Patient Reviews
May 28, 2022
Dr. Westra was thorough in his neurological exam and listened patiently to my past medical history. He reviewed my imaging in detail and took the time to compare to previous imaging over the years and ensured I fully understood what I was viewing. He answered all questions compassionately and fully.
