Mr Barrie White

Written by a NHS patient at Queen's Medical Centre

I had back pain for years which escalated in 2005 and had to pay for my own MRI as my GP prescribed painkillers! This showed a meningioma in my spinal canal and Mr White was the expert. I wrote to Mr White after the surgery thanking him for operating within two weeks and the excellent care I had received. Recently, I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and received a spinal epidural which sadly has been unsuccessful. Dr Czernicki, who performed the epidural, asked if he could remember me to Mr White which resulted in my receiving another letter from Mr White. He had obviously looked at my MRI and wrote a very caring letter wishing me well. This man is amazing.

From our first meeting through complex surgery and whilst still hospitalised Mr White was the most caring surgeon my wife and I have ever met. His great surgical skill was to be expected, but his patient care was quite exceptional. Thank you so much.

I wish to thank Barrie and his whole team who gave me such excellent care at QMC. Everything was explained to me in a way l could understand, l was aware of the complex surgery l was to undergo. I now feel a new person having suffered back pain for the last 40 years. Post op. My right leg returned to normal. I can stand up and walk straight. I am not incontinent. I’m taking things slowly as advised. The difference the operation has made to my life is immense and the alternative unthinkable. At no time did l feel unduly worried even though l knew the risks to having the operating ion. I had full confidence in Barrie. I respected the Derby doctor’s comment when he said he hadn’t the expertise to do the operation and Barrie White had the expertise. I could not think of a better outcome. Thank you.

I saw Mr White on the 7/2/22 after being referred from the Derby royal l was very pleased with my consultation as he explained everything in a manner which I could understand. There was a problem accessing my imaging and he assured me he would get to the bottom of it all and true to his word he did he has a great manner and will be truly missed when he eventually decides to retire.I would like to take this opportunity again for seeing me and for seeing me so promptly well done his team

After a bad fall, I had years of right shoulder pain. When I was unable to lift a large glass of wine with my right arm, I went to several gps. One said it could be a neck injury. A doctor recommended Mr Barrie White. I cannot praise him highly enough for his professional care. I am overwhelmed by his professional brilliance and kindness in explaining things to me. I hope for no surgery! My right arm is weak but I am happy to know the facts.
