I first saw Mr Westerman at the beginning of Feb 2001 to discuss the results of an X-ray I had done He told me I had osteoarthritis in my left hip (the pain at that time was excruciating) and the way forward would be to have a total left hip replacement. Mr Westerman explained in great detail to me the whole procedure. I was extremely anxious about the operation but Mr Westerman and his team put my fears and concerns and mind at rest. I had my operation on 22nd March 2001 at the BMI Meriden hospital and stayed in hospital for 2 nights. I cannot thank Mr Westerman and the whole team enough. Had my right hip replacement on the 17th May

Fantastic surgeon. Attention to detail Fantastic.. . Amazing recovery after extremely complicated hip surgery. Legs same length, despite being nearly 2 inches different before surgery. Overall, can't describe how good the experience was compared to previous surgery.

After many months of severe hip pain, increasing imobility and being advised that NHS waiting could be as much as 18 months I decided to look at having my hip replacement done privately. After some research I chose BMI Coventry as my best option. When I called about an initial consultation the receptionist mentioned a few names and I chose Mr Westerman as I had heard his name mentioned at my NHS consultation. How pleased I was that I did. I had my first consultation within a week and surgery 3 weeks following. When Mr Westerman said that I would find a immediate difference I was understandably a little sceptical but true to his promise as I lay in my room after the operation I could feel the difference. Movement that had long since been very painful became easy and I could see a much more pleasant and active future. I am 6 weeks on now and going from strength to strength continuing with the exerises and increasing my walking distance. All in all a very positive outcome from a very pleasant and skilled practitioner.

I have endured years of excruciating knee pain owing to osteoarthritis & in 2018 I had my right knee replaced on the NHS which I have recovered really well from. Unfortunately my left knee really deteriorated whilst working from home during the pandemic leaving me really restricted in what I could do . I was sent a list of approved consultants by my private medical provider & arranged an appointment with Mr Westerman through his really friendly & helpful secretary. Mr Westerman was able to see me quickly & I was immediately taken by his friendly, caring manner. He agreed that the only option was total left knee replacement & he had availability 5 weeks later ! I had my surgery via spinal anaesthesia & spent 2 nights in hospital. I cannot recommend this wonderful consultant & his team highly enough . I am 7 weeks post surgery & both Mr Westerman & myself are really pleased with my progress. I’m definitely on the way to getting my life back . My only regret is waiting so long in pain but am truly thankful for the expertise & care of Mr Westerman
