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 was my surgen when I had breast cancer in 2001 at age 38. . .and here I am 19 years later...minus one breast, but .. alive and living and loving each and every one of thoes 19 years that I never would have experienced but because of Dr.John West here I am! Dr. John West was clear, and upfront about everything that would happen throughiut the entire mastectomy and healing process. There were no suprises and failure was never an option. Dr.West saved my life and since 2001 I have never let a day go by without being greatful .

Dr West was my surgery when I needed surgery & when my daughter needed a lump removed, he was her surgeon as well. He is what you would call a doctors doctor. He is an excellent surgeon! Excellent!

I went to Dr. West for a second opinion and he missed my sage 3C breast cancer altogether. I had a 4 cm lump and lymph node involvement and he didn't find any of it. Called me by a wrong first name. Didnt seem to be on top of anything. HORRIBLE DOCTOR. Would never recommend him to anyone.
