She is also the Founder of the Adventist Health Early All-Around Detection (AHEAD) Program.

“Preventive care is important to me. I believe in partnering with and empowering patients on their journey to find health, treating the whole patient, and not focusing only on disease” expressed Dr. Westgate.

Her scope of practice includes obstetrical care, gynecology care, and surgical intervention, including major and minor gynecological procedures, with an emphasis on all procedures using minimally invasive techniques.

She then went on to perform her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., serving as chief resident in her final year.

Subsequent to her training, she attained board certification in obstetrics and gynecology through the American Osteopathic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOBOG). The AOBOG is an organization that provides board certification to qualified Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) who specialize in the care of the female reproductive tract and children during the course of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period (obstetricians) and to qualified DOs who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive tract (gynecologists).

Maintaining fellowship status, Dr. Westgate is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG).

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). Obstetricians and gynecologists are medical professionals who specialize in treating the uterus and associated anatomy.
