Emily White, M.D., is a board-eligible otolaryngologist with INTEGRIS Health Edmond hospital in Edmond, Oklahoma.
Dr. White received her medical degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and completed her otolaryngology head and neck surgical residency at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City.
From a young age Dr. White knew she wanted to be a surgeon. She grew up assisting her father, a veterinarian, in the operating room and knew it was an area she could excel in. However, over the course of her medical training she discovered how much she enjoyed taking care of and getting to know patients. Otolaryngology, head and neck surgery (ENT) was the perfect field for her because unlike many other surgical fields, she is able to offer patients a wide variety of medical treatment options in addition to surgery when it is necessary/beneficial. Many conditions of the ear, nose and throat often require longer term management, which means she gets to develop a lasting relationship with her patients.
"I strive to listen to my patient's concerns, use the latest technology to perform comprehensive exams, and then work with each patient to come up with an individualized treatment plan that meets their needs. Improving my patient’s quality of life is the most rewarding part of what I do."
Dr. White loves to travel and experience new places. She has visited 31 countries and more than 30 states. Her goal is to travel to all 50 states and seven continents. She loves scuba diving, learned to dive in Samoa and Fiji, and now enjoys it wherever there is water. She is currently exercising her green thumb with outdoor landscaping and a growing collection of indoor plants. Lastly, she loves spending time with her family and friends.
