Dr West is excellent. He had already called me after reading the echocardiogram. He reviewed the stress test results and reviewed those results in light of the current echocardiogram and last one. And he discussed how the heart meds I am taking help my 80 year old heart. The way he presented the information was easy to understand and he answered questions I had along the way.

Dr. West is a blessing in my life. No matter how busy Dr. West Is (and I know he is extremely busy), he enters the room fully prepared and gives me his full attention.
