About Dr. Benjamin Westerhaus

Born and raised in Minnesota, Dr. Westerhaus has been slowly running away from cold winters until finally settling in sunny South Florida.


Prior to becoming an orthopedic doctor, he obtained his undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from Saint Louis University, where he met his future bride, who happened to be studying in the same program.


Together, they moved to Kansas City, where he worked as an engineer for three years before attending medical school at the University of Kansas. He completed his internship in General Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, and returned to Kansas City to complete his residency in
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He then completed his fellowship in Interventional Spine and Sports with Dr. Giuffrida.


Now a full-fledged Floridian, Dr. Westerhaus proudly serves the West Palm Beach area and enjoys the many perks that the community has to offer. When not working with patients, Dr. Westerhaus enjoys spending quality time with his wife and six children in the sunny Florida weather and exploring the many beaches that comprise it.
