Dr Walker always takes the extra time to discuss and understand the whole picture of patient health and how it relates to his treatment plan. I appreciate Dr Walker and his staff.
A genuinely friendly physician with a positive attitude.
Very friendly and educational experience. He also went over my history and knowing that I've had past experiences with surgeries and made me feel very comfortable in the knowledge that I may be getting a surgery done by a very professional doctor the customer service, the treatment there is above and beyond all expectations and weigh better than any of my local care facilities.
Was very upfront and listened to my daughter
Dr. Walker is very thorough and is very knowledgeable in pain management. I appreciate how receptive he is in addressing my concerns.
Very professional, went over everything with me and answered all questions.
Super nice and very patient and kind
Not sure if u got other remarks as they disappeared. I really like Dr Walker whi is easy to communicate with and listened so well to little tweaks to make my cortisone shot pain shot pain free. All are good there but I was so used to Dr Misnik who was such a good listener too. I also talked to Dr Walker about seeing yr back drs there for more recent c rays as I have arthritis and some stenosis and wish I could perhaps imply so I coukd get knee surgery and wallk if anything can even be done. I do avoid surgeries if possible.
I had an excellent experience with my orthopedic specialist, who aspirated my ganglion cyst. He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the procedure clearly, which made me feel confident and comfortable. The entire experience was highly professional, and the procedure itself was surprisingly quick and pain-free. I truly appreciated the level of care and attention I received throughout the visit. I would absolutely see Dr Walker again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopedic care.
Outstanding physician. Dr. Walker is both knowledgeable and caring. Took time to explain procedure (knee injections) and offered me help for an ankle problem that has plagued me all my life. What a relief. Highest possible recommendation.
