I was amazed to find a doctor who actually took the time to talk to you. I didnt feel rushed at all even though she was running behind. I wish all doctors were like Dr. Walker!

Dr. Walker had prepared for my case well in advance of my first appointment, listened well, she answered all my questions, spent time with me to collaborate on how to proceed on my surgical plan, and reached out to other doctors input due to the rarity of my diagnosis. I was pleasantly surprised by how much Dr. Walker impressed me…and I rarely say that. I highly recommend Dr. Walker for your care. 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Emma Walker has been my doctor for almost two years now and I can truly say after having had several surgeries throughout my life in different areas of my body, she has the best bedside manners of any doctor I have come in contact with. She is so very professional, friendly and empathetic. I am glad she was referred to me and I am alive because God allowed his chosen one to be placed in my path.
Dr. Walker thank you and I will be indebted to you for the rest of my life. Thank you ❤️.

I feel very confident that I am receiving the very best care by Dr. Walker. I highly recommend her as a physician.
With a keen interest in both science and helping others, Savannah native, Dr. Emma S. Walker, D.O., knew becoming a physician was the perfect job for her. On her journey to achieve this goal, Dr. Walker received her Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Pre-medical at Auburn University and then went on to the Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia to get her Graduate Level Certificate in Medical Science. Following this, she attended the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in Stratford, New Jersey for a Masters of Biomedical Science degree. Dr. Walker received her medical degree at the same school’s Osteopathic Medical School and fulfilled her General Surgery residency at Inspira Health Network at the Inspira Medical Center Vineland in Vineland, New Jersey.
After finishing up her education and obtaining the experience needed to start her career, it was time for Dr. Walker to select a medical specialty. Her “lightbulb moment”came after working in the emergency room and witnessing first-hand the emotional and physical stress patients face when going through health emergencies. From this experience, Dr. Walker knew she wanted to pursue a field of medicine that entailed all aspects of working up the diagnosis, performing the surgical procedure to remove the disease, and helping her patients feel better. General Surgery proved to be the ideal specialty for her to pursue.
“General Surgery allows me to work with a wide variety of patients, from all walks and stages of life. I’m given the opportunity to use a wide variety of knowledge and technical skills every day I come into work. This can be challenging, but also super rewarding.”
In particular during her residency training, Dr. Walker remembers vividly when her diverse medical training allowed her to help a critically injured gunshot victim who came into the trauma center. She took the 30-year-old back to the operating room and assisted in repairing his multiple wounds.
“I was with him during the entire process. I helped perform the surgery when he first came in, was tasked with discussing his injuries with his family, watched him fight to heal from the procedure, eventually have his breathing tube taken out, and finally be able to make it out of the trauma ICU,” said Dr. Walker. “After almost witnessing his death countless times, the feeling of helping him make it to the other side of the healing process was indescribable.”
To this day, Dr. Walker treasures the opportunity to help a wide variety of patients with a diverse array of health issues. For her, taking the time to help the patient understand their disease process or illness, how surgery can treat the problem, and what to expect after surgery is a critical part of her job.
“The most important thing for me is to put my patient first," Dr. Walker explained. "I love to sit down with the patient and walk them through everything about the surgery they're to receive, so they’re entirely informed. If I need to draw anything out or explain everything multiple times, I will gladly do it. When a patient leaves my office at ease and with an understanding of both the problem and the procedure recommended, it hits home for me."
Outside of the office, Dr. Walker loves spending time with her husband, their dog, and cat. She also enjoys reading, painting, and sewing.
