whichever/whatever doctor

[navi tasan]

Are both these sentences correct:

1-There are four doctors in your neighborhood. You can go to whichever doctor you want to.


2-Whatever doctor I have met has been nice to me.

I think they both work.

Gratefully,
Navi.

2. is wrong. "All the doctors I've met have been nice to me."; "Whenever I've met a doctor, they've been nice to me." (Singular 'they')

Thank you very much Raymott for all your kind replies.

Can one ever use "whatever" for people?

Gratefully,
Navi.

Never say never. But there's always a better alternative.
