Most professional, knowledgeable and incredibly patience. In my 60 yrs, Dr West is the best ALL around doctor. I'm a nurse 25+ yrs, I've worked with many docs, now retired.

Outstanding! As a physical therapist I loved working w/Dr West’s patients because they do so well. Now I’m in need of surgery and there was no question who I would choose. I’d go further than the 2 hour drive each way if I had to. The office is extremely well run and efficient. Dr West’s PA,Travis, is a true gem as well.
