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 PA
David was great! I have been through a lot of providers at this practice in the past several years and I'm grateful I got to see David. He is patient, knowledgeable and took the time to listen and understand what I have going on. I look forward to seeing him again in the future.

Thorough visit
David was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns carefully, and made sure all my concerns were heard before I left the appointment. I really appreciated knowing he had time to listen and to be sure my needs were met before I left.

Affable provider
David was very pleasant to work with. He seemed compassionate, was attentive to my description of my problem, and was reassuring. However, it's more than 36 hours since I left the office, and my antibiotic prescription has still not been sent to my pharmacy. I've reached out to the practice several times throughout the following day, both by phone and by patient portal, and again today and have only received automated responses online, confirming my efforts to reach the office. Could be a staffing problem or illness in the office, hard to say. Other than being unable to pick up my rx, I would give David a five.

Condescending
If you are looking for a rude and condescending PA, he is the one to see. Also the first medical professional that has ever recorded a medical conversation. He didn’t want to listen, and then accused me of interrupting him. Fortunately, there are great doctors at New West; he is just not one of them

Terrible listener and communicator
He started out as a great provider but something changed in 2023. He was unable to follow communications with me on a topic resulting in my being recommended to specialists I didn’t need. It was as if instead of seeking answers to something he didn’t understand, he tried to push me off to other providers to deal with a very basic issue. I couldn’t get the results I needed from him as a provider so I had to report him to Hr and am now under the care of a different provider at the same office. The office has been sympathetic and supportive and have justified my actions as a patient. Everyone has a bad day, but this was ongoing for months.
