"Best dentist ever! Dr. West and his team are awesome. Basically saved my life with a sleep appliance that cured my sleep apnea without the need for a C-pap so I can travel easily and every service has been top notch from scheduling and the front desk helping manage your insurance to the hygienists who take care of all your routine maintenance. Just an excellent experience every time and I used to hate going to the dentist. Love these guys!"

David G.

"Dr. West is an excellent clinician and has great staff. I have had 2 crowns done in his office in the last year and the experience was professional, smooth and pain-free. His current cutting edge technology allows the crown to be fabricated in-house and makes the entire process a lot quicker. My other crown was sent to a lab for fabrication and still a quick process and perfect fit. The staff is experienced, caring and professional as well. Given my experience of spending a lot of time in dental chairs I highly recommend Dr. West!!!"

Can't imagine going anywhere else."
