I believe that open communication, mutual trust and uncompromising compassion are the bedrocks of the patient-physician relationship. Rather than dictate care, treatment should be a dialogue between surgeon and patient where both are equal parties in decision making. Crucial to this is ensuring patients are adequately educated about their treatment options so they can make informed decision about their care.AwardsTop Doctors (2020, 2021, 2023)''' Seattle Met'

They appreciate his personable nature and the quality care provided by his team, expressing confidence and satisfaction with his treatment. However, some patients note that Dr. White speaks quickly when explaining procedures, which can be challenging to follow, and there are occasional issues with long wait times and scheduling that detract from an otherwise positive experience. Overall, the reviews indicate a strong level of trust in Dr. White’s capabilities, despite these minor setbacks.

The only thing is Dr White spoke so fast explaining procedure. I think he could win an award for most words per minute. It'd be helpful to slow down a tad. That being said, he is an excellent doctor in whom I had full confidence.

The doctor apologized for the long delay. I should have been better informed by the receptionist during the long wait and NOT kept in the dark.

This was a consult and Dr White explained everything in layman's terms, with illustrations. He listened to my concerns and questions and answered them without a hint of dismissal or annoyance. I felt listened to and not rushed at all.
