Very professional. Listen to what I had to say. Explained everything in a way that I could understand.

09/19/2024

He was very upfront with me, explained to me what would happen to my hand. If I didn鈥檛 have the surgery, he asked me if I had carpal tunnel if I needed that done at the same time, I told him no he put the plate and screws in and said that I should be back to work in 6 to 8 weeks very friendly stayed with me asked me if there was any questions I had he would answer and he said if I didn鈥檛 have none then, and I thought of something later that I could call him anytime I think he was very upfront. Very nice. Doctor and his staff was very nice to me too.

Everything went very good I would return if needed no problem

05/21/2024

I am over 70 years old. This was my first surgery ever, so I was very nervous. Dr White was referred from one of his colleagues because the original surgeon could not do the endoscopic procedure, and I was not comfortable with his suggestions. After meeting with Dr. White, and his talking me through the process I was much more at ease. Dr. White, Staff talked, and explained everything I could expect on the day of surgery for CT, etc. Everything was on schedule, and went exactly like he said it would. I would recommend him Fully to anyone else. I could tell you about all the little positive things that his staff also did, but then you may not believe me.
