Dr. Jonathon Whitehead, M.D., is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in hand and upper extremity surgery, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. He joined Southlake in 2025 and is dedicated to working with each of his patients to develop a personalized care plan that restores them to their best selves.
A native of Hoover, Alabama, and a graduate of Hoover High School, he attended Auburn University and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences. He earned his medical degree from The University of South Alabama College of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Arnold P. Gold Humanism in Medicine Honor Society. Following medical school, Dr. Whitehead completed his residency training in orthopaedic surgery at the Medical College of Georgia. Following residency, Dr. Whitehead received additional specialized training, completing a Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Dr. Whitehead has always enjoyed helping people and using his hands to fix things. He spent many summers working with his dad in construction. Years later, he found many of the same elements he enjoyed about construction- structure, spatial awareness, fixing- were also incorporated into medicine. He finds the hand to be intricate and fascinating, and he enjoys both the variety of surgery and the precision required in hand and upper extremity surgery.
When he is not seeing patients, Dr. Whitehead enjoys spending time with his family, especially in the outdoors, and grilling and watching football.
Dr. Whitehead is available to see patients at both our Grandview and Hoover office locations.

I had a great experience with Dr. Whitehead. He took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything in a way that was clear and easy to understand. I never felt rushed during the appointment, and he made sure all of my questions were answered. I left the visit feeling much more reassured and confident about the next steps in my care. I really appreciated the way he approached the appointment and would highly recommend him. The entire office was kind and very efficient! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent explanation of my arthritic wrist and what my options are. The staff are all very sweet, too
Awesome personality
Takes his time and answers any question you might have. Also, he likes to explore all options before saying surgery is needed.
He seemed to be very thorough in his diagnosis and treatment. I am pleased.
Very professional and personable. First procedure has helped so much. Looking forward to relief for my other hand soon. Thank you for all you have suggested and done so far.
