WALLACE WHITE, M.D.
Originally published in 1900 |
|
WALLACE WHITE, M.D., of West Hoboken, Hudson County, N. J.,
where he is in the enjoyment of a large professional practice, and holds the
office, in the line of his profession, of Town Physician, is universally regarded
as one of the most enterprising and public spirited gentlemen in the
community. Although he has been engaged in practice in West Hoboken
but about five years, he has become one of the best known physicians and
surgeons in Hudson County, and has among his patients members of many
of the oldest and wealthiest families in the county. Dr. White has established
a wide reputation for skill as a surgeon, having had remarkable success with this class of cases. His work in connection with diseases of
children has also been especially notable. His office is completely
equipped, moreover, with electrical appliances for every form of treatment
of diseases of the ear, nose, and throat. He also conducts a general practice.
He is enthusiastic in original scientific investigation, and is progressive
and enterprising. In illustration of this trait it may be noted that he
is the only physician in Hudson County who has equipped himself with a
complete electrical outfit for taking photographs by means of the Roentgen
rays, or " X-ray." He has succeeded in a number of cases, by means of this
device, in locating bullets or other foreign matter in the bodies of patients,
in cases where no other expedient known to medical science would have
been successful. He is a native of Paterson, N. J., where he was born during the progress of the Civil War. He attended the public schools of Paterson and Princeton Preparatory School, and in 1893 was graduated from the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons--the Medical Department of Columbia University. After his graduation he took a special course in midwifery in the Sloane Maternity Hospital of New York. Later he was in charge of the Outdoor Patient Department of Roosevelt Hospital in the same city, while he was likewise in charge of the Outdoor Children's Department of Bellevue Hospital. In 1895 he was the successful competitor among twelve candidates who engaged in competitive examination for the position of House Physician in Christ Hospital, Jersey City Heights. In this position he established such a reputation for skill that wealthy patients who had been treated by him at the hospital prevailed upon him to engage in private practice in West Hoboken.
