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.

Dr. Westrom is the best doctor I’ve ever had!
Dr. Westrom is very professional and knowledgeable, but most importantly, he listens and truly cares about his patients. We are so blessed to have such a compassionate doctor! It will be a very sad day for us when he retires. Whoever takes his patients has some very big shoes to fill!

The best in Kokomo, ever!
He takes his time with every patient that comes through his door. He listens, he cares and he is one of the remaining few that will go literally, above and beyond, to do everything he can to make his patients healthy and comfortable. Kokomo is going to be in bad shape the day he retires. There just aren't many doctors like him this day in age.
