Dr. White took his time and addressed my needs. I have visited 2 previous eye doctors and got no results. He and his staff were excellent!! Their office waiting area is comfortable, I was called right in, The office staff went over my insurance, how they bill, their patient portal, gave me a laminated card with all my information to have to purchase glasses. I cannot say enough about them. I wish all doctors took their time like they do - Excellent Eye doctor and staff!! Recommend them highly!!

Dr. White is a thorough man, takes his time with his patients and as he examines he always has an assistant on the computer marking down exactly what he says WHILE he is doing the exam. He is a gentleman, and easy to talk too about any eye problems. I have been absolutely delighted with Dr. White, not only for his expert care of my eyes, but his nice way of making me feel at ease.
