Dr Westervelt is amazing! I've been going to him since 2018. He does an amazing job with surgeries and is an artist with making scars look beautiful. He is very diligent and compassionate towards his patients with their health issShow moreues, and makes sure you heal well. If you have any issues, he takes his time to find out what might be going wrong, refers you to the right person to help, or does what he can to ensure you are healing properly. I wouldn't go to anyone else! And definitely recommend him

Brandee W • November 20, 2020

Dr. Westervelt and his staff have been wonderful. I am new to the area, but suddenly required surgery on a tight (non-emergency) schedule. His staff helped me make sure I could get all of my pre-op testing work done in a timely Show moremanner so I could get on the surgical schedule. After-surgery was also handled well. Everyone is so kind and helpful. If you tend to be fairly active, make sure you ask dr for clear instructions on what you are allowed to do/not do. Bottom line--you can't do much!

Dr. Westervelt did a wonderful job on my large lipoma. I had the same Issue in the same area many years ago. My new incision is much neater and my scar looks so much better than the first one. He has a warm and kind demeanor. If you are ever lucky to cross paths with this lovely surgeon, you will be pleased.

Colleen P • August 08, 2024

My husband had been suffering with his hernia for over 3 years due to his anxiety and a lot of frustrating, unprofessional doctor visits. At our first appointment with Dr. Westervelt, he felt so comfortable and at ease with moving forward with surgery. He finally had his surgery last week and it went perfectly. We are so happy with results!! Thank you Dr. Westervelt and all your staff!!!

Joshua L • August 01, 2024

Dr Westervelt is a wonderful, kind gentle man with amazing bedside manner. He has preformed multiple surgeries on me and I'm going back to him again for another. There's no other surgen I would rather have cut me open and fix my guts. Thank you Dr Westervelt.

Charlie C • July 17, 2024

I went to Dr James Westervelt for a Cleft lift surgery for a pilonidal cyst. He is a wonderful surgeon who has an excellent bedside manner as well as exemplary surgical skills. Recovery was excellent and he made sure that I was comfortable.

Every experience I have had with Dr Westervelt has been exceptional. I’ve required two surgeries for which Dr. Westervelt performed, and both times, I could not have been happier. He cares about his patients and his work, and it shows. His office staff is amazing as well! Always very friendly and super helpful. Even the hospital staff had nothing but great things to say about Dr. Westervelt. He is a truly talented and kind surgeon!

If you need a surgeon...look no further. Will Kindt, RN, CCICU, CVICU.

Willard K • March 06, 2024

Streamlined process. I walked in early and barely sat down when i was led to a exam room. Dr came in within 2 minutes. In 10 minures i knew what i wanted to know and set a date for surgery.

Frank Z • March 05, 2024

The best Doctor who's ever done surgery and procedures on me! Great experience.

Kenneth D • March 05, 2024

Dr. Westervelt Is just a good human. He’s attentive and very much cares about his patients. He was very well liked by the nursing staff at the hospital, which was very telling since surgeons tend to have slight egos. Not the case here. Dr. Westervelt and his staff are terrific. I’m so happy to have met him. He has given me my life back and I will be forever grateful.
