Dr. West is one of the best Doctors I’ve been to!
Dr. West quickly addressed my concerns and helped make a plan for treatment. He’s both kind and professional.
Just a terrific Dr that takes time to explain what I don’t understand.
Excellent orthopedist. Provided thorough feedback on my condition with X-rays! Hope I won’t have to return for a steroid injection!
I intermittently worked with Dr. West in my former role as a case manager for WC. Today I returned to him as a retired person with a shoulder issue. He was as I remember him, kind, attentive, and patient. Dr. West answered my questions, and was reassuring in his responses. He was, and still is one of the best for upper extremity issues.
Doctor and staff are awesome. Thank you All of you
