Dr Westerdahl is very kind and caring doctor. I have seen him twice for second opinions on two separate issues. He patiently listened and helped me figure out the problem. He has very good bedside manners. It’s very easy to schedule an appointment with him. His staff members are very helpful too.

I am a new patient and my first two visits with Dr. Westerdahl were great. He went over my previous diagnosis and gave me his recommendation. Ordered some imaging that we went over. Listening to my concerns we came up with a plan.

Dr. Westerdahl seems to be spread too thin. Will book you for a time, but has so many patients you’ll wait over an hour past that time just to maybe see him for a few minutes. Felt like a clinic more about greed than healthcare.

Very helpful to figure out ways to handle calcification tendinitis of shoulders and elbow, plus hand finger issues. He seems to be able to treat all or whole body when it comes to specific issues and pain. Other places won't talk about elbow when there because they only treat shoulders. He treats you and not just individual areas.
