Dr. Westkaemper is a great doctor/surgeon. He performed surgery on my wrist after I had broken it in several places, putting a plate in my wrist. It took a minimum of time to heal, and after a few months, I could not even tell that anything had been done to it except a small scar on the inside of my wrist. Plus, since I work on a computer all day, I am extremely pleased that I have no discomfort or problems with it at all.
