I went to Dr. Edward Westerheide and I did not like him. He made me wait 1 hour before seeing me, and he did not even read my medical notes which took pages to fill out, because he asked me the same questions. He is very sure of himself and puts his patients down. He Did not explain what input to do on my problem I was seeing him for, instead he handed me a pamphlet. He would be a waste of my time for me to see him again, I'll pass !

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 fell when I was snow skiing and thought I had possibly broken a bone in my foot. I made an appointment to see Dr. Westerheide. He and his staff were very efficient and saw me in a timely fashion. I had an x-Ray and even though I did not have a broken bone, I appreciated the professionalism of Dr. Westerheide and his treatment of care. Highly recommend!

My daughter who was an athlete at the time (this was softball season) injured her right shoulder. Took her to the ER after the gsme and was told she had a slight shoulder separation. Took her for follow up at her old Dr. Who said it was a rotator issue. Being still unable to raise her arm I brought her to his practice. Both physicians had X rays taken. Found out it was a fracture to her shoulder blade. He was informative, promt, answered all of our questions. I go to see a doctor based on his skills not his conversation. I can talk to my friends if I want that. He was great.

I have been to visit this doctor twice. Both times I was seen in very short order and given caring professional care. He was as gentle as it was possible to be given my situation. I visited him the first time based on a very good recommendation from another happy patient.
