Dr. Derek West's comprehensive practice ranges from general orthopedics and trauma to sports medicine, joint replacement procedures, and shoulder & elbow surgery. Utilizing arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques, patients benefit from smaller incisions, less pain, shorter rehabilitation periods, and an earlier return to activity.

BEST in OKC
He was very personable and explained everything
Dr. West has my trust. Most Doctors today have lost their Personal Touch to their Patients. Plus Dr. West is the Absolute Best Physician in SouthWest United States!… He basically saved my Career from my Total knee replacement!
He immediately identified the source of my problem and the appropriate treatment.
After 2 surgeries one shoulder and Hip. I finally get to see him, A Dr should see his patient after each surgery . Both surgeries were on the right side , I did not receive any home health , I had a diffult time having to use the rest room, my shoulder got worse . Medical staff in charge were of no help. My children had to pay a company to come and take care of me. We were all disappointed in the treatment received from O Com : Dr West , Orthpaedic facility. August 26 was my only visit with Dr. west after my surgeries . To let him know the difficult time I went through. Double the shoulder pain.
He’s very knowledgeable, professional and very kind.
Doctor West is the best!
Thumbs up!
Great doctor! Very good at explaining results, what needs to be done, etc.
He's a great doctor.
