Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Refused to talk w after referral by Dr Reynoldseyn
I was a patient at OrthoNeuro for over 18 months dealing with spine issues. Originally Dr White passed me off to Dr Reynolds after my first visit with OrthoNeuro. I saw Reynolds for 18 months and had many unsuccessful and short lived relief procedures that would take months to get approved and scheduled. On my final visit with Dr Reynolds I asked for a referral to a pain doctor since they refuse to treat the pain with any medicine between visits and asked why he never gave that option prior. His response was that i never said i was in pain. My response was, 'why am i here?' He then said he had nothing else to try and surgery was the only option left. He then scheduled me an appointment with Dr White. I showed up to see Dr White. He told me he couldn't do the surgey because I was too big for it (I gained close to 100lbs being mostly bed ridden for 18 months). He walked out and refused to talk. I have since found better doctors, pain control, lost 120lb, and planning a future.

I went to him for help, all he saw was a fat guy he couldn't get rid of quick enough. Said 'I don't have tools big enough to work on you' offered to refer me to a doctor at OSU that 'works on large people ' I have nothing good to say about him. All the other staff I interacted with was very friendly and polite.

Quite promising - first visit went well
Dr. White seemed to listen to what I had to say. This is very important because, frankly, many medical professionals do not. We met briefly for an initial consultation, at which he ordered additional testing and PT evaluation. After our next appointment, I will gave a better idea of his medical expertise and bedside manner, but so far so good. I was not displeased and am encouraged to have been treated with respect and understanding. His willingness to listen was a breath of fresh air.

OK but would have liked more time
I met his PA first who was very personable and meshed with me well. We got me some diagnostics I think I've probably needed for a long time. Second visit was with Dr. White himself and while he wasn't at all rude or unkind, it did feel a little rushed and I didn't feel like I was given as much detail or time for questions as I usually like to have. Very different from his PA. I know many patients prefer this style, but as I prefer to have a detailed conversation about results, there may be a personality mismatch. Also treatments offered seemed a bit drastic to leap to as a first resort. A less invasive option was agreed upon after I brought it up.

Won me over.....
I'll be honest, wasn't a fan of Dr White in the beginning, but this doctor has earned my trust and respect. He has now preformed two different surgeries on me. He has fixed my neck, two discs replaced and it feels better already in less than a year. Recently he did a right S.I. fusion, three weeks after surgery and its already showing a huge improvement. Much respect given to Dr White, he has helped improve life. Thank you...

First Appointment
Short wait time. Nice staff. Dr White was punctual and easy to speak to, and a better listener than some medical professionals. We went over my x-rays and discussed next steps, but decision was mutual. Altogether, I felt he was interested in helping me.

Patient
I have not had my surgery yet as I have an infection. I was upset at first because my surgery had to be cancelled until that cleared up. I was looking forward to eventually having some relief from the pain & the numbness in my predominate arm. DR White & his secretary Tammy were very patient with me & explained the dangers of having surgery with an infection. After my initial reaction of an 'ugly cry', I knew that they were right & that eventually the surgery will happen. I have full faith in Dr White to have my best interest at heart. I believe that I will be in Great hands for my surgery. It is hard to not have anxiety before a complex surgery, but I feel very comforted by DR White & Tammy that I will have that light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Great Surgeon and Man
Dr. White is talented, understanding and humble. He preformed a disc fusion on my husband (c4-c5). He was very easy to speak to, made sure we understood and answered our questions. He’s not typical. He made us feel like we were in the presence of a close family friend. My husband’s surgery has only been since early August. He has healed from the actual surgery. We are just waiting for the disc to fuse and to see if the decompression will allow his body to go back to the way it once was. We are grateful we don’t have to worry about paralysis now. May God Bless Dr. White. We are truly blessed to have found him.

Grateful patient
I am also a surgeon. Dr. White observed that I was walking with significant discomfort at the hospital. He promptly worked up the problem and provided excellent surgical care with an excellent outcome. I am extremely grateful. Any negative reviews are likely secondary to unreasonable expectations. I would absolutely return to Dr. White for future needs and he also has a tremendous reputation with all those who work directly with him.
