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.

Extremely Neglectful
Dr. West has been my 'cardiologist' for 6 months now I still have not met or had any communication with him. Some of his medical advice was passed through my neurologist because he is incapable of communication. I get monthly reports from my internal monitor device. He is now a month late just signing his name to release my documents. So far my experience with him and pres cardiology and heart group has been terrible. I would avoid Presbyterian care at all costs and will be trying to transfer my care soon.

Dr West is an exceptional physician. Technically skilled and also dedicated to the well being of his patients. Both my husband and I have had an ablation procedure by Dr West.

Dr. West is incredible. Receiving a pacemaker in my early 20's was unexpected and hard enough, but with Dr. West by my side I felt very confident that the surgeries following would be as wonderful as the first. Dr. West explained everything in an easy to understand way to me and my large family. Thank you for all that you do!
