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.

Five Gold Stars Not Enough
Dr West and his staff go above and beyond the typical call of duty and this shows in their work. Fortunately for me, but not so much for Dr West, I met him on a Saturday and had surgery 10 days later. Dr West again went above and beyond by coming in on a day typically used for office visits, to do my ankle leg surgery at St Michael. Dr Wests' explanation of what needed to happen, why and when actually made me look forward to healing. Extremely professional and more than happy to take the extra time, if needed. My goal was to get him back to to what he does best, and me too. Thank you all!!

Dr. West did a great job of explaining the condition of my knee. He was not rushed and very thorough. He did not counsel surgery at this time and encouraged me to reach out to him if my condition got insufferable. He expressed his advice in a warm and inviting manner that clearly indicated his interest in me as an individual.

He is a “quack.” He caused my husband to Need a second hip replacement. He did so much damage to the bones that my husband will live in pain and with a permanent limp for the rest of his life.

Dr. West had a difficult surgery on my right knee. First he had to take out pins and try to correct a surgery I had 42 years before! Then a total knee replacement as well as re-aligning my knee. Since this surgery was so involved, I was in a cast for 6 weeks then months of extensive rehabilitation. Dr. West was incredible in terms of explaining what he had to do as well as the extensive followup. Personable and professional.

Dr West fixed my ACL and things have gone great. I'm back to running and my knee doesn't give out any more. He took the time to explain everything to me which helped me get back faster than I expected
