Dr. White's Patient Story:

I just wanted to let you know that some of your work has recently graced the pages of Playboy's Special Edition Magazine. I feel as though I need your business cards to pass out because I have SO many women asking who the awesome artist was. I have one girlfriend who has already gotten her surgery done with you and she could not be happier as well as another coming to see you this August! You are an amazing surgeon!
