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.

Great provider. Listened to and acknowledged all of my concerns. Did not dismiss me because of my age. When I recommend a different route and took the steps to go that way, she approved it right away.

Dr. West is awesome. Very clear, very personable. She pays attention, doesn't click away on a computer the whole time. I always feel like she just gets it, even when she's rushed.

Dr. West always has enough time to make the visit personal. I appreciate her spunky attitude and love for her profession. I enjoy my visits with her. She gives realistic expectations for my health moving forward, and helps educate me so I create realistic goals in regards to my health. I am lucky to have her as my provider.

Excellent- she took the time to go over my test results with me in a lot of detail and make sure all my questions were answered. She provided me with various follow-up options and their pros and cons. After I made my decision she ordered follow up tests immediately

She was very caring and informative. She wrote out specific plan for me with medication and made sure it was on my written information sheet - on the top so I could easily find it.

We couldn’t have found a better doctor. Dr. West was absolutely fantastic. She made us feel at ease and spoke with such confidence about everything we questioned throughout the pregnancy. I look forward to the day we have another child and see Dr. West again.
