Jon I. White's Online Review Report Card

Please avoid this Dr. he made a surgery in my spine, to clean it, because I had sepsis, he left me with drop food, and the screws that he put in my spine are getting out, he left me an IVC filter, that it has to be removed.

I had a snowboard accident and subsequently broke my c5 and c6. Dr. White was very helpful in explaining what needed to be done, the process and the recovery. After my surgery I was instantly relieved of my pain and on the road to recovery. 6 months later I was surfing and snowboarding again. Every time I see him he reassures me with his professionalism that I chose the right Doc with. I highly recommend him and his practice.

After reading the reviews I was hesitant to go to him. Myself being in the medical field I asked other health care providers what they thought and they had nothing but great reviews about him. The only thing I was bothered about was he sent his PA's to see me in hospital. I never saw him until my post op visit almost 4 weeks from my surgery. I guess that's how things are done now. Other that that I was very pleased.

I went in for a revision and ended up with my right hand paralyzed and MERSA in my spine. Not recommended.

He was very quick to diagnose and act. After 6 months of several different types of treatments and seeing many other specialists, Dr. White got to the root of the problem quickly and put me in surgery within 3 weeks to alleviate me of my back pain. Though I was scared it was a pleasant experience.

Dr White was abrupt, detached, stand-offish, cold. He didn’t seem to care one bit that I was in pain. He was in a huge hurry. He asked a few narrowly focused yes/no questions. He made it clear he didn’t have time for me to say anything at all. He spent about 5 min with me at my consultation (1st appt with him). He may be a good surgeon, but I did not like his bedside manner and I will not be going back.

This man claims to be a physician and healer doesn't even touch the patient. He looks at the MRI or CT and asks questions but usually doesn't wait for the answers. He makes assumptions leading to extreme solutions, like surgery first, rather than possible more conservative options. He trashs previous surgeon's work and then discusses it with others outside the exam room. He is very arrogant and guarded in his behavior. It's to bad that he's part of a orthopedic group that is very highly rated. I don't know how he got in!

Dr. White has been treating my husband for many years. He has received excellent medical care. Dr. Whites careful and timely testing led to an early Cancer discovery, which has literally saved his life. Previously, Dr. White quickly determined my husband had a cada equina sydrome, which he treated before more severe complications occurred.

Dr. White performed my cervical surgery last year. Before I tell my story, Dr. White and his staff are fabulous. Everyone listens, I never felt rushed and everyone was very caring. Dr. White took a copy of my Xray and drew on it to show me what he was going to do. Backstory: I had surgery the year before with a different doctor that botched the surgery and loosened another appliance I had in my neck at C5/6 he did 7 years before. When the pain started again he didn't listen and said my MRI looked ok and it's probably arthritis and start Gabapentin again. I got an epidural injection-no relief. I went to Dr. White after talking with my pain doctor. Dr. White ordered a mylogram and nerve conduction test to see if the MRI was not showing something. I had new nerve damage and the mylogram shows the cage was loose and I was getting bone spurs from the previous surgery impinging my nerves. In the end, I had to have 12 screws, plates and rods put in my neck to stabilize it. And I lost a 3rd disc. I was so angry with the other doctor but in the end I think I got a better outcome with Dr. White than I would have going to Dr. Palmer for the 3rd time.

I was a new patient, waited for the whole hour for a 10 min superficial exam. This Doctor had no idea how to wear a mask properly, and was coughing all the time. I have no plans to see him again.
