Dr. Walker saved my daughters life in 1985 @ Galveston UTMB! During his residency I’ve always thought about him over the yrs, my daughter is now 40! She was 2 when she was so sick!! We lived in Longview was was sent to UTMB and I was 9 months pregnant with my son, he was very concerned about my health to and made sure I was taken care of, ended up having baby while daughter was hospitalized. Thank you Dr Walker
