Dr. Heidi K. White
Overview
It is a great privilege to see older adult patients in consultation and to work with them, their families, and their primary care physicians to ensure the highest quality of health and wellness. I am especially interested in the care of those with cognitive difficulties, those who struggle with mood changes, and those who find themselves serving as caregivers to others.

As a physician, I strive to create a partnership with my patients, aiming to optimize their medical conditions while respecting their personal preferences to help each older adult maintain autonomy. I grew up in Central Texas and had a close relationship with my grandmother, which taught me at an early age to appreciate how much older adults value independence.
