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.

Love him but really love his staff!
Dr. West is very knowledgeable and tries his hardest to allow your body to do everything on it’s own! He doesn’t push an induction unless it’s necessary, which was important to me (even though I ended up having to be induced). I do however think sometimes he has a hard time actually listening to the patient, but also in the end he knows what’s best majority of the time. His medical assistants however are AMAZING and I don’t have one negative thing to say about them. They are truly all so down to earth, caring, and make you feel like family (even the newer one). The midwife, Ester Davis is truly the BEST!!!! I cannot tell you how amazing she is. I had to see her one time after I had my baby because Dr. West couldn’t fit me in that day and she was so down to earth and caring and took her time with me and I wasn’t even her patient. The office over all is amazing needless to say!

I am new to the area but not new to Alabama. I was having a problem and stopped by his office to try to get an appointment. Due to a cancellation I was able to get in the same afternoon. Everyone there was extremely nice and professional. Dr. West explained everything perfectly and I was so relieved. I don't think anyone loves going to the doctor and to be able to say it went well is amazing.

Doctor West was very professional. I felt comfortable right away with him. He took the time to listen to everything I had to say and answered all of my questions. I felt like he really wanted to get to the root of the problem. I say wanted to because we are still doing test. I am 100% confident he will. I will be using him from now on.

My first time there was great. He is very professional. His office is very clean and smelled wonderful. His staff was very friendly. I loved how much he tried to help me. I ask a lot of questions and he did not mind answering them all. He took his time to make sure everything was done correctly. I found my new doctor. I would recommend him.
