Patient Testimonials

"I have been a patient of Dr. David Vanderweide for at least 16 plus years. I first went to him when he had a smaller office on the Gulf Freeway. He has taken care of all my orthopedic needs since then. I have gone through a few insurance changes during the years and have always told everyone the regardless of the carrier, I will NOT go to any other orthopedic doctor. David is kind, thorough, has SUPERB "bedside" manner and is just the best! He truly cares about your needs and takes the time to talk to you (most doctors act like they are on their way to a fire and only have a few minutes, if that). His office staff/assistants are the best. From Jan to Kelly - they all treat you like you are family. It's a great feeling to be treated that way! I highly recommend Dr. Vanderweide for any orthopedic needs. There is no one better! "

"I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Vanderweide and his staff. After suffering a running injury, I knew I needed to see a doctor as soon as possible but was worried it would take a while to get an appointment. I was so surprised when they were able to get me in that same week. From the moment I walked in the door his staff made me feel like family. The wait was minimal and I never felt rushed during my visit with him. Having a doctor who will take the time to listen and talk with you is very important to me. Carla and the rest of the staff were so friendly and efficient and were very helpful scheduling my MRI and follow up appointment. This team is top notch and I would gladly recommend them to anyone.

"Dr. Vanderweide's office is very efficient. I haven't had any problems scheduling an appointment. The office staff is always ready for my appointment. The wait to be shown to a room is very reasonable. All of the staff I have had contact with have been friendly, professional and interested in how I am progressing and how I am doing on that particular day. If I have to call the office to ask a question, I am always treated professionally and will receive an answerer in a timely manner. If the question cannot be answered at the time I call, I will receive a response by the end of the business day. Dr. Vanderweide is awesome! He listens when I am telling him how I am doing and is interested in any problems I may be having. He explains his treatment plan in a manner that is very clear and understandable. My surgeries went very smoothly and were very successful. I am no longer in pain and walk normally. My first knee replacement was 7 year ago and I returned to have my second in June of 2015 because the first was very successful. I will return to Dr. Vanderweide if I have any further problems of an orthopedic nature."

"I am a patient of Dr. David Vanderweide. This testimonial is to express my appreciation for the outstanding professionalism, attention to detail and skill of Dr. Vanderweide and the integration of the entire staff. On June 20, 2015 I broke both my knee caps, but luckily for me I only needed surgery on one. Since June 26th, Dr. Vanderweide and his staff, from my first office visit consultation through the surgery, have been overwhelmingly positive in every respect. Dr. Vanderweide spent all the necessary time to educate me about the procedure he would be performing, including common side effects and uncommon but serious complications. While I am not a surgeon and cannot comment authoritatively on Dr. Vanderweide's technical ability, as a patient I have experienced a much better post-operative course than I expected. My experience has led me to believe that Dr. Vanderweide is an exceptionally skilled surgeon. The integration of the staff team at his office has been quite refreshing. I appreciate that such integration does not happen automatically. The staff at his office can feel justifiably proud of the work they perform and the professionalism and skill at all levels. I was always treated with prompt and efficient service, and felt well cared for. I want to say thank you to the staff and especially to Dr. Vanderweide. They have taken a bad situation for me and made it good. They all have my deepest thanks and I will never forget you. "

"Making an appointment was very easy and simple. I was referred by a friend at work to Dr. Vanderweide. As far as treatment goes, there is none better than what I experienced at your facility. Their personnel are kind and treated me with the utmost respect. The doctor referred me to therapy - wow what a great and learning experience that was. The therapist showed and taught me exercises I can do on my own and some with the assistance from my wife. They have been a tremendous help in my healing process. I would highly recommend Dr. Vanderweide to anyone in my family or friends. Once again thanks to all for a wonderful experience. "

"Dr. Vanderweide has been our orthopedic doctor for the last nine years. He has done total knee replacement and shoulder rotator cuff repair on my husband Billy and most recently a total knee replacement on myself. Dr. Vanderweide is not only very knowledgeable of his profession, he is also very kind, caring and compassionate. He runs his office like his operating room, efficiently and precisely with no room for error. He is not only a good doctor but a good friend, never too busy to listen to our stories! Billy and I both attribute our today's quality of life to Dr. Vanderweide's ability to map out our road to recovery! We are thankful our paths crossed"

- Billy and Linda

"I have gone to see Dr. Vanderweide on a couple of occasions and have found him to be a great doctor. He has a friendly and professional bedside manner, takes time to explain his findings and answer questions. He is easy to talk to, has a great sense of humor, and made me feel very comfortable in an otherwise stressful circumstance. I would, and have recommended him to friends and colleagues who have needed an orthopedic physician. His office staff is friendly and compassionate. Scheduling was easy and the wait at the office was short. His wife and office manager, Carla, is a gem too! Thank you doctor Dave for your great service & treatment! "

"I have been a patient of Dr. Dave Vanderweide for more than 5 years. When I encounter continuous neurological, joint or muscular aches, he is the first person with which I schedule an appointment. I love the fact that I am able to get an appointment within a reasonable amount of time that accommodates when I can slip away from work. The office staff is very kind and caring. Dr. Dave and his staff honor your time as the wait is minimal, as they listen with care to your medical issues, and as a treatment plan is prescribed. During the 5 years, I have needed several surgical procedures. Twice, Dr. Vanderweide successfully conducted carpal surgery for my hands. He has great "bedside manner" demonstrating his genuine concern for your health as he prays with you before the procedure if you desire and takes time to address your concerns and aftercare. What I especially appreciate about Dr. Dave, is that he will direct you to the best doctor/surgeon in the Houston area if your health issue is not his expertise. He has never steered me wrong. I honestly believe that my health is in the best hands with Dr. Dave, his staff and the Houston Physicians facility. "

"I've been a patient of Dr. Vanderweide's for almost two decades. My family and friends all use him. Anytime I've gone to him with a concern I've found him to be thorough and attentive never rushed or made to feel like a number. We all know that surgery can be a stressful event however during all my past surgeries I've been put to ease when Dr. Vanderweide enters the room takes my hand and says "you know the drill" and prays for me and my quick recovery and ask God for guidance during the procedure. He's as genuine as they come I believe in him and his abilities to get me through whatever may happen to me. He's up to date on the latest orthopedic procedures. Dr Vanderweide is my doctor for life."

- Shane D.

"From my initial consultation to post-procedural care, Dr. Vanderweide's staff were professional and kind. My office visits are never hurried and all of my questions or concerns are patiently addressed before I leave. I appreciate Dr. Vanderweide's approach to my care as he is conservative and thoughtful in my treatment, using the best evidence-based medicine. I actually enjoy visiting my orthopedic surgeon!"
