    I knew at a young age I wanted to practice medicine. I was fascinated with people as well as science; how everything worked together to make us who we are. I chose pediatric primary care because I truly enjoy building relationships with families. I love kids and watching them grow. Children bring so much joy and I feel privileged to be a part of their lives. Being a parent myself, I understand and relate to parents and I work hard to help them feel confident and enjoy the challenges and rewards of every age and milestone their child reaches. I believe preventive medicine is important for keeping our kids safe and strong. I am also passionate about setting a foundation for good nutrition and active lifestyles at young age. This can mean a lifetime of health and happiness. We want our office to be a place where families can feel comfortable to express their opinions and concerns, and to partner with us in their child’s care. With a background working with infants who require intensive care, I have special experience in treating newborns and helping new moms succeed in breastfeeding.

    I am a native Floridian, having been born and raised in Orlando. I spent my undergraduate years at University of Florida, followed by medical school and residency at University of South Florida. I’ve spent nearly all of my career practicing pediatrics in Vero Beach. I love everything about the Florida outdoors — fishing, gardening and kayaking are just a few of the activities I enjoy. Chidren are not just little adults. I am continually surprised and fascinated by the different stages of development each child goes through to become an adult. It is an honor to partner with each family during this journey to adulthood.  After more than 20 years in practice, I now have the privilege of seeing former patients become parents, which means I have the opportunity to influence a second generation. There are very few professions that can provide that satisfaction! I am passionate about patient education. In this age of the internet and Google, it’s difficult for parents and patients to navigate through the vast amount of information at their fingertips. It is my job to make sure that they have accurate information so they can make their own health care decisions.  I’m also passionate about my own education. Much of the advice I pass on to current patients, I learned from former patients. Finally, I support education of new doctors in my role as a professor for the Florida State University College of Medicine. I take an active role in training the next generation of physicians during their third year of medical school. Makng a difference is what we all strive to do. Each of us contributes in different ways to our communities. I try to participate in community events and local fundraisers for charities, especially when it benefits a patient. Our staff consistently supports benefits for organizations such as the Epilepsy Foundation and the March of Dimes to name just a few. Dr. Westberry is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Canker Sore. Her top areas of expertise are Food Allergy, Obesity in Children, Developmental Expressive Language Disorder, and Developmental Dysphasia Familial.

    Like many children of physicians, I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a doctor. My father was an infectious disease specialist who dedicated his entire career to research. Today, medicine is still a family dynamic for me. My husband is an ophthalmologist (eye doctor), and both of our daughters want to be physicians too. I guess you could say it’s in our blood. I have a natural tendency to nurture others. As a very young child I enjoyed taking care of people, particularly children. I knew then that pediatrics would be my specialty, and today I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do. I am passionate about children having access to the best medical care possible. I love being part of the family and I think it’s important that every child feels safe, cared for and loved. I treat every child as my own, and my care doesn’t end when the office closes. I worry about patients as I do my own, I have pride in them as I do my own, and I treat them gently and respectfully.

    What is the definition of Canker Sore?

    A canker sore is a painful, open sore in the mouth. Canker sores are white or yellow and surrounded by a bright red area. They are not cancerous.

    A canker sore is not the same as a fever blister (cold sore).

    When should I see a Canker Sore doctor near Vero Beach, FL?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Canker Sore doctor near Vero Beach, FL?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Canker Sore doctors near Vero Beach, FL?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Canker Sore doctors near Vero Beach, FL?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Canker Sore doctor near Vero Beach, FL?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Canker Sore doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Canker Sore doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Canker Sore doctor near Vero Beach, FL?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Canker Sore doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Canker Sore doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Canker Sore doctors near Vero Beach, FL?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Canker Sore doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Canker Sore doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Canker Sore doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
