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.

Bad outcome and experience with dr West
1 year ago Dr West performed Mohs surgery on my bottom lip, squamous skin cancer. While he was cutting , stitching he was listening to a book on tape about nazis ,the holocaust and the horrors of it all. Not what I wanted to hear at the time. During the 45 min procedure he did not once check in with me as to how I was doing, feeling. When he finished I asked how many stitches there were , he replied, too many to count. Said it looked good and left. Needless to say I felt like a body part. Later I was told there will be numbness that should go away after 6 month , very rarely would it stay numb for good. Well mine is still numb and there is a scar! His demeanor is what disturbed me the most. Dermatology Associates other drs. and staff have been very good. I tell all my firends and family to never use Dr West!

Dr. West removed a basal cell carcinoma and did an excellent job. Used Mohs Surgery and left a very minimal scar. Couldn't be more pleased. Will definitely recommend him.

Dr, West removed a melanoma growth from my upper forehead. His patient rapport is outstanding, taking a lot of time to explain each step of the procedure thoroughly. I fell lucky to have him as a physician.
