Mission & Approach
“Oncology nursing has always been a passion of mine and has been the focus of my professional career. Once I obtained my Doctor of Nursing of Practice (DNP), I was fortunate to begin working alongside Dr. Weinberg as a Nurse Practitioner. Having the opportunity to specialize in breast surgical oncology has been beyond rewarding. I have been able to combine my prior oncology experience with my training as a nurse practitioner to manage benign and malignant breast disease. I especially have an interest in long-term breast cancer survivorship and high-risk breast cancer surveillance. I recognize the burden of cancer does not stop with the last treatment and the trepidation felt as a high-risk patient can be overwhelming. Therefore, I am dedicated to providing individualized care to empower, educate, and manage the breast health needs of my patients.”

"Allison West, listened to all my concerns"
“Everyone from front desk to clinical was friendly and helpful. Allison West, DNP listened to all my concerns and we came up with a plan we were both comfortable with. Everyone made a stressful situation easier. Allison even offered genetic testing, which no other provider has offered me in the past. Thank you for being proactive!”
