Dr. Brian J. White was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware.  He attended Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia for undergraduate and then received his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine.  He then completed his Orthopaedic surgical training at New York University and the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York City.  Dr. White’s training provided an excellent and broad foundation with a focus on hip and knee replacement.  It also allowed him as a senior resident to complete an Orthopaedic Trauma rotation at R. Cowley Adams Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, MD where he learned advanced techniques in fracture management.  With this base, he enhanced his training with a Sports Medicine fellowship at the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic in Vail, Colorado.  Dr. White worked with established mentors, such as Dr. Steadman and Dr. Philippon.  He learned advanced arthroscopic approaches to cartilage restoration, ACL reconstruction, hip labral repair and the management of femoroacetabular impingement, as well as both open and arthroscopic reconstruction techniques of the shoulder.  Dr. White is a candidate member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery and a member of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine.

My approach to treating patients

I was drawn to medicine and Orthopaedic surgery as a result of my personal experience as an orthopaedic patient when I was in high school.  I believe this has helped me to become a more compassionate and empathetic physician.   My goal with you as a patient is to help you understand your Orthopaedic diagnosis and all of the possible treatments, both non-operative and surgical, for this problem.  Once this is done, we together can decide what is the best possible treatment option for you.  When we make this partnership, outcomes are improved and your expectations will be met.
