Dr. West is a specialist in managing fibroids, the most common tumor found in women and is the most common indication for a hysterectomy in the United States. Dr. West states that there is no such thing as an impossible myomectomy (removal of the fibroids only). Depending on the experience of the doctor, a myomectomy can always be done regardless of the size, number or location of the fibroids.

Dr. West believes that a "well informed" woman, who has an understanding of her body, is at an enourmous advantage in the management of her reproductive system.
