He was great. Explained the procedure. Didn’t know he had started the procedure after numbing more shoulder. Was willing to do the exam and procedure the same time since I had to drive so far. He went as far as making a recording and showing me what he pulled out of my shoulder. Would recommend him to others.
Kind, direct easy to talk to
Professional, good communication, would recommend
Very helpful
Dr. Walker spends the time to answer questions and explain what he’s looking at, looking for, and what he thinks. I would recommend him.
He was a considerate Doctor who listened to what I had to say and was easy to talk to and understand. He explained exactly what and how he was going to treat my shoulder. I was not looking forward to getting an injection in my shoulder because of previous bad experiences I had with injections. But I had very little pain when he administered the injection. I will definitely see him again.
He is Kind and explained procedure well! Very well satisfied and I would recommend him to others.
Dr. Walker was very attentive to my questions and concerns, kind, and thorough! Definitely recommend!
Very professional and explained exactly what he was doing so I could understand!!
Dr Walker and his assistant did a good job informing me about the procedure. Made me feel relaxed and at ease.
