Ventura Neurosurgery

Excellent Surgeon. After ACDF surgery I have no more problems or pain in my shoulder and arm.

Dr. Westra is very thorough and always takes the time to go over test results, options for the next step, and making sure that we are in complete agreement as to how to proceed. I appreciate his caring and personal approach to solving my health issues!

I have always found Dr. Westra’s office staff to be very competent, efficient, and friendly. Dr. Westra is thorough, communicates well, and is an excellent surgeon.

Dr Westra is a genius. He fixed problems with my back twice now when many other doctors could not help me.

Dr. Westra saw me on time, very punctual. He was very knowledgeable and explained my condition so that I could understand. X-ray and MRI results were well displayed and he described everything well in his office.

Westra is one of the most thorough and no BS Physicians around. His knowledge and professional presence never challenges your comfort zone and will make feel comfortable and confident that whatever condition your health is and whatever decisions made to better your life during your consultation will leave you feeling content and reassured. His office is enormous, clean and makes you feel like you’re a star on the red carpet. He has everything right in front of him to better convey what his intentions are to tackle what’s best for your pain, injury or current condition. If you are looking for someone who has taken his schooling and hard work to a top notch level and beyond, Dr Westra is your guy!

Dr. Westra is very professional. Not too many doctors impress me.
Dr. Westra and his office assistant I would trust to recommend to my family and friends.

Friendly and helpful with staff. Doctor was informative and explained my MRI results carefully.

As always, Dr. Westra shined with knowledge on his field of specialty and empathy to my condition. I could not possibly ask for a better neurosurgeon.

I highly recommend Dr. Westra for any and or all Neurosurgery work. He explained to me everything in detail before and after surgery. I also like the fact that he doesn't forecast things. He's a here and now kind of doctor and I trusted him with my Back surgery and I trust him with my next surgery coming up for my Neck.

Friendly service, clean office and Dr Westra is very informative. I had a major back surgery and he took very good care of me.

My mom has had chronic pain in her back for quite some time. Dr. Westra is clear and concise in his diagnosis and doesn’t rush into surgery. We have really appreciated his input and are thankful to have him as part of our medical team:)

They are very prompt getting you to see the doctor. Dr. Westra is a very nice person. He doesn’t try to rush you or cut you off. I feel confident being under his care.

I have Been in pain for so long I didnt remember what living pain free felt like. I am So grateful to be back on the mend. Only 2 weeks post op. Feel like a whole new person.

Dr Westra takes the time to listen and go over options. I have a serious back problem but I am training for an Ironman triathlon. He didn't just tell me "don't do that", he works with me to help he reach my fitness goal without surgery at this point.

Dr. Westra is really very competent in his field as Neurosurgeon. I’m satisfied with his diagnosis regarding metastasis of cancer cells in my spine. But please advise one of your staff to be more courteous in dealing with patient while answering the phone.

If I could give Dr Westra a 10, I would. He is the most prompt and punctual doctor I have ever been a patient of. He is also an extremely talented and skilled surgeon. My spinal fusion surgery took over 4 hours, and as a result I am pain free and have had no problems afterward. Highly recommended!

Always professional, always punctual, always efficient. I feel as if I'm in good hands.

I have under Dr. Westra's care for the last five years. One surgery approximately 4 years ago. I was a little disappointed with my visit on November 7,2022 in that I was hoping to have him recommend an MRI soon. He recommended that I wait until I have a visit in Jan 23 and then have the MRI.
