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.

Dr White had been my surgeon since 2016 and has performed a Cervical and Lumbar Fussion due to a slip and fall among other issues. I have been very satisfied with his treatment and bedside manner and trust him explicitly. Would recommend him him 100% to continue treating me in the future.

Left me disabled
After surgery he performed I could not stand straight or walk and left with no mobility in my right hand. I cannot work. He quit seeing me and left me this way and I contracted MRSA from the hospital. It’s been a nightmare.

Barely saw the doctor
Made an appointment to see the doctor weeks out due to severe back pain. Waited at the office for 45 min and was taken into a room. A 30 year old PA came in and told me that I had to talk to him instead of dr White. However, he would recommend and MRI but seemed negative about the diagnosis. Got the mri and returned with a new appointment for review. Again, the PA was reviewing the MRI and said the same thing as in the first appointment. Finally, Dr White comes in and did not look at the mri at all. He simply repeated what his young PA said and recommended a pain specialist. He was gone in 3 minutes. Here is a doctor who does not care about his patients at all. He acted like nothing can be done about this.

IN PAIN AND DISGUSTED – Dec 28, 2023

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.

let me start off by saying that if you’re looking for a very personable doctor, someone that is talkative and caters to your every need then Dr Jon White is probably not for you. My first meeting with him gave me the impression he was a bit errogant. Upon my third meeting he began to open up a little bit. I am so glad I stuck with Dr. White, he is an excellent doctor and the entire staff there is fantastic and so caring. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for all of them for helping me

There's likely no way I could list all the accolades here that come to mind concerning the care Dr. White has provided to me throughout my experience with him. My surgery involved four lumbar vertebrae. The operation was a success and has made my life more comfortable than it has been in 30 years.

Dr. White did everything humanly possible to repair my messed up lower back. He also had to clean up a mess left by a previous physician. He is forthright and honest and will tell you if you DO NOT need surgery. If it was not for Dr. White I would be in a wheel chair. Dr. White is the ONLY doctor I would ever let touch my back again!!

I was a new patient. I waited an hour for my appointment. Dr. White spent 5 minutes with me and was rushed. He talked over me and did not listen. He did a 1 minute exam and did not offer any solution or help. He should not take new patients if he does not have the time to properly meet with them and address their medical needs and concerns. I would absolutely never recommend him to anyone.

I had a spinal fusion surgery done by Dr. White. After consulting with numerous 1st Rate surgeons and surgical facilities...Dr White and his surgical team were the clear winners. His surgical ability is fantastic and I have made an amazing recovery.
