Mr Richard Westerman 2021-04-16 Person 5 5 0

Had a serious accident in July 2019 and broke my hip socket and had emergency surgery to plate and pin my hip. I was in a wheelchair for 2 months and very slow recovery to try and mend and save the existing hip. Fast forward 12 months, I was in excruciating pain, barely able to walk, sleep and my quality of life was seriously affected. We were in the middle of lockdown and was told I needed a hip replacement, but unfortunately no routine hip replacements were being performed at present under the NHS. I was unsure which surgeon to pick at the BMI as I had no previous knowledge of the surgeons, but I looked at the reviews for Mr Westerman and booked my initial consultation with him. I went with my gut instinct after the consultation and booked my surgery immediately for my hip replacement which was carried out on 15th October 2020, All the reviews about the surgery process and hospital stay is spot on. As others have said, do all your exercises and physio as advised and your recovery will be a lot smoother and quicker. The hip replacement has been life changing, and I would 100% recommend Mr Westerman. I cannot thank him enough and at 51 I am back to my very active lifestyle and free from pain. I have never written a review for anything before, but felt it important to leave a review as this was how I picked Mr Westerman for my hip replacement and relied on the other reviews that had been provided. They were all very accurate and informative for anyone needing a hip replacement, Mr Westerman is definitely skilful and passionate about his work. I would highly recommend him.
