"Just a little thank you Dr. White for such a great job and making me feel so comfortable. Your staff is amazing! Thank you to you and your team for helping me feel calm and comfortable through my entire processes."
Ellen
"I have nothing but great things to say about my laser hair removal experience with Dawn! I decided to get laser hair removal because of the unwanted hair on my stomach and bikini area. I am so glad that I did! After having six treatments of laser hair removal I now only have to shave my bikini area and stomach once a week! That is a huge difference from having to shave everyday or every other day. The hair now grows back thin with minimal razor burn! Dawn made my experience so great! She truly cares for her clients and wants to give them the results they are looking for. I can’t recommend Dr. White and his team enough! They are truly the best!"

"I’ve been coming to Dr. White for over 20 years. My initial consultation was for carpal tunnel hand surgery. Dr. White saved both my hands by taking a tendon out of one arm and using it in both of my thumbs. After experiencing his amazing work and bedside manner, I decided to have some cosmetic procedures done. Dr. White performed surgery on my face, breasts, and stomach. The results have absolutely changed my life for the better! Thank you Dr. White for always answering all my questions and for always helping me feel comfortable. You and your staff are the absolute best."
