I was referred to rugby st cross hospital to see a consultant about my right hip that I had been in excruciating pain for around the last 18 months.I was seen by Dr westerman after looking at my X-rays he explained to me that I would need a full hip replacement as it was now bone on bone .There was lengthy waits on the NHS so i decided the only option because of the pain was to pay private and get the operation done in a few weeks.Dr westerman was very professional and put me at ease and explained the procedure from start to finish I was extremely nervous to be told that I would only be having a spinal and sedation for this major operation I was imagining all sorts from hearing hammers and drilling as the operation was taking place ,dr westerman assured me that I wouldn't hear or see anything through the operation.I was booked in for the 5th of march at the BMI Meriden Hospital as soon as I walked through the doors I knew I was in good hands in my lovely private room I was visited by Dr Westerman himself and the anaesthetist both went over the procedures again and put my mind at rest, that afternoon I walked down to the theatre with the lovely nurses ,had my epidural some sedation and that was all I remember I woke up in the recovery room and was soon wheeled back up to my lovely room to rest ,I cant thank Dr Westerman enough for how quickly I have recovered from my hip replacement and I am almost back to normal after a few weeks ,I would definitely choose Dr Westerman again if I had to have any other orthopaedic procedures done in the future.
