Audrey chose a career as a physician assistant because it allowed her the opportunity to acquire a deep understanding of medicine and use that knowledge to provide care to the community. And, while her family was filled with many artists and musicians, she was always encouraged to pursue medicine, making that passion her career. Audrey especially appreciates the opportunity to get to know her patients and learning new ways to deliver the care they need. With hearing loss prevalent on her mother’s side of her family, the care and technology around hearing loss has long held a special place in Audrey’s heart.

In medical school, Dr White was immediately drawn to surgery, but also wanted to have the opportunity to build relationships with his patients. The field of ENT allows him the ability to do both. He loves what he does. The ability to help people on a daily basis, both in the office and in the operating room, is very fulfilling. Dr White is thankful for the many mentors that have guided him during the course of his career, but his wife and parents have had the deepest and most meaningful impact on his life. He is intent on serving as a mentor for other medical students and residents, as well. His participation in numerous medical mission trips is another way he can give back.
