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.

It was excellent. I didn’t have to wait several days to be seen. Only one!!Everyone was excellent. Dr White diagnosed and treated the problem right away and my pain subsided a lot even while I was in the office. Before that it was pretty intense. They are excellent and I totally recommend them.

Highly Recommend
Can't express how appreciative I am of Dr. White's professionalism, knowledge, graciousness, cooperation, in helping me in cost-savings on an expensive medication. I have worked 3 months to find someone to help me and his staff came through with flying colors. He, they turned it around in less then a week. Truly one of the Best of the Best!

He is so very knowledgeable, patient, makes you feel like you are the only patient that he has. that day. He does not want to rush you of to surgery before making sure that it is a necessity.
