I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM SPECIFICALLY AS A PHYSICIAN AT ALL. HIS ETHICS ARE NOT WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF HUMAN DECENCY. HE PUT MY CHILD IN A MENTAL BREAKDOWN EPISODE IN HIS OFFICE AND WAS THE PRIMARY PHYSICIAN TREATING HER WITH MEDICATION FOR HER CONDITION. AFTER 3 MONTHS, NOBODY FROM THE CLINIC HAS CALLED TO SEE IF SHE HAS RECOVERED FROM THE INCIDENT.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF NICE PA'S THERE, A FEW OF THE OFFICE STAFF ARE NICE, THE OFFICE MANAGER NEVER RETURNED OUR REQUEST FOR A PHONE CALL TO BE RETURNED AFTER OUR APPOINTMENT..

Dr. West seemed very unprofessional, busy and preoccupied. He was not accurate in his diagnosis and resented questions asked him. I found him rude and arrogant as well as his staff. He behaved in an unprofessional manner by giving a terminal illness diagnosis to a patient by phone and left the patient with no options or follow-up. A rude and unprofessional man.

Even though you have to wait awhile before being seen,Dr. West and his nurse Priscilla are worth that wait! He is very knowledgeable,kind and compassionate to both my parents that are his patients.The overall care is excellent! I have recommended him to friends and all have been very pleased.
