The entire experience, beginning with check in on the main floor, to X-ray to seeing my provider was flawless. In a quality hospital I expect that of the provider but it extended to the entire support staff as well.

I am from Boston and after many tries and angles to get into my doctor to evaluate my knee for a replacement due to a recent change it is support- I decided to call Dr Westrich who did my hip replacement a little ivermectin a yr ago- my Dr in Boston could get me in to be seen in June- however when I called Dr Westrich’s office they could see me in less than a week- The receptionist was nice and accommodating and Dr Westrich spent about 45 minutes discussing my options- Just amazing- that’s who I want do g my knee replacement!!!

Dr. Westrich is my hero. So far I've had 15 years of adventures with this hip. He's an amazing human and HSS should be very very thankful to have him. I know I am.

Dr. Westrich and his entire staff were incredible! They were referred to me by a family friend and I cannot be more pleased with my entire experience. The way I was tended to, whether it be in the office, over the phone or in the hospital, felt like I was their only patient! Dr. Westrich, Denise and the whole staff, Thank You!

He knows his stuff and I trusted him completely!

Mar 4, 2026
I had 100% confidence that I was in the best possible hands, also based on 2 family members he took care of

Mar 2, 2026
Dr. Westrich grasped my situation quickly. He asked appropriate questions and gained my trust by connecting the important points and stated his opinion of what I needed clearly. I am grateful to have been able to get a consult appointment online with him and now I have a surgery date. Denise presented the facts clearly and the information I took home was what I needed. After spending 18 months with another Ortho group in Albany and getting nowhere, this experience was very much appreciated.

Mar 2, 2026
Dr. Westrich and his staff was extremely professional. He made me feel very very comfortable about my upcoming procedure. HSS is the place to go if you want to get proper care.

Dr. Westrich's Best Kept Secret After more orthopedic procedures than I care to count (yes, Mom, the marathons probably weren’t necessary), I thought I knew the drill. I’ve had a knee replacement before. I understand the process. And yet — the stress still creeps in. After a thorough eval by the illustrious Dr. Westrich, you speak with Denise ...the "Best Kept Secret". From the first conversation, you feel like you’re being guided by a very competent family member — the kind who has done this a hundred times and isn’t rattled by anything. She walks you through every next step once the surgery date is set. What to expect. What not to overthink. Honestly, it's a bit like listening to your mom - well informed, compassionate and making sure you're prepared and confident. So yes, there's pre-surgery nerves. Don't feel left out in this review Dr. Westrich. You are a first class Mensch and a surgeon of the highest caliber. So let's slap in the new knee and NYC Marathon, I'll see you soon
