“Dentistry is a complex, stimulating profession that challenges me daily to be better, both professionally and personally. I am constantly excited to improve my patients’ quality of life and create beautiful smiles, and it is incredibly rewarding to see someone admire their new smile and show confidence in themselves because of it.”
– Dr. West

Outside the Office
Originally from Tampa, Dr. West now lives in Sarasota with his beautiful wife of 35 years, Michelle. They have two wonderful and gifted daughters, Savannah and Alexandra, both of whom constantly amaze Dr. West and Michelle with their endeavors and accomplishments. They love spending family time together around Sarasota, exploring new restaurants and community activities.
Dr. West’s father was a very successful fighter pilot and commercial airline pilot, so he was bitten by the travel bug early. The entire family still loves to travel, especially for snow skiing in the winter. They also love their college sports teams: go Gators, USF Bulls, and UCF Knights!
