The office runs efficiently and the staff is polite and cheerful. When a line formed at the discharge desk today, other clerks took over to help shorten the line. The radiology tech was knowledgeable and efficient. Dr West is always warm and approachable yet somehow always manages to be on time! He explains everything, including the XRays. I always feel confident in the diagnosis and plan.

Dr. West replaced my shoulder 3 months ago. I am still in PT and want to continue for another month. Dr. West did an excellent job on my 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.

Dr. West is a true professional. I was referred to Dr. West by four individuals and I am very thankful for their recommendation. I have had minimal pain during my six week recovery time, including those first few days after surgery.

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.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jesse West. He has performed two surgeries for me (& getting ready to do a 3rd) and both experiences so far have been excellent medically as well as excellent from a customer service point of view. Dr. West listened to me, paid attention to my questions and resolved all my concerns. He's been patient and caring in all my encounters with him. In addition to Dr. West's care, his staff is consistently caring and concerned. They treated me as an individual that mattered and I appreciate them all.

THE VERY BEST! I have been seeing Dr West now for close to 18 years and I’ve yet to find anyone that can top this doctor. His knowledge, decision making and care is second to none. It’s important to him to get it right. I could go on and on, but i will say if you’re having issues with your shoulder, arm or elbow you won’t find anyone any better. HE IS THE BEST!!!!

Dr. West is a great surgeon, everything went just as he said it would. All my follow up visits were so quick, he never kept me waiting. My rotator cuff is healing up very well. I should be back on the court next month. I wouldn't hesitant to have him as my surgeon, but I'm hopeful that I'm done with anymore surgeries.

Dr. West is known as THE rotator cuff surgeon in the Asheville area for good reason; besides his expertise, he is kind, friendly, with a caring bedside manner. While I realize every person has a different experience, my recovery from rotator cuff surgery was amazingly fast with minimal pain. After 8 weeks I was able to resume work in my garden!

I had shoulder resurfacing in July of 2018. My shoulder was frozen as a result of bone spurs. I taught handicapped skiing and had numerous injuries. I had no pain after surgery and only took one pain pill. I worked very hard and was diligent with pushing hard in physical therapy. I was released from PT with out full range of motion although I hired a personal trainer. I am stronger than I have ever been and have improved my overall athleticism I am 61 years of age and am a testament that hard work in both PT and hiring a personal trainer got me back to more than 100%.

I tore my rotator cuff, tendon and bicep and Dr. West put me back together and did a spectacular job. I was in rehab the next day - had minimal post-op pain - have full range of motion and I'm only 3 months out. Not bad for my age! Dr. West is open, professional, caring, listens, and provides complete descriptions of what's going on at all stages. And he's just a great guy. I'm more than pleased that he's the one who did my surgery.

I destroyed my shoulder doing whitewater kayaking, smashed into a river bounder which dislocated my shoulder, tore my lebrum, severed (not tore, severed) my supraspinatus rotator cuff, dented my humerus and left me with a couple of bone chips floating around. It was bad. Jay West performed the surgery, and after 6 months of PT and followup exercises (I was religious about PT), I now have full strength and range of motion in that shoulder. I can't say enough good things about Dr. West. A+

Having just moved from Virginia, I asked friends and healthcare professionals who they recommended to repair a messed up rotator cuff. Everyone told me to go to Dr. West. Three physical Therapist told me that if I wanted good results, quick recovery time, limited pain and minimal surgical scars to go to Dr. West. The surgery was a breeze and I cant find my scars. I had minimal pain including therapy and was to 100% range of motion within 10 weeks. I was well informed of the process. Great

Dr. West fixed a tear in my shoulder that another shoulder surgeon said couldn't be fixed. I'm now back to work with no pain and excellent strength. I've already sent several co-workers to Dr. West and he's helped them too, some only needed an injection. Stop researching and make an appt with Dr. West.

Dr West was thorough in reviewing my history and my chart. He fielded my questions well and used charts that illustrated procedural options. I left feeling I was listened to and that we found the correct way to proceed.
