Great doc

Glad that Dr. Stephen took the time to chat with me before and after the surgery. The fact that he spent the time to discuss topics that were not directly related to the surgery made for a very comforting patient / doctor relationship. At no time did I feel that he was "under the gun" to be somewhere else - that I was the most important person / issue during our discussion.

wonderful

Good morning, I would like to thank all of the staff at Downeast orthopedics, especially Dr. Walsh and Misty and Amanda, they are an incredible team Amanda for taking my daughters calls from the hospital, Misty for seeing me initially and getting things started, dr.

Today was my 1st visit with Dr. Walsh; he was awesome! Gave me multiple options to aid my issue, explained everything about the procedure. Very easy to talk with, felt like I had known him for years. took a while to get in, now I see why he is so popular.

Outstanding surgeon! Dr. Walsh takes time to get to know his patients. He explains everything in layman’s term and provides available options. He replaced my left knee five years ago and my right knee 9 weeks ago. He truly cares about his patients, thus, acts accordingly.

DR. WALSH IS WONDERFUL! Best doctor ever!

Great experience in office before surgery

Outstanding appointment. Huge relief after speaking with Dr. Walsh. Actually looking forward to surgery.

Always attentive and thorough...Best Dr ever!...

Dr. Walsh was worth the wait to get to see. Extremely caring, personable and professional. A great listener. Finally had the knee surgery done, too, and I’m breaking records for recovery. He really cares about getting you up and going again...

He's the best! I felt totally secure and confident that he would help me get the best possible outcome for my knee replacement surgery. I needed it for a long tome and he was patient with me until I said I was ready. It was a great success!

Takes time to explain everything and answers all your questions. Felt like he would take whatever time was needed and then some. Good explanations allowed development of a joint long range plan. Doctors reputation is very strong and well deserved.

Very much worth waiting to get in

Wonderful doctor. He pays close attention to prep and all details of the surgery and rehab. I'm having a quick recovery with no sign of infection. Very personable man as well.

I have been impressed with Dr. Walsh since I first met him 2 years ago. He and his PA never make me feel rushed, listen to me, and answer my questions with language I can understand and a smile on their faces.

My husband has a lot of emotional problems. Dr. Walsh did a good job handling him. He needs to find a way to calm him down. I realize this takes time. And doctors don't always have all the time they need with a patient.

Very professional & thorough

Professional considerate provider. Takes time to answer questions and provide explanations.

He is an absolutely fantastic orthopedic surgeon and willing to follow you. He let’s you decide when it’s necessary for surgery. He listens and offers his best opinions. We need more like him!
