Our family is on the family plan with Dr. Westphal. He has operated on me for a torn rotator cuff, both left and right. My oldest daughter has had several knee surgeries from sports injuries as well as my youngest daughter. My son had a broken ankle from soccer and my wife had a broken wrist. We all have had an excellent experience being treated by Dr. Westphal or one of his associates through the years.
After my youngest daughter’s surgery, that ran very late, I saw many Drs. Leaving for the evening and walking past the nurse station without saying anything or even acknowledging any nurse. After stopping in to see how my daughter was doing I personally saw Dr. Westphal say good night to every nurse as he was leaving!

Overall Rating: 5.0 2019-01-02

Dr. Westphal is an incredible man, humble, kind, thorough, professional, and I would never let anyone else take care of my orthopedic needs (hence why I have been his patient for nearly 30 years!)! Great fixes, bedside manner is impecible, and my surgeries from the 90's have held up like no other! Highly recommend not only him, but his office! Great service and so caring!
