Dr. White, and all of her staff and surgical team were the absolute best. Thank you all.
My experience was outstanding. Dr. Nicole white is one of the best Doctors in medicine. She cares about every patient and works to save lives. She is compassionate and such a credit to the medical profession her team is amazing. You are truly fortunate to have this incredible physician at UW medical center. She exemplifies what medical care should be and her team follows suit. This is what great healthcare should be.
I really liked Dr White. I am very sceptical of the medical profession as a whole. I avoid going to the doctor at all costs. I would trust myself in her hands in a heartbeat. That is really saying something.
I really appreciated the pictures from surgery and time that Dr. White took to go through said pictures with me.

The overall experience with Dr. Nicole White and the rest of the team of assistants and surgical assistance with my procedure was excellent. I really could not be happier about the process (except something out of their control, the fairly long wait for surgery).

Dr White is the most caring, compassionate I've ever met. Listened, explained the risks so I could understand and make a correct decision for my situation. I really liked her manner.
Dr White is always outgoing and personable. If I have to see a doctor regarding surgery, she's definitely at the top of my list!
I arrived early and was seen almost right away. Dr. White, the intern and nurse were very helpful and informative. I am looking forward to my surgery.
If I could give Dr. White a 10 out of 5, I would. She was excellent, came prepared, having reviewed my multiple scans ahead of time, and listened to all my history on this problem. And, best of all, maybe a solution to what has been multi-years of recurring stomach ache symptoms. Not sure yet, but I am ready to deal with the next stomach ache I get.
Wonderful experience with Dr. White and her team.
