What Our Patients Say

I can’t give enough praise to this team of medical professionals. When’s the last time you had an appointment with a doctor, and they call you up the night before to check on you and see if you had any questions or concerns before you go in for a procedure? That’s what they do! Dr. John West not only gave me a call the night before my first visit, but then carefully checked out my tooth situation during my first visit. Once confirmed that I needed a root canal, they set my surgery for the following week. The procedure itself was surprisingly painless. (It was my first root canal, and all I could think of was the old adage, “I’d rather have a root canal!”) I was done in about an hour, and had virtually no pain afterwards. Of course, the day after the procedure, I got another phone call directly from Dr. West, making sure everything was ok and if I had questions/concerns. He even gives his patients his cell phone number in case they need to get ahold of him right away. I’ve never had such attention from, and direct access to, the performing physician. Kudos to Dr. West and his friendly team to get me through this so well.

“Excellent work, a chill atmosphere, and a very cohesive team! I was referred to Dr. West for my root canal by my dentist because the tooth was turned making the roots kinda funky and the tooth an exceptionally hard place to get to. In fact, after getting the root canal I went back to the dentists for a crown and it was the most painful dental experience I’ve ever had. The root canal that Dr. West did? No pain. During or after. It’s been a few weeks now, and the actual root canal went better than any filling I’ve had! Most impressive is that Dr. West was very complimentary to the rest of the team and morale seemed high! Nothing is more nerve wracking than tension in the office before you get into the chair and you can’t help feeling more relaxed when everyone is working together well! If I ever need a root canal again I will be begging my dentist to let me go back.”
