Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor and surgeon!
Dr. West listens, explains, and calms your nervous thoughts. He’s the only Orthopedic surgeon I will ever let do surgery on me. He’s done a few surgeries on me, he reattached my hip, my rotator cuff and more. He’s also done surgery on two of my children who played sports excessively.

He was very busy but a great doctor. Don’t think he was very happy to see me when he has two PA’s that could have done my post op. I trust him with all my ortho problems though.

Amazing Doctor
Dr.West is excellent in his field. I will continue to highly recommend him. He actually listens to you and works to find what's going on. If surgery is needed he is the best. I will not trust anyone else with anything orthopedic anymore as long as Dr.West is around!
