After having to leave Surfside to go to Kaiser, we were thrilled to be able to return to Surfside. That is until we had two very disappointing appointments with Dr. White. Disappointing in the sense that Dr. White displayed a complete lack of professionalism and a complete lack of awareness has to how the "advice" may be received. Let me explain. The display of unprofessionalism came when Dr. White felt it was appropriate to use swear words during my son's visit. Maybe he was trying to relate, appear cool to a young teen, bu... read more

My children are patients of Dr. Lowen and where happy with her. My daughter had a physical scheduled last week but with everything going on I figured they'd call me to reschedule. I can't imagine my doctor wanting me to bring my child in for a routine visit and unnecessarily expose them to anything out there. But to my surprise they wanted me to still bring her in. I refused and when I asked for their reasoning, I was informed by the young lady that Dr. White still wanted to see full schedule of patients which I though was n... read more

After waiting for 2 months, my child was denied treatment because I didn't have "custody papers". Not another family member in the waiting room was even asked this question...trust me, I asked every single one of them. My child has lived with me for 6 years. Their only concern was what their "lawyer" had told them. If, at ANY time, during the multiple phone calls, or the 30 minute wait, they had asked me for legal papers, I would have been happy to provide them. Unfortunately, I took time off from work, waited 2 months, and ... read more

I hate to go against the grain but I guess we were one of the few with a not so great experience at Surfside about 1.5 years ago, specifically with Dr. White. We decided to switch from our usual family practice because they were between pediatricians at the time our son was born. A friend recommended Dr. White and he seemed very thorough and somewhat holistic so we gave Surfside a try. When the baby was born we brought him in for a checkup and he was pretty yellow with jaundice. Dr. White looked at him and was very concerned... read more

I went to Dr. White a few days after my son was born. I was having difficulty breastfeeding and Dr. White was not understanding. My baby would not latch and I already hired a Lactation consultant to help. He told me to basically starve my son and force him to breastfeed. He also wanted me to hire HIS lactation consultant. When I told him i was pumping and giving formula, he told me I was taking the easy route. After two appointments and wasted co pays, I switched to another doctor.

My wife and I have been bringing our children to Kevin White for 2.5 years. Today she had a scheduled appontment and showed up 3 minutes past the time allowed. They were unable to see my son. My wife specifically took time off from work to attend this appointment. How many times have we waited 20 minutes in the waiting room? At least 5x that I can remember. Word of advice to Dr. White fire Karen the front desk manager unless you like turning away clients. As far as Dr. White is concerned he could talk to me for 5 minutes but... read more
