I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2020. After 16 rounds of chemo I made the difficult decision to have both my breast removed. The surgery went very well within 2 days I was up and around with minimal pain. I highly recommend Dr West!!! He and his staff are excellent. He saved my life and I will forever be grateful!!!!

Dr. West performed surgery on me 10/10/2019 to remove a Desmoid Tumor! Once inside Dr. West encountered a 8 pound tumor which was not visible for the CT scan, we thought a 7 or 8 inches tumor was the task at hand, however a big surprise was enlarged and interwind through my small intestine. No problem for Superman he identified the invader and remove the entire tumor and 12 inches of my small intestine and close me back up with stiches and 25 plus staples. I was released from Roper hospital ready to rock. Dr. West is seasoned and prepared, he ordered an additional CT scan with and without contrast so he can ensure the location of my blood vessels and arteries prior to attacking the invader....Dr. West is the only surgeon that will enter my body for anytime of surgery as long as he is working. I trust him totally. I highly recommend him....He is the BEST
