Dr Earl Walker Jr is an amazing Orthopedic Surgeon. I've had a couple Achilles tendons reconstructions as well as a total knee replacement performed by Dr Walker. He's a great orthopedic surgeon, he's also kind & caring . He always listens to his patients & that's important.

First time seeing Dr. Walker and he was wonderful. He took time to answer all of my questions and in no way did I feel rushed. Would highly recommend him for foot and/or ankle problems.
