  • "I rarely have to wait at all. Everyone- front desk, nurses, technicians are all friendly and helpful. Dr Westgate is phenomenal- knowledgeable, kind, patient, thorough and so humble!"

  • "I see Dr. Westgate twice a year for full body scans and think she is friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. I feel as though she's genuine in her care for her patients instead of just going through the motions. Her front desk help and nurses are also friendly and helpful and make you feel welcomed."

  • "I just had my annual whole body check for skin abnormalities. The entire process was a great experience; the receptionist, the nurse, and Dr. Westgate were all extremely professional and helpful. Dr. Westgate answered all my questions, gave a thorough examination, and reassured me regarding some spots I thought were questionable. Thanks! See you next year."
