Thankfully I went to Pittsburgh to see a real doctor and in may I am having the tumors he didnt see fit to remove.

I, too, went to see Dr. Wharton for severe menopausal symptoms and various other hormonal imbalances. And, yes, the cost of the appointment is expensive and not covered by insurance. But, my symptoms were being dismissed by all the other MDs as psychiatric, other than my OB/GYN who believed I was experiencing severe menopausal symptoms, but basically told me to ride it out and it would start to get better on its own. My current OB/GYN was of no help unable to offer any suggestions as to how I could lessen my symptoms all the while they were getting progressively worse and greatly interfering with my daily life. However, upon arrival, I was cordially greeted by Dr. Wharton's wife (receptionist) and his medical assistant. I filled out a brief questionnaire, then the assistant promptly took my weight and bp. Within a few minutes, Dr. Wharton came right in and introduced himself. He did a quick general exam listening to my heart, lungs, felt my thyroid gland and noted the goiter and nodule I already knew I had and taking a look at my abdomen while his assistant remained in the room. No gyn exam was involved. He has another office where he exclusively practices gyn and no longer obstetrics. Then, he took me into his office where he explained all my test results, many of which were abnormal, and the role and symptoms that particular hormone could cause if it was imbalanced. He sat next to me the whole time and maintained eye contact which I liked. Then, he developed a plan of supportive vitamin supplements which were entered and ordered from their Body Logic office in Boca Raton, FL, but I got a handwritten Rx for hot flashes which I got filled at my local pharmacy. He was also willing to work with my PCP as I have other complicating medical problems, plus he had some suggestions as to further testing my PCP may want to run based on the abnormal test results, i.e. my cortisol levels are extremely low which could indicate Addison's disease and needs further workup. He also gave me the Body Logic diet plan. Lots of good information in the brochure for anyone trying to improve their overall well being or trying to lose weight. Even though my appointment was late in the day, all my supplements were shown as order and submitted for delivery when I went home and checked my online Body Logic profile. Also, an e-mail was sent to me by the time I got home detailing the highlights of my appointment , the name of each supplement along with a detailed explanation of its purpose for being prescribed for me. He also notated that he would send a detailed letter to my PCP explaining all his findings and recommendations. He also mentioned that their Body Logic office also offers prepackaged meals, much like Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem, whereby you have to supplement those meals with fresh fruits, vegetables, etc.... and the cost was $80 -- a lot cheaper than Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. However, I have no idea what the offered meal selections consist of, tastes or looks like. But, it is something else that is offered that is not listed on the Body Logic web site. In all honesty, I didn't know what to expect because in talking with other women, including some RNs I know, it seems like there is a 50/50 split -- either they love him or hate him. Possibly, he could be moody, I truly don't know. Fortunately, my experience has been good thus far, but the future remains to be seen. However, I have to give him credit for picking up on some medical issues I have that other drs. missed, neglected to even test or further investigate. He seems quite intelligent and knowledgable in his field of expertise.

I would not recommend this doctor unless you want someone who does not spend time with you, does not explain procedures and is sarcastic. When he gives exams he will squeeze your nipples so hard it will literally hurt you. I would not go back to him. The nurse that works with him Beth is very nice unfortunately I will not got back because of Dr. Wharton.
