Dr Jonathon White

Jonathon White is one of New Zealand’s most highly skilled Structural Heart Specialists having trained at Auckland, North Shore and Middlemore Hospitals and the Columbia University Medical Center (New York, USA), under the guidance of some of the world’s most experienced interventional cardiologists at home and abroad. 

Following his training, Jonathon became the first ever New Zealander to be recruited as staff to the Structural Heart team at the Cleveland Clinic - the top ranked Cardiovascular Medicine institution in the United States for over 25 years. Jonathon has worked alongside many of the leading experts in this field and has performed thousands of transcatheter valve, structural heart and coronary interventions.

He has now brought his passion for excellence and international experience home and is achieving premium outcomes for his patients at The Heart Group, Intra (formerly Mercy Angiography) and Auckland Hospital.

Jonathon has a particular interest in working with patients and their families who have complex coronary and valvular disease, caring for them all the way from initial evaluation through to recovery after any necessary cardiac interventions.

“It is a great privilege to care for New Zealanders with heart disease. I strive for world-class outcomes for Kiwis with complex valvular and coronary heart disease but understand that technical excellence is only a small part of what it takes to achieve this. I help my patients by working alongside them and their loved ones to truly understand their health goals and treat them as I would wish to be treated”

If he seems familiar, you may have seen Jonathon in his past role as an international rugby referee. These days however, you are more likely to see him on the sidelines with his wife Anna, watching his four children play sport.
