Love him he has done two complete hip surgeries on me and one knee. Wonderful surgeon and caring human being. He’s been my surgeon since 2012 and all of them were perfect.

Dr. West did my knee surgery years ago. So when I started having issues with my hip I went in to see him again and was able to get in quickly. He is a wonderful dr he listens and doesn’t rush you in and out. He also did my mom’s knee surgery years ago to. Great doctor!

I love him and I’ve only met him twice. My mom is about to have hip replacement surgery and I will soon be getting a knee replacement and we couldn’t be more impressed with doctor West.
