My profession is my joy and a unique opportunity to do what I love. Growing up in my mothers dental office, I quickly developed a fascination with teeth. In school, I became enamored with creating smiles without drilling, which sparked my interest in orthodontics, a way to point teeth in the right direction.

After receiving my dental degree from the University of the Pacific, I headed to the University of Colorado for my orthodontic training. Colorado was a nice change of pace, but after a quick 27-month residency, I decided the warm weather of California was calling me home. Im an avid attendee of continuing education courses. Learning doesnt stop at residency, and if anything, Im discovering more now than I did in school. I embrace technology and innovative techniques, and I enjoy implementing new things in our practice.

At West Orthodontics, we strive to always deliver the very best. This shines in our custom treatment plans, advanced technology, and friendly yet professional demeanor. Our ultimate goal is for every patient to walk away from their time in active treatment with a healthy, beautiful smile on their face.

Dr. West takes on far too many patients. If life happens and you have to reschedule an existing appointment you have to wait 8 weeks for a new appointment, even if you do it a month in advance. This obviously is not great for ortho treatment. Unfortunatly it seems he is more about making money than taking care of his patients.

Dr. West and his staff are AMAZING. If you're looking for a team of excellent staff who treat you like family and truly care about you, that's Dr. West and his team. I just finished my journey with them and couldn't be more amazed with the great transformation he has done for me. I started on this journey afraid and embarrassed to smile. I was always covering my mouth when laughing, never showed teeth during photos, and always being asked where are your front teeth (they were pushed up high so you were not able to see them when I talked). During every visit Dr. West and his staff made me feel like I was the most important person there at the time and surrounded me with such a friendly/family environment. I always could feel they truly cared about me and everyone else that came in. You could see it was never about money for them or "just a job" always about making people feel beautiful. Now I have a beautiful smile with teeth and a super confidence boost. Thank you all so much I feel truly blessed and so grateful for all of you who helped me on this journey. Keep up the smiling faces, great work, and family friendly environment, it's noticed. Thank you for helping lift my self esteem and confidence. I've never felt so beautiful Wishing Dr. West's office and all who read this beautiful blessings to come!

Dr West and his staff are always professional and personal at each visit. Their offices are always clean and offer a welcoming feel. The technology they use is state of the art and i couldnt be more pleased with my results. They are flexible in setting up a payment schedule that worked for our budget. Definitely recommend!!!

Highly recommend Dr. West! He has reasonable payment plans, a wide variety of services, and it's easy to get in when you need to be seen. He fitted me for Invisalign and was honest about what to expect as an adult patient. He even transferred his work and my records to another orthodontist free of charge when I moved out of state. He did complimentary laser gum contouring right there in his office. I'd happily fly back for appointments if I would have known that I wouldn't find an orthodontist as qualified as he is and with as many offerings as his office has.

Dr. West and his staff are a blessing in my life and I am extremely happy God led me to them. Have you ever felt uncomfortable to do something as simple as smile? Well I did! My front teeth were very high and so it appeared as though I was missing my front teeth. This affected the way I talked and the way I ate. For years I'd never smile with my teeth because I was embarrassed. I was also embarrassed about being a thumb sucker. Little kids and adults would ask me what happened to your teeth? Where are your teeth? Why do you talk like that? Why do you cut your corn off of the cob? Why can't you eat ribs without cutting it off the bone? I did this because my front teeth didn't touch. These questions made me even more self-conscious until the day I decided to make an appointment at Dr. West's office. His name stuck out to me not only because my dentist referred me to him but also because years prior my sister had told me about a Dr. West she saw. She said he was extremely kind hearted and she knew he wasn't in it for the money but he seemed to truly care for the patient. I had made other appointments before and received estimates of the work I needed to have done and they were nice too but never did I ever feel the way I felt in his office. From the moment I walked in I felt the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Not just one or two but all of them. I hesitated on being honest about the thumb sucking but knew he couldn't help me if I didn't tell him everything. The first staff member Katie brought me back into a room and I let her know why I was there and told her everything. She made me feel so safe and secure and unashamed. She let me know they were there not to judge only to help me. A little later Dr. West came in the room and shook my hand to introduce himself and just as nice as Katie was Dr. West was the same. He made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. He never once made me feel uncomfortable or judged. He asked me what would you like to get from your teeth? I told him I don't want to suck my thumb and I want a beautiful smile. He told me if I do my part he can give that to me. So now came the other part I was worried about. How much? His cost was the same if not lower than my other quotes and his quote didn't include surgery. He felt he could give me what I wanted without it. They were so willing to help get the cost down as low as possible and affordable for me. I don't remember all of his words that day but I can tell you he told me he wanted to help give me a beautiful smile. I felt the sincerity of his voice and knew he wasn't there to just collect a check he was there to help me change my life. To him I will forever be grateful. Here I am about a year later and nothing has changed. The staff are all extremely caring and helpful and Dr. West is just as caring and sincere today as he was a year ago. Even the wait time is good. Rarely do I ever have to wait long. The best thing of all is I already have a gorgeous smile and I am not even done yet and no thumb sucking. If you are contemplating on who to choose for your orthodontist Dr. West is the man to see. He does great work and has a great heart. Something that's not easy to find. Thank you all for everything! You will never know how much you've helped change my life by something as simple as a smile. May God bless you all and those who come to see you

Great to get braces on. I got my braces when I was in 6th grade through West. Treat the patients and their family well. They have a little celebration when the braces finally come off.
