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'm sure that Dr. Westkaemper is an excellent MD, very clear about the progression of recommendations. I was wanting someone to help me improve my joint health, not just treat the pain, so maybe not the right doc for me at this time. Staff was super friendly, well organized and I liked the online checkin process.

Dr. Westkaemper did expert carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand after a series of shots. I appreciate his rapid diagnosis and care right on the spot. I went back to him with a stiff knee and he once again was quick to diagnosis my problem and relieve the problem. I would recommend him to anyone in my family or friends should they so desire to use his services.

After over three years of wrist pain and doctors either shrugging me off or spouting the normal RICE Google search results, Dr. Westkaemper was the one who actually listened to me and tested some things and told me that my wrist pain was actually caused by cubital tunnel in my elbow. A compression sleeve and a couple of weeks of avoiding pressure on my elbow, and my wrist pain is basically gone already. I had been doing everything I could in the three years leading up to this, and he was the only one who helped me realize that my wrist pain was caused by my elbow, and therefore the only person who offered any real help at all. I am so, SO thankful for his guidance and diagnosis.

Dr Westkaemper repaired my thumb after an injury where I nearly cut it off. I have been very pleased with him and his staff, and I would recommend him to my family. He talks fast, and it took me a few minutes figure him out, but then I picked up on his sense of humor, and I enjoy talking with him! During surgery, he used nerve blocks instead of general anesthesia, and although I couldn't see what was going on, I was wide awake. I got to spend about 25 minutes talking with him while he repaired my thumb, and I can tell you, he's a very good Doctor and a very good guy! I am very pleased!

I visited Dr. Westkaemper for the first time in March, 2019, for what I believed to be a stress fracture in my foot. He was professional and very knowledgeable and personable and he listened to my thoughts as a "seasoned" RN. Great office staff, Demi and Ryan. Will definitely refer friends to Dr. Westkaemper.

Dr. Westkaemper and his associates Demi and Ryan were a great help after my very first surgery. They helped me understand the healing process and money situation by taking their time to make sure I understood what was going on. Dr. Westkaemper was very clear in his intentions for my wrist and he was honest and outright with his diagnosis. Overall Dr. Westkaemper and his team created a friendly and idealistic feel to each and every visit I had.

I went to Dr. Westkaemper for wrist and hip pain due to a fall. Dr. Westkaemper was very through and informational regarding the nature and problem of the pain. He was not quick to suggest surgery or injections. The whole staff was very courteous and Demi is amazing! Thank the Lord for such great medical personnel.

After having two Ulnar nerve transpositions on my right elbow I was left with only partial sensation in my right hand. Dr. Westkaemper gave me my whole hand back! I wish I’d have found him first as he did my left arm both Radial and Ulnar with carpal Tunnel procedure and it healed right up first time out.

This was my first experience with Dr. Westkaemper. I was pleasantly surprised. He talks fast but he explained everything to my son and I in a way we could understand and allowed me to see my son’s finger under fluoroscopy to fully understand the diagnosis. Great energy! I will definitely come to him for any further Ortho issues. His MA, Demi was helpful and funny as well.

Dr. Westkaemper was able to give a quick evaluation after examination of arm and hand. Tests confirmed his assessment of the injury and after giving us options, surgery was scheduled. He answered all of our questions before and after the surgery . The staff was courteous and efficient. His PA, Demi, was especially cheerful and made sure everything went smoothly. I think Dr. Westkaemper is a qualified and capable surgeon and will not hesitate to use him again in the future.

Definitely, Dr. Westkaemper and staff are very nice and cordial people. For me that's important. Dr. Westkaemper is easy to talk to and explained what's happening in simple terms. His assistant Ms. Demi always smiles and appear to know everyone that walks through the door. She is professional and concerned. If you are having difficulty with your hands, for what ever reason, ask your PCP to refer you to Dr. Westkaemper you want regret it. Loria P.

I suffered from a trauma at 3 fingers, shattering bones and joints. It was so bad, the doctors wanted to amputate. I asked Dr. Westkaemper to try to save my fingers and he did with very high skill. Because of him, I can play piano almost like normal after 6 months of recovery. About the office, I found making appointments very easy. Sometimes I could get in same-day. I did experience wait times, but not too bad.

Dr. Westkaemper is an excellent doctor. He's very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. He won't push any particular treatment above the other unless there's an actual need for it, and makes sure the patient has all the information they need to make a decision for themselves. Great bedside manner, and is attentive to patient needs and concerns. His staff is also very helpful and kind. Demi, in particular, is a great help. She is highly skilled, funny, and easy to talk with.
