      Patrick Brian White, M.D. was one of the most professional and knowledgeable physicians I have visited in the eleven years since I moved here from Southern California where I knew all my physicians. I always knew them because my father was an Internal Medicine Specialist and Cardiologist as well as being Chief of Staff of Long Beach Medical Center. I have found many great physicians at Community North and Juanita Albright, M.D. from Ascension/ St. Vincent's recommended me to see Dr. White. During my visit with Dr. White, he asked me many questions to understand the problem I was seeing him for. Then - during the examination - Dr. White told me everything he would be doing - before he did it and I felt most comfortable during this examination for I felt safe & secure in what he was doing. After the rectal examination, I was dressed and ready to discuss the exam itself - Dr. White took much time using actual models to show me what he had done and what seemed to be amiss. He then told me options to assist me with this rectal problem. His nurse was very helpful and reassuring during the entire exam for she was right by my side and made me feel less anxious as the rectal exam proceeded. His nurse also took care of ordering the physical therapy for me. The physical therapist called the very next day, and I was able to get started the next week with the physical therapy Dr. White ordered. I was most impressed with everything Dr. White discussed about my rectal issues. I consider him a respected and knowledgeable Rectal and colon Specialist.
