About the Provider

Jeremy Whitley, MD, is an assistant professor in the departments of Orthopedics and Emergency Medicine at Emory University.  He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and is well versed in the management of acute illness and injury in patients of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of competition--routinely applying these skills and concepts to the athletes entrusted to his care. He currently serves as an associate team physician for Georgia Tech Athletics and the Atlanta Falcons and is the head team physician at Westlake High School. A Georgia native, Dr. Whitley has called the Atlanta area home since the start of his medical education.  After graduating from Emory University School of Medicine, he completed his residency in emergency medicine through Emory University and Grady Memorial Hospital—home to one of the busiest emergency departments in the country, and arguably the premier Level 1 trauma facility in the Southeastern United States.  He concluded his training with a sports medicine fellowship here at the Emory Sports Medicine Center.   Dr. Whitley practices at the Smyrna regional office several days a week and fills the remainder of his clinical time providing emergency care at several hospitals within the Emory Healthcare Network.  His specific clinical interests include the utilization of musculoskeletal ultrasound for both diagnostic purposes and precision guidance of procedures, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of both joint and tendon injuries, fracture care, and sport-related concussion management.  He is an active member of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine and American College of Emergency Physicians, having attended multiple national conferences and contributed to the sports medicine literature. Dr. Whitley is an avid traveler and most enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters.

    The Dr read my test results and was through in his explanation of the results. I truly feel the area that was tested was not the area in which my pain resides. It was deemed the test results were inconclusive for the area in which I was seeking treatment. I felt the need for a second opinion and after that doctor reviewed the imaging, he determined I have scar tissue forming on y uterus which has caused a femoral hernia in the area and is leaking fluid into my hip area! This pain has been going on for quite some time and it's very disappointing the ordering provider didn't see this problem when reading my results.

Dr. Whitley was a great listener, explained my xrays and diagnosis, and gave a comprehensive overview of treatment options. He was efficient and never appeared rushed. He gave me ample opportunities to ask questions and gave clear follow up instructions. He gave me a cortisone shot in each knee to give me some immediate relief and get me through an upcoming physically strenuous six weeks. I will then contact him to set up a series of gel injections. He was personable, communicative, and strategic in his recommendations. I look forward to working with him and feel great about meeting him.
