Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2017
Dr. Walker started transferred practices and I can only assume the lower ratings may have been the result of how his previous group operated because my experience with him and his staff was phenomenal. My appointments started on time, every time, which is nearly unheard of. He is incredibly personal, described everything in a way that I clearly understood and he was very generous with his time. Before and after my surgery, he had a very down to earth bedside manner.
