Physician Profile - DR White

A perfectionist is one who constantly strives to improve. He is not happy until he knows he has done his best. Dr. Steven J. White is guided by a principle he learned at an early age: "If you are going to do something... do it right." This simple philosophy has served him well both academically and professionally throughout his life. Raised on a ranch in Central Texas, he was influenced by both Texas and European culture. His interest in art stems from his European travel as a youth. Medicine was a natural career choice since it allowed him to pursue his love of science with his desire to help others.

Dr. White has distinguished himself among his peers at every level of his academic career. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Baylor University with Honors and later graduated Alpha Omega Alpha from Baylor College of Medicine with Honors. Alpha Omega Alpha, or AOA, is considered the "Phi Beta Kappa of medical school." It is a medical honor society that recognizes the top ten percent of medical students in the nation. Dr. White was further recognized for his achievement in medical school by his selection for Basic Science Honors, a distinction reserved for the top students in each class.

His interest in surgery grew from his fascination with human anatomy. Dr. White's surgical career was shaped by many highly acclaimed surgeons. While in Houston, he was honored to have operated with and learned from two of the most famous surgeons of our time: Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Denton Cooley. During his many years of surgical residency in two specialties, he was also fortunate to have trained under several world-renowned plastic surgeons.

Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. White is one of the few plastic surgeons in the United States certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgery. He dedicated 8 years to residency training (after medical school) in order to be fully trained in both specialties. Dr. White received his training in Otolaryngology (ENT or Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery) at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. He then returned to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston for his residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. White is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. He is also a member of the Double Boarded Society as well as numerous other medical societies.
