I have had a couple visits with Dr. West. He's competent and I felt I was getting good care. His front desk person, Ken, who runs the practice has typically been kind of curt but responsive. I went for my lab work in advance of my follow up scheduled a few days out to find the office vacant with no notice of relocation. I never was notified of the move. I found someone from another office suite who informed me they moved but did not know where. I called the office to get a recording with the new address. Because the office was to close soon I Ubered over and called to alert the office to my situation. Ken was not sympathetic at all. He informed me I was emailed about the move (which I was not) and that the office was closing at 4:30 (5 minutes from then). I dashed up to the new office with a couple minutes to spare. The lab tech was ready to take me in. I interacted with Ken about the situation to which he stated, "I am not going to apologize." When I commented that this was poor customer service he withdrew the lab request from the tech and told me I would have to go elsewhere. I have written to Dr. West and the DC Board. Needless to say this is not my recommended endo office in DC.

First visit satisfied. To get follow-up? Not good. Here is my experience--the issue of cancelling an appointment. Their telephone system recording is set where you cannot leave a message after office hours. that means if you need to cancel your appointment less than 24 hours,you cannot. No matter the reason, you are charged $75. No exceptions, which I found to be harsh and cruel. I then reached them at the office to apologize and gave the reason for canceling and told them I was willing to pay a portion of the fee since I did try to call to cancel. I was told no. It was made clear to me that they (billing/office manager) only care about the $$ and making sure the calendar is full of appointments.
