Extensive experience in general practice was gained in Esperance from 1985, with him training in Obstetrics at King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth In 1987.

Dr White has practiced broadly in general practice and provided all aspects of general practice, women's health, men's health, paediatric care, obstetrics, office surgery, hospital minor surgery, hospital admissions, accident and emergency and home visits.

His interest in sports medicine developed early in his general practice career where it was obvious that medical school training did not cover this area well. He achieved a certificate in spinal manipulative therapy before progressing to study for a Masters degree in sports medicine.

Since that time, Dr White has been providing a specialised sports medicine practice to the South West in both Margaret River as well as in Bunbury. He now provides this full time in Bunbury. He attends regular conferences and improves his skills and knowledge through study and teaching.
