About Ian White

I believe that open communication, mutual trust and uncompromising compassion are the bedrocks of the patient-physician relationship. Rather than dictate care, treatment should be a dialogue between surgeon and patient where both are equal parties in decision making. Crucial to this is ensuring patients are adequately educated about their treatment options so they can make informed decision about their care.

    The ratings and comments seen on provider profiles are gathered from patient surveys, which are conducted by an independent patient satisfaction organization called Press Ganey. Star ratings are only displayed for surveyed Overlake providers who have accumulated 30 or more survey responses in outpatient clinical settings. While we are committed to publishing both positive and negative comments, we also maintain a rigorous process to review and remove comments that are profane, libelous, unrelated to the provider, or violate patient privacy.

      Dr White is great! One of the best doctors I've ever encountered. He really listens and he fixed a problem I've had for 20 years. When I brought it up to previous doctors they said what I was describing couldn't possibly make me as anemic as I was. Dr White actually investigated and surgically fixed the problem. I feel the best I've felt in over 20 years. He changed my life.

      It was difficult to find a vein in either arm and I ended up have four try's, (one vein that was used ended up collapsing and it hurt-the fourth try worked. I had two very bad burses, one on my left hand and the other on my right arm that are still healing after 11 days. Perhaps having a warming devise to help the veins enlarge would be a good addition.
