I love Dr Rife! He is carrying, kind, funny, and very thoughtful. My Achilles Tendon surgery was an easy experience because I was told exactly what to expect every step of the way. The staff at West Foot and Ankle Center are wonderfully helpful and always smiling. They cheered me on through the whole process. I just can't say enough about this office!

I came here with an injury that I I did at work. They treated me with respect and helped me along the way to deal with my Workmens Comp. Dr. Brian Shikenloth is a class act, he spent time with me explaining my injury and never once did I feel like a number. I would highly recommend this place to anybody that has a foot problems or ankle problem even the girl that did my x-rays every time I came in was very personable and treated me very well. Add a very scary time in my life they made it much easier for me to handle.
