I have had only good experiences.
Providence Patient
He was great! Listened to what I said, took one look at my skin condition, and diagnosed it correctly. The treatment he suggested worked very well and very quickly.

This was one of the best experiences I have had with Dr. White. I have seen him regularly for over ten years and have felt at times his main focus has been on data rather than on the patient in front of him. We had a constructive conversation about most of my health Issues and talked about solutions. He was able to address my concerns with the usual full array of information. I greatly appreciated his compassion and empathy for some recent losses in my life. I also came away feeling that he felt confident in what I could do to improve my health and was concerned about outcomes. I also mentioned how hard it is to make appointments in a timely manner (but I know staffing is tight and needs are great these days). I also mentioned that when I called to make the appointment, the scheduler said it would only be about my blood pressure checkup. Dr. White asked about any other health concerns and kindly took time to review a specific issue with my knee and discussed therapy solutions. I am very happy to have scheduled an annual exam that will follow up on all these issues, even though I had to do that in August 2024.

I have always been happy with the attention and care from Dr White. He seems to spend quite a bit of time talking with me during appointments, which helps me to give a more well-rounded picture of health.
