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.

Very polite, answering all questions

Yes I would definitely recommend Dr. West.
Every step of my visit was prompt and professional ! Dr West was straight to the point and his assistant proceeded next with the examination on my shoulder and then Dr. West was able to recommend an MRI which they set up for a few days later. Now I can expect to have relief from my shoulder pain sooner than later.

Excellent physician
On the negative side, there was a 40 minute wait from the time I checked in to when I was seen by the physician. On the positive side, he was really excellent, diagnosed my circumstance quickly, and did a treatment that will hopefully improve the situation. And the rest of the professional staff were very competent.

Shoulder pain
This was my second injection in my shoulder for recurring pain. The first shot lasted about five weeks. Dr. West is so professional and yet extremely personal. He’s an excellent doctor and I would recommend him to absolutely anybody.

I couldn’t even begin to thank Dr West for all that he has done for me and my kids through the years. He has done several surgeries which all turned out to be successful. His bed side manner is amazing. I highly recommend him.
