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.

Sciatic pain in left leg. Got MRI and X ray. Told me I had too many issues with my back. His PA told me not to come back. ??? Did not show me the images and did not give me an explanation as what to do next. Still have my pain. Using heat and ice and when it gets real bad I take ibuprofen.

I was told he was the best in the area, and when I met him, I felt like he thought that too. My only visit with him, he walked by the exam room, looked in at me kind of indifferent, looked over to the computer with my images, didn't say one word to me. I actually walked out to him and asked if he was the doctor, he said yes and maintained his arrogant indifference to me. I felt like I had to interrogate him to get ANY info on my back problems. We ended up having a long conversation and he started to warm up a little. However... read more

Long wait Poor communicator and opinionated. Intelligent but illusive when answering questions. Very little follow up. No options his way or the highway.

Dr. WESTMARK and Assistant Kevin Kajaveh performed an L5-S1 disc fusion on my lower back the day before Thanksgiving in the year 2000. 6.5 hour surgery, took cadaver bone and bone from my right hip and fused the area that the disc used to be at L5-S1. Wore the abdominal brace for 6 weeks after surgery, and I have not had one iota of pain or problems in my lower back. I have 2 permanent brackets with 4 titanium screws holding my lower back stable. No effects of cold or pain during winter cold months and can still live like a ... read more

Well, I guess it was more than just a visit. I'm extremely thankful to other patients that Dr. Richard Westmark had treated, recommended him to me. I was in a lot of pain from a neck injury that I sustained forty three years earlier. The vertebra in my neck from C4 to C7 had fused together like one bone. Thanks to Dr. Westmark I no longer have to worry about it. He took the necessary steps to correct the issues I had. After a three hour surgery, I no longer have to worry about becoming a quadriplegic, which had been a great ... read more

Well, I guess it was just more than a visit. I'm extremely thankful that I found Dr. Westmark. He made me feel so comfortble, knowing I had a really bad issue. Life is much better knowing I can still function because of him. I truly we I wish you and your staff the best.

Dr Westmark performed my surgery or a herniated L4/L5 disk in December of 1998. Prior to the surgery I was in unbearable pain. He performed the surgery on a Saturday morning in less than an hour and the nurses had me on my feet by that early afternoon. The pain was gone. Here we are in 2020 and my back has been perfectly fine ever since. Now at age 69 I am going to see if he can fix my problems on my neck area vertebrae.
