I haven't had the test yet that Dr. White prescribed for me. But have never had a problem with any of the doctors not getting back to me as soon as tests come back. I travel across the mountains from Eastern Washington to go to Swedish Issaquah because of the great care I get from the doctors. Would not go anywhere else!!

Dr White was very concerned with my issue and offered a solution to it.

Dr White spent time listening to me. Then he asked specific questions before making his recommendations. I appreciate his candor and his suggestions for me going forward.

Dr. White spent a lot of time explaining my surgical procedure before and afterwards. I did have to remind his office to schedule a one year follow-up barium swallow post my surgery. I did so because I started having unusual acid reflux with occasional vomiting. Unfortunately, the surgical procedure failed after a year. I knew there were risks with surgery. I had hoped the hernia repair would have lasted longer than a year. Dr. White was candid and at the same time supportive while explaining options post the unsuccessful procedure. He was going to do a follow-up with me in six months to see how I was doing. I appreciated that.
