Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Nope.
Forced to deal with this guys office after Dr. Eskimo retired with zero notice from his office. Refuses to refill a medication I’ve been on for years that’s been working very well for me because he doesn’t seem to either care or agree with it. Don’t waste your time.

Terrible. Find someone else.
Called multiple times a day for three weeks to schedule an appointment. Appointment scheduler doesn't answer phone, so you play phone tag. Had to get a nurse to schedule an appointment with me. Upon scheduling my appointment, I was told nothing about preping my colon. A FRIEND of mine mentioned the prep work to me THE NIGHT BEFORE my scheduled Colonoscopy. No one I talked to, not even the lady who called earlier to confirm my appointment, mentioned anything about flushing my colon or having to arrange a ride home. So after TWO MONTHS of waiting to be seen I'm forced to cancel. Hope the problem I've been facing since late December resolves itself and it's not cancer. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.

Rush appointment, rude, broken promises
Initial appointment was maybe 15 minutes. He didn't care what I had to say. Seemed like he just wanted me out. Wrote in his notes that we talked about things that we did not talk about. I've worked with military doctors that care for me better than he did, and that's saying something. Said he would order two tests, if they came back clean then we would do a colonoscopy. Tests came back clean and now he doesn't want to do the colonoscopy. No explanation, his nurse told me this. Wants to do a follow up in 3-4 months.I tried to explain that I've been in pain for over a year after unknowingly injecting jet fuel for 9 months but I guess he didn't hear that, or care.

Long waiting list for endoscopy
I twice made appt. to see Dr. White at Skyline, but each time, the office had me see his nurse practitioner. She scheduled me for endoscopy, but the earliest date was two months later; I saw Dr. White only briefly on day of endoscopy. Apparently the nurse practitioner sees the office patients and makes treatment decisions, while White performs the endoscopies. I know of another patient who had the same experience: saw nurse practitioner in office and saw White only briefly on day of endoscopy. Since White's associate, Alan Bailey, is retired, White is performing all the endoscopies, so perhaps that explains the long waiting time and his turning office patients over to a nurse practitioner. Not the best way, IMO.

I love Dr. White and his entire care team. Most of the office has been with them for their entire work lives. Dr. White takes the time needed to get to the bottom of problems and he's very caring. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a GI doctor.

Gave us a life altering diagnosis and when we started to ask questions, he cut us off and told us to see a nutrionist. I doubt his diagnosis and haven't even seen him in over 7 months
