Dr. Whittenburg is a native of the North Texas area. He graduated
from high school with honors from L.D. Bell High School in 1986. He
then attended the University of North Texas for four years and graduated
with honors, majoring in Computer Science/Engineering with emphasis
in Biology and Chemistry in 1990. Fulfilling a lifelong dream to become
a physician, he then entered the University of North Texas Health Science
Center at Fort Worth and graduated with honors in 1996. During medical
school training he earned several scholarships and recognition for academic
performance.
Inspired by his father's experience with disabling hip arthritis at
the relatively young age of forty-six, Dr. Whittenburg decided to dedicate
his career to helping people with similar conditions. He then spent
a general internship year in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This was followed by four
years in Chicago in orthopedic surgery residency where he received training
in total joint replacement, orthopedic trauma, hand, spine, and pediatric
orthopedics. Residency training included lengthy rotations at area hospitals
such as the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Christ Hospital,
and Cook County Hospital.
He then returned to the Dallas/Fort Worth area to begin practice and
raise a family. Dr. Whittenburg is married to wife Julie, has two children
and lives in the mid-cities area.
