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.

Even after moving away from the coast I return to see Dr. White, for I have not found an orthopedist in my area, that could fill Dr. White's shoes. He is excellent.

I was overseas when I tore my left knee meniscus. I preferred to return home for the operation, and Dr White repaired the knee. I could see him operate as he explained what he was doing. He was exceptionally professional, efficient, personable , and caring. On another occasion, I tore the right knee meniscus. Dr White advised against an operation, and he was right. I exercised it, and now it is fine. What more could you ask for in a medIcal professional ? He is a Gentleman and a scholar.

Dr. White did an excellent job on my partial knee replacement. I was very impressed by his evaluation of my knee, his presentation of my options, his surgical expertise and follow up care. His predictions for my recovery have, so far, been right on target. The Miles hospital staff were competent, attentive, and kind. I cannot imagine a better place to have surgery. Thank you!

After suffering a swollen and sore knee for several days, with a referral from emergency services, Dr. White saw me promptly and assessed my condition immediately and proceeded to drain my knee of fluids, analyzed them promptly, recommended a procedure to alleviate the pain and underlying issue. The result allowed me to walk out of the clinic without a full leg brace I'd been using and to regain comfortable use of a normally performing knee. His comforting competence is welcomed and refreshing.

Dr White is easy to talk to, explains my options and the procedures so so I can understand them easily. I always found him professional and caring. His staff is wonderful as well. I keep coming back because I haven't found the same quality of experience that a small clinic and local hospital give you elsewhere.

Dr White is rude, obnoxious and has absolutely no bed side manner. He talks done to his patients and shows no compassion.

About Me

I would like a patient of mine to feel cared for, like he/she was a full participant in decision making, that he/she had been fully informed, that I had only his/her best interests in mind, that I instilled a feeling of confidence and that the each visit was as enjoyable as a trip to a doctor could be.

biography

I had wanted to be a surgeon from the age of 9. I was introduced to Orthopedics in high school when I worked in the local hospital emergency department and met the man who was to become my close friend and mentor, Dr. Charlie...read more
