James West, M.D.

My practice philosophy is patient-centered care. It is important to get to know patients, their backgrounds and experiences in order to provide the best care possible.

I grew up on a farm in Hettinger, North Dakota. In my free time I enjoy traveling, golfing and playing board games with my family. I have a son and three cats.
