Dr. Westmark performed my neck surgery back on 2013. He did a 4 level fusion. It's been a blessing. The pain is gone, almost unreal but my quality of life was completely changed. My pain was unbearable and he did a perfect surgery. Ever since 2013 I've been with no pain. He is very professional and knowledgeable. If you need a neck surgery, He is the one. Thanks ! Alma S.
