Dr. Whites changed the trajectory of mine & my husband lives back in 2009. We were his patients from 2009 until he retired. He was truly one of a kind.

Dr. Whites was a life saver. I met him years ago while working at Bradford. I learned a lot about addiction and predisposition. Through his education, I learned that addiction is a disease. We had many a "spirited" conversation around politics and AL football! My condolences.

Dr. Whites was a wonderful doctor and a wonderful person. He freely shared his vast knowledge and his wonderful sense of humor and his love and caring for his patients and his staff. I was fortunate to have worked with him and I learned so much. He was dedicated and committed to his patients, his profession, and his family. God Bless You All. Love, Debbie Blackmon Purcell

I worked with Dr Jack for many years at the Doleys clinic. One rare time we were running late seeing a patient. The fella came into the office complaining & fussing about having to wait and that his time was valuable too that he needed to find another doctor. Dr Jack kindly picked up his chart responding, "You are so right!! I wouldn´t waste my time waiting to see me either. Where do you want me to send your chart?"The man hung his head saying, " Oh Dr Whites you know I didn´t mean.You are the best doctor I have ever seen."
Dr Jack was always kind but firm. Always sharing his knowledge . He taught me a lot about medicine , addiction & life.
I have so many stories that just make me smile. He shared many stories about his family that he loved deeply. My heart is heavy.
I hope his family can find some comfort in knowing how many lives he touched .

This is Jerry Crowder. I worked Dr. Jack Whites for over 30 years.
He was a very respected and trusted friend and a great physician. He was loved by everyone, including staff and patients and had a bedside manner that helped many of our patients to relieve their initial fears and apprehensions. He was a very solid and fine human being and a pleasure to be around. He is missed by us all.

I worked with Dr. Whites for over 20 years . He was our medical director at a local treatment center.
Given the tumult that could occur , Dr. Whites was a person I could talk with and confide in and he was always helpful and supportive in his response.
When I look back on my life, there have been a few great men. Dr. Whites is one of them.
God bless you Dr. Whites!
