Find DOT physical exams
in Leonardo, NJ

It was the evening of July 3. I had experienced clogged sinuses along with gum and tooth pain previously but this time it was much worse than usual. This time I was also experiencing pain on swallowing.  Over a period of time (years) I was in a vicious cycle between my dentist, Endodontist, and ENT. No one could figure it out. The dentist and Endodontist felt that a back tooth might need extraction.  None of these were not respected practitioners.  So in going to Urgent Care at the Nathaniel Place location my expectations were modest.  But I felt awful.  The young woman that performed my intake was very professional and noted all my symptoms. Then PA Timothy While came in to examine me. He too was extremely professional. He LISTENED  carefully to all my symptoms - whole cloth - and noted as well the symptoms that I lacked, such as running a temperature.  My final helpful “add” to describing my symptoms to him was that “I just feel really crummy”.   PA White absolutely nailed the diagnosis.  He felt that it was sinus related and that a post nasal drip was causing inflammation and creating all this pain. He clearly EXPLAINED why he felt that this was the correct diagnosis. He prescribed a very short course of Prednisone plus a 14-day treatment with Fluticasone Proprionate.  Within one day of taking the Prednisone and using the spray I was on the mend.   I no longer felt anxious going into the holiday weekend.   Two dentists and an ENT couldn’t figure it out. Timothy White did.  I don’t often answer surveys and I am fairly critical in general. But, though belated, I felt it necessary to detail my experience and give a little more than “a shout out”.  In my humble opinion PA White would make a great D.O.  My best, Elena Schwartz
