Opening quotation mark
We recently moved to SC and had to find a new Dermatologist. Dr. White was recommended to us and we are extremely pleased. Dr White and his staff are so professional, kind, and caring. I would recommend Dr.White and his staff to anyone needing a GREAT Dermatologist.
Dr. White gave me the very best care! I had a bbc on my face and I was very concerned about having scar. Dr. White was able to work on a very difficult area next to my nose and I don’t think I’m going to have a visible scar. Within a few days after the stitches were removed, it was obvious that Dr. White is GOOD at what he does. He spent a lot of time stitching me up, and he was very supportive. Dr. White is a very skilled surgeon and I am very grateful that I am one of his patients!
Dr. White is amazing, his skill at Botox & Juvedern is truly a ‘5’!!!!!!!!!
My mouth is youthful looking and my forehead is smooth (I even had my haircut to show off my forehead).
I highly recommend Dr. White and his staff.
