I would give him 10 stars if I could! Dr. West and his team truly saved us in a time of dental emergency while on vacation. A wire from my niece's braces suddenly started sticking out into her cheek and causing her terrible pain, so she couldn't eat and was reduced to tears. On vacation up here, we had no idea who to call, but luckily we have great neighbors (to our vacation home) in Truckee who directed us to West Orthodontics, where there kids have clearly received great service. Despite a full practice at a busy time, they made time to fit in my niece for an appointment immediately

Usually, I don't write reviews...however, I have to say that this place do have a bad way with clients. I took my grandchild in and the lady at the front desk asked to leave the lobby area because of COVID restriction. It was snowing outside. I had to stay in a cold for 20 minutes and we took the bus to get there. She didn't ask in a polite manner. I am 80 years old and I was wearing a mask. Rude Staff. I hope the owner pays attention to that.

DR. West was ok. But I am glad my son is off braces. The staff, specially the woman at the reception (Nicole I believe)...lord. They act like they were doing us a huge favor when I was paying big bucks for the service. My daughter needs braces now and I will be happy to drive to Reno once a month for 2 years. If you don't mind serious Pitbull faces and being mistreated bring yourself here. Otherwise stay out. All good reviews here is because they give you "points" if you post it for them.

A small hop outside Truckee, but very accessible for most of North Lake Tahoe. Very friendly and hands-on staff, would highly recommend Dr. West to anyone. Came in with one of those vocational emergencies, son hadn't misplace his retainer for about +2 weeks and it no longer fitted. Dr. West to the rescue! 15 minutes later my son's retainer is fixed and ready again for use. Hail Mary! Thanks. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

While on vacation, my son had a bracket break freee and was bothering him alot. Not knowing any dentist in the area, we found Dr. West's office. They were able to see my son within about 30 minutes of me calling. It's great to know you can find an office, and they will see you ASAP. We were very both very impressed with the Dr. and his staff. Great job!!
