Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

So sad to see her retire.
She was a great doctor. Never had to worry about my health problems because she was so thorough. Hate to see her retire. She is already missed.

Quint Studer wasn't lying when he said she was an amazing doctor. He told me he used her and was very satisfied, so I made my appointment. For years, she has been my partner, my doctor, my friend, and a wonderful caregiver. She listens to me! That is so rare. There have been times she told me I had a genius IQ and should go into medicine. I don't know if she is pulling my leg, but her respect for me and for my care was beyond appreciated. I am going to MISS her so much!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Westafer since 1982. She is an excellent physician. Always up to date on latest medical information and care. Dr. Westafer treats her patients with respect and patience. She never rushes her patients and is very thorough in all aspects of her patients’ well being and medical care.

Dr. Anita Westafer is the best doctor there is anywhere in the world! She is very personable, professional and knowledgeable in treating each patient’s medical needs. She truly cares about her patients and I feel very fortunate to have her as my primary care Doctor. Consider yourself very lucky if she has an opening and you get in to see her!

Be careful going to Dr. Westafer for a wellness visit. You shouldn't have a co-pay, but if they ask you if you need refills and you say yes, they can charge you a $20.00 co-pay. I called BlueCross and they said it was a way that Physicians try and be sneaky to get the extra co-pay money from the patient. I am upset, I thought I was receiving good care prior to this year's visit. Looks like they are just money hungry.

Don't go to this doctor and expect a solution to your problem. Tried to switch doctors which included having a new doctor write my prescription. I had been taking the medicine with no problem for at least 8 years. I've been struggling at work without it. Doctor would not write it nor were willing to find a way to help me for the time id be without for another month since the referal they gave me was not taking new patients and the other place i called couldn't get me in till a month later.

The very first visit Dr Westside found a problem with my heart beat. Make you feel relaxed, and you know how hard that is at a Dr. office. I would rate her as one of the best, if not the best. Gives you a positive speaking to you if you are not following your health care. She cares about you and is no hurry to get you out the door.
