Dr. Francis Thornton West III, MD

Dr. West is a caring, professional & questioning physician who has his patients whole experience and health care in mind when working with patients on their care. I highly recommend him as a PCP.

Frank West is a breath of fresh air in the world of modern medicine. He reminds me of the doctors that use to make house calls when patients could not get to the office. He has been patient and understanding in the fact that I prefer to not take a lot of medication even though some of the semi annual numbers are borderline in terms of things like cholesterol. I always look forward to spending some time talking to him as he has a genuine sincerity and desire to know his patients to better serve them. His educational background is outstanding and locally based in the state of Virginia. I find him well versed on all medical issues and feel very fortunate to have him as a medical expert and friend!

Dr. West is a very caring and has excellent report with his patients. He has great follow through. He is an outstanding physician and is both my and my husbands doctor.

Dr West is a wonderful family doctor. He is understanding and listens. Prescribes where it it helpful and never pushes pharmaceuticals. It feels like you have a friend who is an MD. I wish I could say more. Love him and his staff.

I suffer from some health anxiety. Dr. West takes my concerns seriously and makes me feel comfortable talking to him. He's a great guy and phenomenal doc.

I am very pleased with Dr. West and his staff. He takes time to hear about and assess your concerns and medical issues.

Not only did the Dr not remember HE was the prescribing Dr for a MED we were discussing (and I was then taking), but his receptionist took it upon HERSELF to interject HER 'professional' opinion and prevent me from talking to the dDr via phone with a question, but she chose to share me private info with at least 2 other (and un-involved people).

If you are looking for a bright attentive young primary care doctor, Frank is the man.

I had asked for a physical and was charged for a 1st time visit. When I asked why i was charged over 200.00 they said i should have told the Dr. that i was there for a physical ( witch i did when he walked in and asked that are you here for today?) So it looks like I will be needed to find a new dr. in my town.

I was looking for a Dr. In Gloucester after leaving mine in Portsmouth. My sister goes to him so I went there. I have been very happy with him. He is a very concerned Dr. and always listens to all your concerns. I know I will receive great care from him.

He's a great family doctor, compassionate, and takes his time talking to his patients. My mom and I left his practice, only because we can't get an appointment to see him without me taking a day off, and I can't afford to take time off work, we're short staffs. But I came back, and doctor West staff is working with my schedule without me taking time off. I will bring my mom back to his practice again too. Thanks Dr. West and Staff!!

I absolutely love this practice. Everyone in the office is amazing.

This is my sisters Dr., she recommended him I needed a new Dr. and was happy I chose Dr. West.

Dr. West is a fantastic doctor. He is very attentive and thorough. I never feel like he is in a hurry when I am in his office. Dr. West is very nice and is genuinely interested in my health. If you are looking for a great family doctor look no further.

I have been taking my teenage daughter to him since he first came to Gloucester, he is a wonderful Dr. and doesn't hestiate to send you to a specialist if needed. I always recommend him to friends that are looking for a good doctor.

Dr. West is at ease and calm when talking with me, and that enables me to relax and talk with him as I would with an old friend. He always presents himself as being unhurried and gives me his undivided attention when I have an appointment. His certifications speak for themselves, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good doctor who is young and up to date, two qualities that are important to me (someone who is almost Medicare eligible!).

Wonderful caring man. The staff is very helpful and caring also.

highly. Competent, courteous, professional, both Dr. West and his staff....
