Dr West is always so professional, so caring and very helpful. He is also very good at keeping his appointments short so he doesn’t have patients waiting for hours. My young children had to accompany me to the appointment and when I needed a steroid shot in my hip, his nurse came and took my boys into the hall to give me some privacy. She was very kind to them and I was very grateful that the team valued my privacy and keeping my kids safe. Always a wonderful experience. -CBerg
