James R. Verheyden

I’ve have received nothing but wonderful, kind, professional treatment from Dr. Verheyden for years. He’s one of the most knowledgeable and confident physicians I know! If you are having any trouble with your hands or wrists, see this gentleman. He will take good care of you.

I really appreciate Dr. V. He's the BEST!

Engaged. Thorough. Friendly. Down to earth. No pushing, mostly informative. I have 76 year old worn out shoulders and there are no simple solutions. A great visit. Thank you!

Great doctor.

Fast efficient and pain free. Excellent results!

Dr V is a rockstar. He knows his craft, I am in the loop and I have had Dr V work on my right little finger, my right shoulder and the last procedure was carpal tunnel surgery on both hands at the same time, perfect outcome. Thanks

My surgery was scheduled promptly following assessment. The team worked cohesively before, during, and after the brief surgical procedure. Each person introduced himself and his role, was efficient but courteous and made me feel valued as the patient. So far (48 hours post-op), the results are as good as I anticipated, and I am pleased.

My gentleman had the Dupentryn Procedure on both hands done, Carpal Tunnel Procedure done, and his left Elbow done. Procedures were done with local anesthesia. It was a great experience both in the office and the Surgical Center. End results have been amazing! Recovery time is without a doubt quick and corrective. Dr. Verheyden was aware of questions and had complete and thorough answers. Explained every step along the way. He truly believes in "His Pet Project"! We strongly recommend him and his staff. Not having crippled hands anymore is without a doubt a dream come true. Look out Tools and Projects - no more rest for you. Thank you Again Dr. Verheyden!!! Mike and Dalienne

I have had 3 surgeries with Dr. Verheyden and team. All 3. have gone smoothly and as explained and I will have very little, if any scarring.

Quite poor bedside manner, enough to scare me away. I was grateful I decided to not have him perform my surgery, after I learned of his less than great reputation around town.

Dr Verheyden provided the diagnosis and the follow through procedures in a professional manner. The surgery went well as did the follow-up post surgery appointment. I felt the results were excellent.

Everyone was helpful, pleasant, professional and thorough. Dr Verheyden is an excellent doctor and surgeon. The procedure went very well and discharge instructions were well written and easy to understand. I highly recimmend The Center and Dr. Verheyden!

Substandard bedside manner.

Dr Verhayden performed two injections for “trigger fingers” on me today. He brought in 2 syringes and was on the brink of the first injection, when I asked him “So how much is this going to hurt?”. He didn’t answer me. He just got up, walked out with the syringes, and came back with 2 different ones. These were grey, the first ones were orange. It doesn’t take much to figure out that he must have decided to use the numbing ones. Why would a doctor cause more pain than necessary? On top of this he wouldn’t listen and kept interrupting me. His diagnosis and treatment may have been correct, but his lack of caring about me on personal level was all too obvious. I could feel how impatient he was because I questioned his (immediate) diagnosis. I found him to be an arrogant individual, just as others have mentioned in their reviews. I will not be back.

I was diagnosed in my mid to late 40s with multiple cord Dupuytren’s contracture in both hands and was told by the hand specialist that it was mild and didn't need attention at the time and to wait until it bothered me enough that I couldn't stand it any longer. About a decade later it became disfiguring enough in both my fingers and my palms that people were noticing and I decided I had to do something about it. Well, waiting was bad advice, because I almost waited too long as results can be dependant on degree of contracture and mine had contracted more than I had realized. Dupuytren's is apparently deceptive that way. The local hand specialists said surgery was really the only effective option so I scheduled for one of my hands. Then, I googled the surgical procedure for multicord Dupuytren's contracture only to find a horrific Frankenstein-like nightmare surgery I wasn't about to undergo unless absolutely necessary (look it up!) and canceled the surgery. I began exploring resources and asking around and discovered xiaflex, then found a few glowing reviews on the web about Dr Verheyden's method from people who's jobs required a high level of hand dexterity they simply couldn't afford to risk to such a surgery (musicians, athletes, etc). In googling his name, I came to an hour long video explain Dr Verheyden's unique method of injecting xiaflex. I made the appointment at The Center in Bend, Oregon and had both hands done on back to back days... something you would never be advised to do with the surgery. Each hand had at least three cords with multiple nodules so took a bit of time. I'm not a big fan of needles, but tlhe injections were easy, pain-free and actually interesting to watch as Dr Verheyden concentrated on injecting while explaining how his method differed from the norm and why. There was some bruising for the next week or so but not enough to gain anyone's notice at all, much less their sympathy. I had to wear a splint at night to keep my hands straight as they healed. Within a few weeks my palms and fingers looked as if I had never had Dupuytren's at all. My wife and family were amazed...and it was only when hearing their amazed reactions that I realized how disfigured my hands must have actually become prior to Dr Verheyden's procedure. It's almost a year later and my hands still look great. I definitely recommend anyone searching for help with Dupuytren's contracture reach out to learn about Dr Verheyden method for injecting xiaflex and watch the video found in the resources under his profile on The Center Oregon website.

Every once in a while (if you are lucky) you will meet a physician who thinks outside the box, who is brilliant and can make your life truly better by using his/her finely honed skills to bring healing into your life. I am one of those lucky patients. Before meeting Dr. Verheyden, I consulted and was treated for several years by two other hand surgeons to treat my extremely painful CMC (thumb) joint. One had horrible communication skills and the other although helpful, didn’t seem invested in my issues. I asked no less than 6 people who also suffered with hand issues, who would they recommend? It was unanimous, Dr. Verheyden was the guy to see. One meeting with him was all it took to figure out that not only did I need CMC joint surgery, but Carpal Tunnel release and a Trigger Finger release. My joint hurt so much, I was unaware of how tingly my hand would get, nor did I notice one of my fingers sticking and clicking. Neither of the other doctors observed these issues. Instead of performing three separate surgeries to fix my hand and recovering three different times, Dr.Verheyden was able to do all of them at once. This not only saved me recovery time, but money. Today is my 8th week hand surgery anniversary and I am completely healed. My hat is off to this incredible doctor. Thank you Dr. Verheyden!

I would give zero stars if I could. The facility, staff, and other doctors are excellent. James does not fit there. Dr. Verheyden audio recorded my appointment to check out my injured hand without telling me. He didn’t care at all about me and was very focused on his dictation. When I asked about whether he was recording our conversation, he gave me some ridiculous excuse. I saw him at The Center’s Shevlin Park location. No other patients were there - to the point that staff and I chatted about how quiet things were. There was no reason for him to rush me out the way he did. The entire thing was beyond bizarre. What doctors surreptitiously audio record their patients with zero disclosure? Note: I have health insurance and have had good experiences with doctors at the Center in the past. This was beyond appalling. If you have to wait for an appointment with someone else, do it. This guy is bad news. I would give zero stars if I could.

I seriously injured my left hand as a child, which is my dominant hand. I have learned through over forty years of living with these restrictions to my hand to deal with it. I was told as a child that this would be as good as I would get as far as the use of my hand was concerned. I recently visited Dr Verheyden to discuss another injury more minor I had recently sustained to my right hand while working out. Dr. Verheyden was able to quickly diagnose and test this issue. While examining both my hands during my initial visit. I shared with Dr. Verheyden the history of my left hand. He shared that he would be able to treat this hand and give me more much use and flexibility than I currently had. Needless to say this was music to my ears and something I never thought was possible before. The surgery was a great success and I’m happy to say that he was right and that I will have much more flexibility and use my left hand than I’ve had in over 40 years. I was very impressed not only by the results of the surgery but how Dr. Verheyden walked me through step-by-step what the procedure would look like. He took his time exposing every detail. Thank you Dr. Verheyden for your great work and excellent patient care during my treatment. I would recommend Dr. Verheyden to anyone seeking hand care.

Dr. Verheyden performed surgery on my finger in 2020. I agree with all the comments about his demeanor and his arrogance. After weeks with pins in my finger, Dr. Verheyden was very aggressive in their removal and the repair failed, so my finger is now disfigured and I can't move a joint.

Dr. James Verheyden is a terrific Orthopedic Surgeon, glad he is my Doctor.Very knowledgeable and informative. I immediately felt at ease and felt confident in my receiving expert medical care. He listened to my concerns about my shoulder pains and came up with a great treatment plan HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I was referred to Dr. James Verheyden by my chiropractor. One of her patients was treated by Him for Dupuytren’s Contracture and was very satisfied with the results. I had both my hands done and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Verheyden took his time at each appointment explaining the procedure, showing me the physical therapy exercises I needed to do at home, and what I could expect over the next two weeks. He is professional, highly skilled, knowledgeable, and a leader in his profession. I was treated well at each visit and have a lot of respect for him as a person and a surgeon.

Dr. Verheyden thoroughly explained the procedure for Dupuytren's Contracture. During the procedure he again described why and what he was doing. The procedure was a total success. Thank you!

I'm a physician and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Verheyden to friends, colleagues, and patients in need of a skilled hand surgeon. My personal experience as a patient of Dr. Verheyden's was 5/5 stars. He saw me in his clinic on a walk-in basis late on a Friday afternoon, picked up a subtle X-ray finding (that would have likely been missed by a midlevel practitioner and probably even a general orthopedist), and had me in the operating room the very next morning. The surgery took 20 minutes, required only regional anesthesia, and my follow-up course has been a breeze. In the event I require a hand surgeon again, I'll go to Dr. Verheyden and I think you should do the same.

Dr. V has always been very helpful with explaining what the issues are and how to resolve them. He truly listens, answers my questions and cares for his patients. Highly recommend!

I'm writing this review for Michelle who is Intelectualy delayed.. She had a decompression procedure done and we were very surprised when Dr Verheyden told us it would be performed in the office.. but it was so much less stressful for Michelle. She had the stitches removed today and when we walked out of the office she asked if she could hug him because this was the best surgery she ever had.. (she has had 6...) Dr Verheyden smiled and said absolutely. ???? I'm writing this review for Michelle who is Intelectualy delayed..

Dr Verheyden is the most qualified in his field. I had major surgery on my left hand. I had lost most of the use and was in constant pain. It wasn't until after the surgery that I read that he had developed and perfect the procedure he had performed on my hand. It took between 9 months to a year to fully recover because of a medical condition that I have, but it was worth the wait. I have the same condition in my right hand and he will perform that surgery also.. Dr Verheyden is the most qualified in his field. I had major surgery on my left hand.

Dr Verheyden injected both my hands with Xiaflex for Dupuytren’s Contracture. The results were excellent. My hands were sore for about 2 weeks, but after that, no pain and straight fingers!

The best hand surgeon ever totally fixed my hand so I can use it just fine , very happy with his work he is awesome.

Thank you Doctor for the great care of my arthritic hand. It has been 15 weeks and i am doing super. I look forward to getting my right hand done and have NO pain in my hands. Judy Duncan Macartney

I saw Dr. Verheyden today and as always he was very professional, knowledgeable and listened and answered all questions that I had. This is not the first time I have seen Dr. Verheyden. I have seen him for a detached Bicep, a torn Rotator Cuff in my left shoulder that required surgery performed by Dr. Verheyden and now another possible torn rotator cuff/ pain in my right shoulder. Dr. Verheyden is always careful to explain all nuances of my injury and all possible scenarios. Furthermore, he discusses ways to protect myself from further harm to my shoulders.

Dr V is the bomb! Not like other busy physicians, which he is, he really cares about his patients. Professional yet approachable. Prompt diagnosis and treatment. Excellent follow up. I’m not one to look forward to any Dr visit, but if it’s Ortho related, I’m headed to Dr V

I have been going to Dr. Verheyden for a number of years. Great guy. Always enjoyable to be around. Punctual and informative. I typically get shots in my hands and have had surgery for trigger finger. He's an asset to Bend and the community in general.

Thank you Dr. James Verheyden for the surgery you performed on my left hand (CMC). On my first visit you explained why I needed surgery and what the surgery entailed. Then you gave more information and directed me to watch the procedure on UTube. I understood what would occur during surgery. On the day of surgery I was so grateful to you again explaining to me what you were going to do in surgery. I was completely made comfortable with your friendliness and kindness you gave me. My surgery went well. I had minimal pain, no pain meds were necessary. At my first post-op visit Dr. Verheyden explained the recovery process.

I had a moderate case of Dupuytrens contracture on my right hand where the little finger had curled to about 20-30 degrees. Although my primary care doctor did not think it was severe enough yet, Dr.Verheyden looked at it and determined that it was better to take care of it now as the results would be much better that letting it get more severe. After the procedure, my right hand is fully functional as before with almost no signs of the disease. I would recommend taking care of it early for the best results.

Dr. Verheyden saved my hand function. I had several issues which included: torn tendons caused by wrist bones arthritis; carpel tunnel syndrome; a ganglion cyst and cubital tunnel syndrome.

Dr. Verheyden expedited surgery on my left wrist, which I broke for the second time in two months, from a fall on a hiking trail.

My wrist, with its new hardware, is healing well with relatively no pain. I will soon be better than new thanks to his proficiency.

Was very satisfied and happy with the results of my trigger fingers surgery by Dr. Verheyden. His staff was awesome also. Very nice and very thorough gentleman. Was made to feel very comfortable, was kept in conversation and the next thing I know the surgery is done. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Vergeyden performed two procedures on by left hand. One was a xiaflex procedure for a severe Dupuytrens finger and palm. A true professional! Great results. Explained the procedure in detail and was exceptionally thorough. The second was the removal of a cyst on my hand. Again excellent results. Both were pain free. I’m truly impressed

Dr. Verheyden was arrogant and didn’t listen to my concerns. He claimed my wrist problems were preexisting to a car accident and refused to do a contrast MRI when I asked for one. He wanted to do a carpal release and surgery on my thumb , but that wasn’t where my pain was. I agreed to allow him to do the other repairs hoping he would correct the real problem, when I ask to have the surgery in the hospital he told me “ it would be a burden on tax payers to have it in the hospital”. I found another doctor who was willing to do the contrast MRI. There was extensive damage and after two years of suffering with pain and limited ability to used my arm I had surgery to rebuild my wrist.

April 18, 2021 - Dear Dr. Verheyden, My husband and I, Terje and Elaine Walthinsen, are profoundly grateful for your excellent, efficient surgical treatment of my severely injured distal right index finger. Friday, April 2, 2021, at 2:00 PM, I accidently severed most of the top third portion of that finger while trimming a bush with a hedge trimmer. My husband drove me to the Redmond St. Charles ER where I received excellent immediate care, including being referred to you. Soon we were on our way to "The Center Orthopedic and Neurosurgery Care and Research Center" in south Bend, 30 minutes away where you and your staff were graciously waiting for us. You performed surgery with precision giving encouraging advice as you removed the upper third of my finger. Soon we were on our way home to Redmond arriving at 6:15 PM. As we watched the sun set that evening, we were amazed, Dr. Verheyden, to recount how we believed the Lord God used you to help me begin a new chapter. I am already beginning to adapt to playing the piano and look forward to swimming again soon. Thank you!

It was a unique solution to my circumstance, but I could not have asked for a better outcome, and so far a simple recovery.

Last year when he did work on my trigger fingers he even let me watch the live video feed... fascinating. I recommend him all the time to others needing a good surgeon.

I have Dupuytren's contracture, a disease of the connective tissue in my hands. I feel so fortunate that I have Dr Verheyden's expertise and caring to help me continue to be able to do my woodworking and sports. Dr Verheyden is so knowledgeable, but most of all he really cares and treats his patients with compassion and kindness. I highly recommend him

I am very pleased with the injections for my arthritic thumbs. He is very skilled. When I had the procedure done with a different Dr., the pain was significant. There is little to none with Dr. Verheyden. I had tried to get an injection from doctors when I lived in Arkansas but they only wanted to operate. This doctor is talented and personable. He also explains the condition and the options for treatment very clearly.

April 18, 2021. At 2:00 PM, April 2nd I accidentally almost amputated my upper third right index finger with a hedge trimmer. After excellent care @ Redmond St. Charles ER, we were referred to Dr. Verheyden at “The Center Orthopedic and Neurosurgery Care and Research” facility in south Bend 30 minutes away. We were received graciously and surgery began quickly. I was impressed with Dr. Verheyden’s professional and gracious manner with empathy and helpful advice. We were soon on our way home arriving at 6:15 PM. We were amazed at the efficient care I received. Dr. Verheyden, we believe the Lord God used you to help me begin this new chapter, as you referred to it. I plan to start swimming again soon and am adapting to resuming my piano playing. Thank you, Sincerely, Terje and Elaine Walthinsen

He had a very friendly bedside manner and we appreciated his medical experience and help with our young child!

Excellent all around care. Practical treatments provided. Staff was all friendly. So thankful to have gotten Dr. V as my doctor.

I have been very happy with Dr. Verheyden and his team. I fell off a roof 5 weeks ago and had various issues that we discussed which greatly complicated an additional surgery. He thoroughly discussed the different options and their pros & cons. My wife is in the medical field and listened to all of it. We both felt he was confident in his skills, and came up with a plan. It was a unique solution to my circumstance, but I could not have asked for a better outcome, and so far a simple recovery. I feel he really listened to me and my concerns and treated me as a whole instead of just a really messed up wrist. I would recommend him to anyone.

I recently had a left wrist replacement with additional tendon re-attachment for three tendons that had been ruptured due to bone spurs in my wrist. I was impressed by the nerve block that was used this time for the surgery. Weird feeling but no pain. The stitches are out, incisions look good and are healing. I feel comfortable with Dr. Verheyden as he answers my questions, explains what goes on in the operation and recuperation and is very experienced in his Trade. This is the third operation he has done on me, 4 years ago he did my right shoulder and right thumb and so far all has went well with operations, healing, P.T. and recuperation. If needed, I will go through another procedure with him.

Dr Verheyden performed carpet tunnel and thumb joint repair on both hands. I now have full use of my hands and can't say enough about his skill.

Dr. Verheyden is very arrogant. He misdiagnosed my torn liganents and refused to do a contrast MRI. I Finally got a doctor to do the contrast MRI after being in pain with limited use for two years. The damage to my wrist was extensive. I needed a graft to repair the damage. Dr. Verheyden was insulting and didn’t listen to my concerns.

I had a dupuytren's procedure done on my hand two weeks ago. Dr V. said in about two weeks my hand would be close to being normal again. He was absolutely correct. I found him to be highly professional & a pioneer in the injection procedure. He thoroughly explained my problem and what his plan of action was going to be. I am highly active in outdoor activities and the results have been remarkable. I am going back in February to have my other hand treated for the same condition. My heartfelt thanks to Dr V. for making me feel like I am able to use my hand again! I highly recommend Dr V. for anyone that needs this procedure done.

Dr Verheyden did a great job on the dupuytren's contracture on my left pinky finger. Previously, I'd had a needle micro-surgery by another Doc. It worked for a while but gradually the DP came back. (I was advised this was a risk.) Dr V thoroughly explained his procedure using Xiaflex, the risks and side effects. I had these side effects: swelling, bruising, soreness including my armpit, minor skin tear. Two Advil before bed helped. Two weeks after the procedure, it's healed very well and my finger is straight and flexible. I have soreness making a fist but expect this to go away with more healing time. My two suggestions: get written post-op instructions to take away and I adjusted the hand splint strap for fingers (there's a wrist and knuckle strap to hold the hand flat) to only hold the pinky (or treated fingers down and straight) leaving my other fingers free. This was much more comfortable; strapping non-treated fingers caused them pain after wearing the splint all night.

Dr. Verheyden did a great job of putting my shattered wrist back together when other doctor's were in doubt. I highly recommend him! He and the center are awesome ?

He kept us completely informed, gave us many resources to gain as much knowledge about duprytens Contractures as we needed. Excellent is every aspect, gave me my life back. I can use my hands again!!
