Dr. Walker always listens carefully and is very kind. He clearly explains all reasonable options and honors my choices about how much intervention I wish to receive. He answers all my questions and never makes me feel rushed.

I feel confidence in Dr. walker. But … The appointment seemed rushed from start (blood pressure… nurse left room for something while cuff was filling… I thought it might explode! Got poor reading) to finish. No gown for steroid shot in hip. Walker talks very fast and seemed in a hurry.
