Notes from the doctor
Hello! My name is Ben Westbrook. I am an ENT surgeon and I have been practicing here in El Paso since 2013. Since my arrival in El Paso my primary obligation has been to care for the ENT needs of active-duty military personnel, their dependents and VA beneficiaries.
I am comfortable managing most head and neck pathology (no spine or brain issues). I have a particular interest in the following types of surgery and disease processes:

Notes from the doctor
I began my career as a nurse in 2002. I worked in various settings such as ICU, medical/surgical, dermatology, allergy, and nephology. I attended Angelo State University, where I received my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) & Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)– graduating with honors. I received clinical training in ENT and the primary care settings to provide care to families and individuals across the lifespan. I am also a UTEP graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
I am excited to be working with Dr. Westbrook and the rest of the team as I share the same goals and values in providing “top-notch care, continuing education, and improving patient’s quality of life.
