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.”

"I saw Allison West for the first time, and I loved her. Very kind!"
I saw Allison West for the first time, and I loved her. Very kind! Did not make me feel rushed or like I was just a number. Explained some things to me in reference to my family history. Made follow up appointments for me. She did not just dismiss me. I felt comfortable and left confident about her treatment plan with me.
