My decision to become a physician stemmed from my interest in learning about the human body and educating others about their health. It gives me pleasure to build lifelong relationships and care for individuals at all stages of life. I strive to build a physician-patient partnership based on effective communication and trust. By listening to my patients, answering their questions, and equipping them with the appropriate resources and knowledge, I hope to motivate them to actively manage their health and wellness as we navigate together to achieve the best health outcomes. With my additional training in women's health, menopause care, and obesity medicine, I understand the intricacies of caring for women of all ages and take a comprehensive approach to help patients achieve a healthy weight. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, exploring hiking trails, reading books that inspire me, and spending time with family and friends.

Dr. White explained in great detail what her plan was for my radiology test needed, recommended a nurse appt as a follow up for one concern and made good suggestions for an over the counter solution which could help as well.
