About Me
I’m a physician assistant in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at The James. I received my master’s degree in physician assistant studies from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science and have worked at the OSUCCC – James since 2016, where I’m involved in the repair and reconstruction of patients with many types of cancer.
At the James, we see a large number of sarcoma and orthopedic oncology patients. We perform reconstructive surgeries all over the body to help after cancer resection with various specialties, and we also work with oncologic amputees using targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR). In conjunction with our referring surgical and orthopedic oncology colleagues, we strive to give every patient the best oncologic and functional recovery possible.
I am very passionate about my career at the OSUCCC – James because I get to help “put people back together.” Working in plastic and reconstructive surgery allows me to physically help patients restore and recover what they can after tumor or mass resections. It is challenging and rewarding at the same time. While some patients may have more extensive chemotherapy or radiation treatments to go through, we are there to help them restore appearance and function when possible so that they can resume their lives.

Julie West is amazing.
Julie was excellent! She spent the time needed with me to understand my medical history, current medical concerns/symptoms and initiate development of a plan of care to further investigate and hopefully resolve my nerve Injury.
Julie is very knowledgeable and caring.
Julie West is a wonderful care provider who is very supportive in my rehabilitation journey. The appointments are thorough and encouraging and allow time for questions to be asked and answered. Very glad to travel 2 hours to and from to each appointment to meet with her.

Excellent,Excellent
Ok
Julie was very thorough and explained everything to me in detail and in a way that I could understand what was going on!
Good
I have had several appointments with Julie. Initially, she demonstrated knowledge and displayed a respectful demeanor. However, I have recently experienced substandard care. My attempts to articulate my discomfort were disregarded, and although my concerns were eventually acknowledged, there has been a notable delay in addressing my care needs.
I feel like they gave me a chance to recover from a previous surgery by another care provider under the OSU umbrella.
She was timely & efficient
Listens and very attention to attempt to address needs
Most caring provider ever
Julie listened to me and my concerns. She helped me understand the long term process after surgery and how to navigate through complications.
Julie West and Amy Moore are outstanding providers.
