Dr West was kind, caring and attentive!! I had issues with my hormone and she did not treat me like some other doctors did with disregard and oh you’re just old and she did a very thorough evaluation. She was kind she was caring. I had to have a biopsy, which was extremely painful she walked me through the process with knowledge and patience and care. Highly recommend.

Dr West had plenty of time for all my questions. She was very thoughtful and thorough. She’d come highly recommended by my gynecologist who recently retired, and I am happy to say that I feel like I am in good hands with her.

Dr. West is so approachable and really puts her patient’s at ease. Having discussions about one’s health care can be overwhelming but she is able to make her patients feel heard, and seen, and that is priceless!

Good at speaking to people in s plain non- threatening way, quick to react when something out of the ordinary occurs - always in a pleasant mood.

This was my first visit with Doctor West. We sat and spoke about my needs and concerns. She was very clear and direct in answering all my questions with much care and compassion. I left feeling quite confident in putting my medical needs in her very capable hands. I must add that she is quite lovely and charming as well.
