Elizabeth West, Md's Online Review Report Card

I’m not used to Dr’s starting the visit with a check in totally unrelated to my appointment but every time I’ve visited Dr. West, she gets to know me as a person not just a patient. She’s light hearted, kind and funny to boot and I’m always a bit more calm after our visits than before. She’s also a consummate professional and always willing to listen. We need more physicians like her.

Breath of fresh air! She was very detailed about what to expect as well as empathetic towards my feelings and needs. Would highly recommend her.

I am normally a patient of Dr Spielvogel, who I love, but he was not available when I spontaneously went into labor and arrived at the hospital two weeks before my due date. Dr west was on call and I knew from previous interactions that I didn't want her as my Dr for my delivery, however things were moving too quickly and I was given no choice. She spoke down to me during the pushing phase of my delivery, as if I didn't know what I was doing or it wasn't good enough. The fact that I didn't lose my cool on her is a miracle as I was just so focused on getting through the pain as it was an all natural delivery. The nurses in the room were even stunned at her attitude with me and the comments she was making. I had the best birth possible with the worst Dr. I would not recommend her to anyone. I even had to return to L&D to have my stitches redone as they came undone from her poor attention to detail. She made it seem like she didn't want to be there at all. Very surprising coming from a fellow woman and mother.

I have been going to Dr. West for years. She is always compassionate, thorough and knowledgeable. I always feel comfortable in her office. She also is efficient and runs on time. I recommend her to all my friends!

Dr. West is one of my top 2 OBGYN Dr. West it’s always so punctual and she doesn’t make us wait for more than 5 minutes. She is very smart, knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, kind, understanding, explains everything well and in simple terms. She listens and she gives great advice that resolves the issues. She doesnt talk over you or rushes you. She is very patient. I really appreciate how she will make time for her patience, when it’s urgent , she has a great nurse named Jamika. Jamika is amazing with getting our appointments in order and shes friendly. They are a great team. My teenage daughter and I see Dr. West. We feel well taken care of. We feel safe and our concerns are always taken seriously.

Amazing Doctor and Team After seeing countless doctors over the years, I was finally referred to Dr. West, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt heard and, most importantly, safe. Every interaction, from the front desk staff to the nurse who took my vitals, her operating team, and the nurse who cared for me post-procedure, made me feel well taken care of. This level of care and safety is invaluable. Dr. West, you’ve helped me achieve a better quality of life, and for that, I am forever thankful to you and your incredible team.

She wasnt starring at the computer screen It was my 1st visit with herand she knew about me before coming into the room and was looking at us while answering our questions and did not seemed rushed

Everyone on Dr. West’s office is helpful and friendly. Dr West herself is a wonderful doctor and caring person. MemorialCare has an excellent system for saving and sharing medical records.

Dr West has been such a delight to have as my OBGYN. I switched from Cedars in LA to Long Beach Memorial and was nervous at first. Dr West played a part in ensuring my entire third pregnancy and delivery journey seamless ( as far as doctors are concerned). I felt reassured when I was nervous, well-informed, and confident despite my third coming 2 weeks earlier than anticipated. Her friendliness, professional composure, knowledge, and bedside manners are top tier! Would recommend her over and over again.
