Outstanding! Dr. West was attentive and truly cared about my health. I had another cardiologist for over 5 years. After my visit w/Dr. West, he called me in the evening to update me on what he found out about my medical history - I am extremely happy w/Dr. West. Highly recommend!

Dr. West is a great doctor. He does a great job of explaining things in a way that's easy to understand, answers any questions I have, and makes an active effort to inform and include me in any decisions about my care. He also takes time to get to know me as a person, rather than "just another patient" which helps me to feel that any recommendations about my care are tailored to me instead of just a generic suggestion.

Dr.West was OUTSTANDING!!! Clearly he had thoroughly reviewed my medical record, had excellent questions for me, and spent a good deal of time discussing my Issues. I feel confident we will find the 'heart' of my recent health Issues, I only wish I had seen him BEFORE my recent pacemaker procedure.
