About Mr James White

Mr James White, Consultant Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon, works with the Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and provides private services at, The Lister Hospital Chelsea, The Shard- London Bridge Hospital, King Edward VIIs Hospital and Chiswick Outpatient Centre. He is fully specialised in arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and upper limb trauma (shoulder/elbow/wrist). He endeavours to use non-operative techniques when possible. He has an excellent record of good outcomes from his surgery, rejecting a one-fit-all approach.

Mr White qualified in 2007 from University College London Medical School, before going on to start his specialist training on the Northwest London Programme in Trauma and Orthopaedics. Afterwards, he went on to complete several fellowships at Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Centre in Exeter and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London, both highly respected institutions.

Mr White has a significant publication history with numerous publications in medical journals and has presented his work internationally.  He has also co-authored several book chapters focusing on upper limb surgery and has contributed to the development of National Guidelines for distal radius fracture treatment for the British Orthopaedic Association.

Mr White was really helpful and understanding throughout, even when I felt the actual issue was not quite fully understood. However, through continuous discussion and investigation the final course of action and outcome have all been very positive. Thanks!

An excellent surgeon, who fully understood the condition and repaired the torn off tendon where other surgeons said it had retracted too far to repair, would fully recommend.
