Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

SBRT Success.
Dr. West and his entire staff are knowledgeable, professional and thorough. They performed a process known Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT} on my small cell lung cancer. This routine isn't right for every one, but I encourage you to do a search on "SBRT" and do some research on your own. It was my experience that Oncologists prefer routine surgery over SBRT, perhaps because only a few cancer victims will meet the complete criteria necessary for recovery. Also, there's been no adequate double blind studies to justify this procedure for most. I highly recommend Dr. West and his staff.

From the moment we stepped through the doors of Texas Oncology I knew we were in the right place. The front staff were always so helpful and pleasant. Personable and polite. Then we met Dr. West and his team and that just solidified our decision to go there for treatment. I cannot sing praise enough on how Dr West and his nurse treated my father. His knowledge surpassed all expectations. Dad is handicapped so I was at each appointment. Would I recommend Dr West and his team, ABSOLUTELY!!!

A doctor that during all my visits with him, showed concern into my treatment and well being. Dr. West explains every thing in a manner that we (My wife and I) would understand and if we had any questions he would always take the time to answered them. A very respectful and professional Medical Doctor that is easy to speak to about my treatment matters. Easy, I would recommend Dr. West to everyone besides my family and friends.
