I was under the care of Dr White during a recent admission to Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham. I have a Grade 3 Astrocytoma and associated cyst, which had been causing me big problems - headaches, sickness, loss of feeling down one side. Dr White was very reassuring and the first doctor to talk about a personalised care plan specific to my needs. This made me feel like an individual and that my care would address the problems rather than the steroid approach that I have been on for many months now. Dr White was attentive and patient. He spent a good deal of time with me in the hospital and talked through each detail of my care during admission, explained it clearly in language I could understand, and he listened. He also talked of options within my care which until now have not been discussed - this has given me hope and confidence that my care will be thorough and that I will be core to the decision making process. I have recently been transferred to the medical team in Nottingham and my experience with Dr White has given me much needed confidence for the future.
