    Worst dental experience of my life- DO NOT GO HERE!!!! They blamed my smoking a cigarette a day for…read morefailed implants and not the bone chips they left in my gums!!! ...and stitches didn't that dissolve - they knew I was horrified going in and even more so of them after the experience and then tried to bully me into more dental work to correct what I believe was their error. They took $4500 (These times have been a struggle and I have so very little already!) -$4,500 - for this torture that has left me with two missing teeth!! And even worst is their word means NOTHING because they agreed to give me $1500 back and then didn't because their lawyer said they didn't have to! Run!!! These people DO NOT DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!! I'd give negative stars if it was an option

    SECOND VISIT TO DR. WEST!! Another PERFECT EXPERIENCE!! Wow!! The most gifted dentist I have ever…read morebeen to. NO PAIN! I was in the chair for two hours!! I had a Major root canal surgery and was fitted with a temporary, and am currently awaiting my 3rd visit for my crown fitting. So glad I found him, it has been the SECOND non terrifying dental experience of my 53 years, the first experience was with him weeks prior. His staff are very comforting people to talk with before, during and after prep. The calm music, kind staff and visiting his beautiful office atmosphere once again lended to my experience. DR. WEST's SURGICAL SKILL is superb and has really gained my respect. He worked a long time on my 4root canal molar. A patient can get an intuitive sense and feel a doctors manner as the doctor works on you, and I can say firsthand his sensitivity combined with his knowledge of his craft can be felt as he works on you. DR. WEST is total confidence as he works on you and I felt in safe hands and could relax and trust him. I normally still cant relax or sit patiently without jittering with impatience in a dentist chair even on pain sedatives, but I feel a sense of trust and confidence in DR. WEST, and it is that sense which puts me at ease with him. I felt I must write about it to one who may be considering him. It shocks me to feel safe with a dentist, but I can with him. GARDEN SPOT DENTAL even has a driver service if you are close to the area. This was very helpful because I was on crutches and couldn't drive to my appointment. DR. WEST worked on my tooth with such care, and knowledge explaining to me all he was doing and what was happening and he kept me abreast of how much time I had left to be in the chair. Another example I felt at ease and why I say he's a good doctor because he's tuned into his patients mental state as he quelled my anxiety doing so. He made me feel very comfortable especially because he was aware of my state of mind of anxiety of wanting to get out of the chair after so long. He gets it and works fast and efficient. He puts me at ease because of his skill and one can feel "you're in good hands with DR. WEST." In fact, those were the exact words of the person who recommended me to him and I completely agree!! A caring doctor has been my experience. I found him to be very understanding of my anxiety of wanting to be out of the chair to be done with the procedure. That gets my vote! A doctor who is compassionate to his patient.

    My wife just completed her third appointment. The first was a consultation. The second was supposed…read moreto be the only one she would need to have the work completed. But, due to the excessive wait times, lack of communication from the assistant to the Dr., and the willful ignorance of Dr. West, whose bedside manner and dental techniques make the water-boarding rooms at Guantanamo Bay seem like a pleasant field trip, my wife had to endure this nightmare for yet a third time. She has been to many dentists in the area, and has even had little to no anesthesia for some of her 7 extractions over the years. In her own words, just the administering of the Novocaine felt like her gums were being sliced. She speaks from experience. 7-10 fillings, 5+ removals of mercury fillings for porcelain, 7 extractions (5 at once) for 3 years worth of braces as an adult, wisdom teeth removed with a local. This simple filling and on-lay was the worst pain shes ever felt during and after any dental procedure shes ever had. The doctor did not communicate what he was doing during the procedures, did not at any time give her an opportunity to rinse nor did he ever let he know that there was a rinsing station, and as soon as the procedure was over on both visits he just walked out the door without saying a word. This all started as a quest for a new dentist, one that's closer to home and offers a wider range of services from one office. During the initial consultation he said what he knew he had to say in order to earn our trust and business, but things changed on the second visit when he gave my wife two choices. And when she chose the least expensive route he became visibly agitated and took his frustrations out on my wife. So if you enjoy catching a virus from the assistant who has "allergies" and swallowing your own blood for $1200 then this is the dentist for you. By the way, there were no chocolate chip cookies as some people have claimed.
