Doctor also has worked with me in a partnership to figure out what my needs are and makes sure they are met.  He listens very intently and asks questions if need be.  I am very happy he is my doctor.  Something that could be very scary for me is pleasant.  Thank you!"

"I am treated with respect.  Dr. Westerback actually cares about me and my wellbeing.  The doctor really listens to and understands my situation and emotions.  He competently manages my medications and explains the rationale for selecting treatments.  Dr. Westerback has been amazing.  I love having him as my doctor.  I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. (The office staff is great too.)"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Westerback’s for four years.  I have always felt tremendous compassion from Dr. Westerback regarding my personal situation.  Even when there were times I did not see how we could resolve my situation he continued to work with me through various treatment protocols until we found one that worked for me.  He took plenty of time to educate me on the various medications that are available, what the potential side effects could be and what his experience has been with other patients.  I always felt that we cam to an agreed upon treatment protocol and even though I would say “You’re the doctor”, he never just wrote me a prescription without talking me through my thoughts and if I believed we were going in the right direction.

If I ever had a problem or concern there was never an issue of making time to see me within 24 hours or less.  I am very happy to say that I continue to improve my life each day and where I thought I would never experience Hope or Joy again, now I experience them every day.

I thank God for directing me to contact Dr. Westerback’s office when I knew I needed some type of mental health help but did not know what to do.

I have the utmost respect and trust in D. Westerback’s abilities and for his genuine concern, care and time he has given me. I cannot thank him and his wonderful staff enough for all they have done for me."

"Having been in the healthcare/pharmaceutical field my entire career, I cannot stress enough how critical it is to good medical care to find the right physician—particularly when it comes to psychiatry and mental health.  That is why I am so supportive of Dr. Westerback and want to write a brief testimonial for him.  I have tremendous respect for him as a practitioner because he is at the top of skills when it comes to understanding a patient, understanding a patient’s needs, and truly empathizing with what a patient is going through.

Dr. Westerback is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest medications and he is always interested in learning more.  (Not all physicians are, unfortunately).  You will feel like you are in very good hands with Dr. W.—and you will be!
P.S. His staff is also very warm and accommodating."

"Prior to finding Dr. Westerback, I was going through a vicious cycle of depression and anxiety. I had gone to Dr. after Dr. with no relief or understanding of my condition, or what medications I needed. I was falling apart. Not able to work and feeling suicidal. I was shocked at how kind, understanding, and knowledgeable he was. It was like he knew my whole life. He made me feel safe and gave me hope. He saved my life. He got me on the right medications and I finally after years of suffering became functional. Dr. Westerback has helped me through the most difficult times in my life. I highly and without hesitation recommend Dr. Westerback to anyone who needs a qualified, educated and up to date on current medications and treatment Psychiatrist. I am forever grateful to Dr. Westerback and his staff."

"Dr. Westerback is a genuine and “real” Dr. who cares about your true well being. He asks you, the patient, the questions which in turn gives you the chance to understand how your diagnosis or condition works. He explains and gives the time to discuss what options you have. He never says “try this, see you in a week.” He makes sure you are comfortable and you will have some relief before you leave because you are never pushed out after 15 or 20 minutes.
He is as genuine as you can get. You can’t ask for more. I am blessed to have found and be treated by him. Words can’t even explain just how much my life has grown with his help."

"Dr. Westerback’s staff has always been warm, kind and very professional, not to mention prompt in taking care of any needs I may have. Dr. Westerback is informed, inquisitive and open minded. I highly recommend his services. "

"I have been going to Dr. Westerback for 3 years now. I have always been treated with respect and kindness. I feel that Dr. Westerback really cares about me and my well being. In sessions, he always listens to my problems and concerns to the fullest extent. He is very sensitive to my situations and emotions. Due to a medical condition I can’t take certain medications, but he always tries to work around it. When I ask a question about anything he explains the pros and cons for selecting my treatment and my medications. At times I have to see him on short notice and he and his staff do everything to accommodate me. Sue, his office manager always responds to my needs. Dr. Westerback also has a very good sense of humor."

"I have been seeing Dr. Westerback for approximately 6 years. From the first appointment, I had a sense of being understood for the first time in my life. He knew exactly what I was feeling. He diagnosed my condition accurately, and prescribed the medications he knew would work for me. He’s a very compassionate doctor who truly cares about his patients. My friends and family noticed a big difference in my attitude. I will refer him to anyone who asks about a psychiatrist. His staff has been very sweet to me, even when I call in a panic. They take the time to listen to me rant about my problems. I love that office, and look forward to seeing all of them."
