Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been a patient of Dr. Westerheide over several years. He has helped me with knee pain issues, meniscus tears in each knee, and more recently plantar fasciitis. Dr. Weaterheidi has always taken the time to explain the condition, via x-ray, the remedy, and how long the remediation may take. Dr. Westerheide is very thorough in his procedures. I would totally recommend him to family, friends, and anyone seeking orthopedic and or sports injury related issues.

I had both of my hips replaced, about a year apart, by Dr. Westerheide. He did a fantastic job on both occasions. The last one was virtually pain free and I did not have to use prescription pain medicine. It feels great not to have the severe pain that I had before the surgeries. I would highly recommend Dr. Westerheidi to anyone needing joint replacement(s).

I saw Dr. Westerheide after tearing my meniscus in my right knee. I'm a active person and love to hike and ski. I was afraid my favorite activities would come to an end. Dr. Westerheide took time to listen to all my concerns and answer all my questions. His staff quickly scheduled my surgery. After recovery time and some PT I'm happy to report I'm back on the slopes enjoying an active lifestyle again!! I would highly recommend Dr. Westerheide!!

I saw Dr. Westerheide in an emergent situation. I had cut my finger on a piece of glass. I called his office and he was kind enough to fit me into his busy schedule. He and his staff worked efficiently to get me stitched up. My finger healed up with no scar. I would highly recommend Dr. Westerheide.
