Joseph White was originally born in Cincinnati, Ohio but spent most of his life in Florida, in the Tampa area. He earned his undergraduate and medical degree at the University of South Florida, and then went on to do his residency in Illinois. Dr. White knew from the beginning of his medical journey that he wanted to work in surgery. He was especially attracted by the instruments and tools involved in ENT. He has a special interest in the management of sinusitis and chronic sinus diseases. Dr. White is trained in Transoral robotic surgery and has performed over 25 cases with the technology in residency.

I've always wanted to be a doctor." That was a consistent theme in Dr. Horton's life as he grew up. Change was the constant, as his family moved from Norfolk, Virginia to Midway Island in the Pacific and Huntsville, Alabama. He then lived in Memphis, Tennessee and Butzbach, West Germany before settling in Collierville, Tennessee. After graduating from high school, he arrived in Knoxville to attend the University of Tennessee and fell in love with East Tennessee. With a degree from UT in hand, he returned to Memphis for his MD degree from the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences.

Dr. Rosenbaum first became interested in medicine while doing volunteer work in a community health program as a high school student. His attraction to the field intensified in college through a part-time job in a biology lab. A research project in the ear, nose and throat (ENT) department at the University of Chicago convinced him to choose otolaryngology as his medical specialty.
