always professional and Listens with great care. Dr Westerdahl is genuinely interested in getting his patients through tough times and he’s understanding and shows great concern The staff is well trained and accommodating.
I walked into to Sports Health Northwest yesterday at the epitome of my knee pain threshold and was provided with prompt and professional treatment by Dr. David Westerdahl and his team.
This was our initial visit to this clinic. We felt Dr. was very professional and helpful.
Dr. Westerdahl, is great to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Westerdahl provided the kind of care that doctors should do. He did not hesitate to order necessary tests, patiently explained things, and was kind and helpful over all.
Dr Westerdahl is amazing! Knowledgeable, caring, takes his time to listen and address your concerns. I highly recommend him!
All of my appointments have been very helpful for me. So glad I was referred to him. Office staff is friendly and also helpful. I look forward to my appointments
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.
Interested and knowledgeable personnel. Dr westerdahl pays attention to the overall wellbeing.
Very patient and observant. I have a lot of confidence in his ability to diagnose the root cause of my pain issues.
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.
Everyone in office is friendly and helpful. Dr Westerdahl listens to patients and explains what he recommends for you. Glad I was referred to him.
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.
Dr. Westerdahl explained my condition in terms I could understand, explained the plan for treatment and will will follow up at my next appointment in about a month.
Dr. Westerdahl is very knowledgeable and was patient with addressing all my concerns! He is very thorough with explaining my condition, presenting treatment options, how the treatment will be done, treatment benefits and limitations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Westerdahl to people seeking a truly caring doctor!
First time working with Dr. Westerdahl, what a great experience. Everything from the Dr. down to his staff. Everyone was friendly, made you feel comfortable. I would recommend to anyone.
Professional informative friendly. Yop notch.
Absolutely amazing Dr. And staff!! At every point of contact you'll feel cared for and your problems validated. They all take the time and effort to find the best course of action to help remedy what ever ails you. Thank you and please never change. Finding genuine providers is so hard these days.
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.
Very comforting and professional.
My visit was very informative and I was in and out very quickly with all the information and results I needed for myself.
Patient and kind with willingness to listen and teach as well as diagnose. Worked me in as a new patient on short notice ❤️
Thorough, detailed explanations ,friendly, caring
Great team always positive always smiling Dr. so capable, kind, gentle, and the best professionally as I've seen in a number of years great group
Very professional.

Had a fall and fractured my patella. Dr. Westerdahl and his people got me in the day after I called about it. Have been thoroughly impressed with Dr. Westerdahl and his team as they carefully guided me on my complete recovery through the next several weeks. Highly recommend!!
Doctor very thorough and never seemed rushed. Staff pleasant and efficient.
