Eileen West MD & Associates

Eileen West, MD, and Associates calls Fairfax, Virginia home and shares its foundation in the crossroads of conflict. Our practice believes the current healthcare system is at a crossroads and is failing both patients and providers alike. We have an intentionally small practice size that allows us to offer personalized primary care with greater focus on wellness and disease management, proactively. We understand that 8 minutes is simply not enough time with your doctor to address your current health let alone engage in meaningful conversation about your concerns and future goals. Dr. West is proud to offer personalized, proactive, comprehensive healthcare to her patients. Come experience the Ms.Medicine difference and let us help optimize your health to provide the vibrant life you deserve!
