I have seen Dr. West in Oklahoma City. All she cared about is justifying care to Insurance companies, being overweight and Cholesterol. She missed my Hashimotos (ergo weight and high Cholesterol)which almost killed me. She had even commented on the buldge on my neck but never tested my thyroid. Gave me wrong information on how to prepare for blood work and did not follow up when one of my tests came back with very bad results. She sent me a note that she had to see me ASAP after I contacted her months later asking about the results of my tests. During follow up appointments I didn't even get to see her only her useless PA. She only goes thru the motions. This is a horrible doctor, no follow up, no knowledge about how to properly prepare for tests. Unfortunately so typical for Oklahoma.
