Dr. White provides comprehensive care for patients with general neurological and neuro-oncological problems. He believes that high-quality patient care, respect for patients and their families, and providing the best treatment is the most important priority.
Dr. White studied biology/neuroscience at Lake Forest College where he graduated cum laude with honors in biology and distinction on his senior thesis involving research in Parkinson's disease. He then attended the University at Buffalo-Jacobs School of Medicine where he received the American Academy of Neurology Prize for Excellence in Neurology. He completed his internal medicine internship as well as neurology residency at Washington University in St. Louis/Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
He went on to complete a 3-year neuro-oncology fellowship at the Harvard Medical School/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Massachusetts General Hospital. During that time he completed a post-doctoral research program studying brain metastases in the lab of Priscilla Brastianos M.D. at the Harvard Medical School. Following completion of his training, he split his time between being a faculty neurologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital (a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital) and working in the biotechnology industry where he was part of a team managing multiple global clinical trials of new drugs as well as the acquisition and clinical development of newly discovered therapeutics.
In 2020, Dr. White returned to central New York with the goal of providing cutting-edge neurological and neuro-oncological care to a region underserved in both of these areas. In addition to providing general neurological care, Dr. White is the only neurologist in the region with specialized training in the care of brain metastases and the neurological complications of cancer. He has published multiple positive clinical trials in top-tier medical journals about his brain metastasis work, as well as developed new methods for the diagnosis of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
