Review for Dr. West

My experience with Dr. Boykin has been nothing but positive, especially considering the pain I was in. He successfully repaired both my right and left shoulders. Dr. Boykin is an excellent listener and set realistic goals for me throughout both recoveries. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
