Mr White did complex spinal surgery on me in June 23. He was very comforting before the operation and had a very professional demeanour. After waking up from the operation, I was able to walk again, my speech was restored, all of the problems I had before had gone away. I can't thank Mr White enough for giving me a second chance in life. Hitherto, almost 3 months after my operation, everything is going well, I am so grateful to Mr White for everything that he has done.

Mr White is amazing! Even years after performing my surgery (which resulted in giving me my life back!) he has reviewed my symptoms and offered me various ways to check what next steps I need to take to try and relieve these symptoms. Mr White ALWAYS goes above and beyond! I will always be eternally grateful to him and his team!! I would always recommend him and trust him with my life! Thank you Mr White. Caroline G

I have a Chiari Malformation Mr White operated on me on 26.07 23. My surgery was called Posterior fossa decompression. I had been seeing Mr White for a good few years with regards to the symptoms my chiari was causing. For a long time Mr White told me I was nowhere near surgery (something I was over the moon to hear ). Then for the last couple years Mr White offered me surgery I declined. Due to nerves..Then at the begining of 23 I decided to accept Mr Whites offer. He asked me in to see him. He is by far the most knowledgeable, calm, empathetic and honest clinician I have ever spoken to. He always speaks to me in a respectful manner and never belittles my concerns or comments. I have never had surgery before and knew that if I had not had Mr White as my surgeon I would never have gone ahead with the op. I also found Mr Whites secretary Lauren to be professional, helpful and incredibly efficient.The day of the op the pre op team were all lovely and from what I remember the theatre team were also efficient, professional and friendly. On the post op ward D9 the care was outstanding. Mr White came highly recommended to me and I can 100% recommend him to anyone else. It's early days yet in my recovery but Mr White I think you may well have given me my life back. Thank you.

My consultation with Mr White was outstanding. He was completely patient centred throughout my consultation, listening to my back story and answering my questions. His communication skills were of the highest standard as he explained everything with clarity to me and my husband in terms that each of us understood. This takes much skill. Mr White shared his extensive neurosurgical experience, expertise and knowledge with me regarding my diagnosis and together we made a plan for my future care. This shared decision making was expertly done and much appreciated by me as it is so important as a patient to be involved in decisions regarding your care. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr White. He has an excellent bedside manner and this consultation was an excellent patient experience for me.

I first met Mr White 13 years ago after being transferred from Oxford. Mr White was a specialist in a condition I had. I was experiencing deteriorating neurological symptoms that had been going on for a number of years. When I arrived at Nottingham, Mr White explained my condition, that it was (at the time) rare and I was going to get stepwise worse and eventually I would become paralysed! I was in total shock, this was the first time hearing the extent of the condition and where I was going to be if not treated quickly. I had no idea! Even though I was transferred from another Neurosurgery Department! Mr White has been the first Dr/Consultant who never made me feel like I wasn’t worth saving, never judging me. He is patient, calm and explains everything in a kind and caring manner, simply, so it can be understood. Mr White performed my surgery promptly, halted the deterioration and saved my legs, gaining some unexpected improvement! I’ve been so lucky to have been transferred to a genuine superstar! Grateful doesn’t cover it! No one knows our bodies better than us and Mr White has always listened and trusted what I have said, so there was no doubt in my mind that when I started to present with deteriorating symptoms again in August 2021 that I would go back. Thanks to his careful monitoring he is trying to offer me a permanent solution and I’m on the path to recovery again. I have utter faith in his care. I have been in and out of the QMC a few times now and I have experienced exceptional care, from Mr White, his team, Doctors, Nurses, Healthcare Assistance’s and not forgetting the tea person, who’s regular visits with chats and treats brighten the days! I can’t thank Mr White enough or his team, saying “Thank You” never seems enough. Thank you Mr White for being patient with me and I’m sorry for being a total nightmare! I will always be forever grateful.
