Great all right treatment from consultation, shoulder surgery and post surgery follow ups.
Dr White was very clear, giving me different options, understanding which one fits my line of work.
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!
Timely appointment. Everything clearly explained and even illustrated. I hope I don't have to return but certainly will if needs must.
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.
I am very satisfied with my consultation and treatment with Dr White
Follow up after my surgery, which went amazingly well, seen quickly and very happy
Mr White has been incredibly supportive and thorough during my follow up check up after surgery. I really appreciate how attentively he listen to my concerns and he explain everything clearly without rushing especially my English is not good. He is calm and professional manner puts me at ease and feelgenuinely cared for. Thank you
It was very helpful experience. Dr White is really kind and helpful. He is the best
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.

Orthopaedic SurgeonJames is a fantastic guy with a huge amount of respect for patients and their needs. I am always more than happy to refer anyone to him for a surgical shoulder opinion with the knowledge that they will always come back happy and with their condition fully explained and with a plan of action that is bespoke to them.
