Dr White provided exceptionally careful and competent care for my skiing-related shoulder injury, explaining every step of the diagnosis and treatment plan in clear, reassuring detail. The targeted physiotherapy programme he recommended resolved my issues quickly and effectively with minimal intrusion, allowing me to return to full activity in no time.
Dr White has been looking at my case since May and has provided reassuring explanation for the issue I am experiencing, hoping that it will improve in time - however, he has kindly left his door open should i need to see him again and move onto next step towards healing fully.
Mr White is a kind, considerate and experienced consultant. He is a great communicator and I have been satisfied with all of my appointments. Recommend.

Had stabilisation surgery for a shoulder that regularly dislocated. Recovery from operation was quicker than I expected and joint feels much stronger and more stable than before. Very happy with results.
I had a very positive experience with my post-surgery follow-up appointment. The doctor was professional, attentive and took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt listened to and reassured throughout the appointment, and all my questions were answered thoroughly. The whole process was handled very efficiently, and I’m very happy with the care and support I received. I would definitely recommend the team to others.
Very helpful and everything was explained clearly. Hearing about my options was very reassuring.
Gave me all the information I wanted clearly and concisely

Mr White is a leading upper limb surgeon who is respected for his skill and patient care. We teach together on a national course for shoulder keyhole surgery and I have directly observed his considerable technical skill. I would encourage those with shoulder or elbow problems (including my own friends and relatives) to see his help.
