I am happy we chose Dr Wester for my shoulder surgery .. His bedside manner is good and I ‘m sure he is a very busy surgeon .. so impressed he visited and spoke after surgery … I believe he is one of the best and has loads of experience.. I believe that is most important …

Dr Wester is a fantastic surgeon. He performed my surgery and I have had excellent results. I consider myself fortunate to have had him as my physician.

Dr. Wester conducted a hip arthroscopy and during surgery conducted an additional and rare procedure not expected initially. He never saw me again after the surgery and had his PA do all of the work. He gave no education, guidance, or direction on how to rehabilitate my leg and completely disregarded the seriousness of the procedure. I still have complications and pain. He seemed to lack understanding of what I needed to do post-surgery, shows no interest or concern in his patients. Would not recommend him
