Patient Reviews
Nov 20, 2024
Four weeks ago I had my right hip replaced by Dr. Walter. I’ve never had such great results after any of my previous surgeries. I’m currently walking the dogs and driving with minimal pain. And I’ve had none of the complications that I’ve had in previous surgeries. Dr. Walter and his PA David Colliflower visited me both days that I was in the hospital to make sure that I was comfortable. Instead of sutures my wound was covered with a Pico Patch which insured that my wound would heal quickly and with little risk of infection. Thank you Dr. Walter for your excellence.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
