Kelly White, MD

This guy is AWESOME but is no longer practicing as of December 2014.

Great Dr. I have seen Dr White for the last 4 – 5 years since Dr Tomberg left.
nothing but great comments for Dr White and of course with the news he’s leaving am bummed out. I have to comment about the 1 star review from David C, and knowing the insurance industry, the reviewer should have aimed his comments at the clinic /​insurance issue. The billing and insurance is the healthcare cost nightmare we all live with. Doctors are dealing with it the best they can, and have little control over billing and visit pricing.
Back to Dr Whites review he has been awesome, caring, and one if not the best Dr I’ve had as a «middle aged» male. I wish there were more Drs and people like him!
I wish him all the best in his next move.

Read this. Something similar happened to me when I had a physical from him.

Incompetent and EXTREMELY rude office staff. Doctor White was fine. The staff are terrible.

The five star trend is not a coincidence with Dr. White. I tend to feel nervous at the doctors, so I avoided going to see one for an ongoing issue I had. I happened across the polyclinic for an acute problem. The second he walked in the door, no like literally a second after the nurse was done, he made me feel comfortable and validated. The random doctors I have seen in the past for typical issues, sports injuries, colds, etc, made me feel rushed out the door. He took the time and really listened to what was going on and what my concerns were. After this acute issue was resolved, I decided to see him for the ongoing problem. Since then, he has made me feel like we are working as a team to find the solution. He got me excited about participating in my health and next thing you know, I am actually not nervous but now content when its time to make an appointment. If you want a doctor who is compassionate, funny and incredibly knowledgeable, Dr. White is the man for the job!

Great doctor! I’m a patient at the PolyClinic and when I needed to see a doctor ASAP my regular physician didn’t have any appointments available. Which was to be expected as I was looking to be seen that same day. I was pointed in the direction of Dr. White and within 2 hours I found myself in an exam room waiting to meet him. Once we popped in to chat I felt totally at ease. Really kind, really knowledgable and really patient, I thought he was an absolutely awesome doctor. I had suffered an infection on a finger due to a bad manicure and he was quick to offer advice on keeping the swelling down, writing an RX for some antibiotics and explained what to expect insofar as pain, complications and healing time. Nothing major but definitely worth the rushed visit — his expertise was invaluable and while I hope not to have to see him again for a long, long time, I know he’ll help me if I need it.

I will have to concur with the other reviewers, Dr. White is an awesome doctor.
I have been going to Polyclinic for almost 8 years. Dr. Tomberg was my doctor at the time and he was just amazing. Sadly he left to start a practice closer to home and that left us patients wondering if there will ever be a doctor that would be as kind, caring and patient as he was. And there was! Dr. White!
I tried one doctor before Dr. White, I don’t remember her name but I did not like her. She was cold and dismissive and I just noticed she is no longer there anyway. I was starting to look for a family doctor elsewhere, but thought I would give it another try since I was still seeing Dr. Zook (dermatologist).
I finally saw Dr. White for a general check-​up and he so warm and friendly when we met. Although he is a guy doctor I feel very comfortable with him and that’s not very common. Dr. White is very thorough it seems and his explains his diagnosis in lay terms so I understand what’s going on, he even goes as far as drawing pictures.
Anyway, I’m suddenly wondering if I should even post this. Once people get wind of awesome docs like Dr. White it starts getting hard to see him. But he totally deserves all the positive referrals!

Dr. White is a doctor who genuinely cares for his patients. He responds to questions with thought and consideration. He also listens to at least this patient on what I want. He and his staff use tablet computers to write notes and prescriptions, illustrate problems, and document everything. Seamless, high tech care here! Appointments are recommended but for people that Dr. White has seen I know that you should be able to squeezed in if it something that requires immediate attention but not life threatening, for that please call 911.

Dr. White is AMAZING! I have been a patient at the Polyclinic for over 6 years and have seen him a bazillion times. While I am not a complete hypochondriac, I am pretty sure I have visited once or twice based on fiction. Regardless of fact or fiction illness, Dr. White takes the time to figure it out! He is a caring, kind and compassionate Doctor who knows his stuff! He is very calming, and has talked me off the ledge on at least one occasion. I have never felt like another «number,» but an actual person, with needs different from those of the person who had the appointment right before me! I found Dr. White when I first moved here — based on location to my work — super duper lucky break for me! I have recommended him to several friends, and will continue to do so! Double thumbs up!

Dr. White is great, I came in with a bunch of questions and he was very patient in going through every single thing and recommending possible courses of treatment. He has a very calming demeanor and made sure that the not-​so-​fun parts of the annual exam was done quickly and with as least pain as could be managed. Overall I am a fan :)

One of the best physicians I have ever seen! I was lucky enough to find him at the downtown Polyclinic just as I moved to Seattle, and I plan to stay with him as long as possible! I am usually not a huge fan of doctors in general, but he has a very calming, respectful demeanor. He always takes the time to sit down, put the chart aside, and truly get to the heart of what is happening. Whether I have come in with something simple or more involved, he has always given more time and attention than I expected. I feel that he is very careful before making recommendations or writing RXs, and always asks for my input and thoughts. I wish they all could be like Dr. White!
