Went in with a stubborn ankle sprain after a weekend footy clash. Dr van der Westhuizen explained the scan results clearly and laid out a solid rehab plan. Felt confident from the moment I left Bundaberg Regional Hospital—straightforward, no fluff and the fracture care tips were spot on.
I’ve had chronic knee pain for months and was worried I’d need surgery. Dr van der Westhuizen took the time to assess my arthritis signs and suggested a conservative plan first. The relief was immediate after some targeted exercises, and I left with hope and a clear path forward.
Visited for a suspected muscle strain after a gym incident. The consult was thorough, not rushed, and I appreciated the practical advice on activity modification. The follow-up instructions helped me get back to normal much quicker than I expected.
Dr van der Westhuizen walked me through the imaging results and explained fracture care in plain terms. Being in Bundaberg, it’s great to have a local orthopaedic surgeon who can translate complex stuff into real-world steps. Highly recommend.
I was dealing with persistent joint pain and wasn’t sure what to do. The evaluation was thorough and he offered a clear arthritis management plan with practical lifestyle tweaks. I felt listened to and supported.
Excellent service for a sprain I got while kayaking near Burnett Heads. Dr van der Westhuizen diagnosed quickly and gave me a simple, effective treatment plan. After a few weeks I was back on the water.
As an expat, I was relieved to find a kind and patient doctor who speaks clearly and doesn’t rush you. The joint pain evaluation was thorough, and the follow-up care made all the difference during my recovery.
