Jesse West, M.D.
I came to Dr. West as a second opinion when I was told I needed shoulder surgery for a minor injury by another provider. Dr. West put my mind at ease and assured me I didn't need surgery. He answered at my questions. So glad I got a 2nd opinion.

Christopher Lechner, M.D.
Dr Lechner was kind, actually empathetic about my issues. I felt he was concerned, but vied on the side of caution before jumping into surgery. He made a good case for waiting and I'll see him again in 2 months.
