I had a difficult injury to my shoulder. Even Dr. West questioned the repair of the injury. But he was able to repair it. My shoulder is doing great. I still have months of healing to come but it is doing great! Dr. West and all the staff of Carolina Hand are very kind personable people! I’ve talked to many of the staff and everyone has treated me with the upmost kindness. And Dr. West was very kind. He explained my injury in great detail to me. He helped me to understand all the parts of the injury and encouraged me that he could repair it and in one surgery. Surgery was easy. Dr West did a great job and all the staff took special care of me. The follow-ups have been encouraging and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. West.

Jesse West did shoulder surgery on me Wednesday, April 10. I had 3 tears- rotator cuff, labral tear and bicep tendon tear plus bursitis. The bicep tear healed itself and he repaired the other two along with removing burrs from shoulder. Surgery was outpatient and was quick. Dr. West checked on me that evening and today, 2 days later I returned to his office for bandage to be changed. My pain has been very minimal. I heard so many great things about Dr. West and his PA, Travis. I highly recommend them for anyone needing shoulder surgery.

Due to my profession this was my ninth surgery. Only the neurosurgeon (twice) and Dr. West have been thorough post-op and brilliant in the op. Why post op? Each had at the ready a group of PT’s to choose from and then left nothing to chance in rehab by communicating a precise protocol to the PT in writing, and continued to monitor that progress and update when to move to the next level. Brilliant! No after-surgery care is left undirected, ensuring that incredible surgical skills are not wasted in a poor rehab environment. Thank you, Dr. West and crew.
