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.

Dr West is thorough, helpful and courteous. I appreciate the way he included me in the decision making. One of the ladies at the front desk was helpful. The other poor young woman acted as if she’d rather be doing anything other than helping patients.

First Visit…
Today was my first visit with Dr West; I went for a consult on probable back surgery. Dr West proved to be knowledgeable, patient, and understanding of my problem from my point of view. I have no reason to expect that my upcoming surgery will be anything but a success, and come out exactly as he explained.

Dr West is the Best
Dr. West performed my spinal fusion surgery in March, 2024. At first I was a little intimidated because he is no “Chatty Cathy” but once I started seeing him both pre and post op, I found him to be caring as well as a very meticulous surgeon. Any questions or concerns were always answered in a knowledgeable, professional, manner. My calls were always promptly returned. I would recommend Dr. West to anyone needing spinal fusion surgery. He has a reassuring smile.
