Dr. Laura West, MD

Dr West is very impersonal, not concerned about the patient at all. She is medication only. She might as well be a human robot because she shows no empathy or compassion. She makes you feel as if you are on her to do list, next…..I asked about the medication and the risks. Her response was to cut medication in half. And the suicidal risk for stopping a drug would be for ages 25 years and under, and that it would not apply to me. Really??? How can she even suggest that (as if this is a one size fits all Scenario),She is very arrogant meeting her is why so many people DON’T or WON’T seek psychiatric help. She makes you feel useless. I see why she has a 1.4 rating.

Very patronizing, arrogant psychiatrist. Thinks that she is God's gift to the world. Not helpful AT ALL. Prescribes medication like she is supposed to, but treats patients and their family members like dirt. Not empathetic at all. Hope she is not in this facility for too long. Complete disservice to those who are suffering and need a shoulder to lean on; even though she's a psychiatrist, and not a therapist, it is expected that she behave in an empathetic manner and not so coldly.
