Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Walling is amazing. I started seeing her sometime in the spring of 2023, and she ended up performing surgery on me. This was my first surgery ever and I was terrified. She was so kind, patient and compassionate and explained all the details of my condition and what needed to happen. She squeezed me into her scheduled so I could be seen weekly after for follow ups (my preference). I ended up having to see a specialist in Portland because my condition became more complicated than expected. After two surgeries, I can say that the care and compassion displayed by Dr Walling and the team at Bend Surgery Center is truly unmatched! Very grateful!!!

Dr. Erin Walling is the most communicative doctor I have had. She returns texts promptly and is willing to listen to even the tiniest of your fears. She doesn't make excuses, she fines solutions.

I can't imagine a better surgeon than Dr. Walling. She is so competent and compassionate. She follows through and is always available to answer any questions. I am so confident in my care after my breast cancer. You will be so glad to have chosen her as your surgeon. Amazing!

Dr. Walling is a compassionate and talented surgeon. I saw her after being diagnosed with breast cancer at 38. She was patient, informative, and available. She sought out fast appointments for me with a plastic surgeon, and was always available to discuss questions and options. Cannot recommend enough.

There aren’t enough stars in the world to give DR Walling the rating she deserves. Not only is she incredibly competent and immensely well-trained, she is the most humble and down-to-earth physician I have ever met. After my breast cancer diagnosis at age 34, Dr WAlling was one of the first people i saw. She immediately put me at ease when a whirlwind of appointments had me scared out of my wits. She manages to be compassionate and yet still “tells it like it is” without sugar coating. This is a difficult but very needed balance in a good physician. I so appreciated her mannerisms, realness, and her of course, her skill. She did an amazing job at my port placement despite some complications and did an even better job on my double mastectomy. Our little town is incredibly lucky to have Dr Walling. If you are a cancer patient of seeing general surgery- she is your gal

I cannot recommend Dr. Walling highly enough. I liked her immediately upon being referred to her for an incisional hernia that an ultra sound had discovered. She was able to see me in less than one week and she could not have been more pleasant or professional. She explained my options and we agreed that the large abdominal wall hernia would best be repaired by surgery. She was able to do the surgery 2 weeks from that first appointment. She took excellent care of me and she is simply the best!

Dr. Walling was not only very professional in treating me for breast cancer, but she was kind and caring throughout the entire process. She explained all possible options for treatment and totally considered my concerns. I would give her 10 stars if I could! BMC is very fortunate to have her on staff.

Dr. Walling was both personable and professional. Dr. Walling took the time to explain my options. I really appreciated that she took the time to look at my chart and know what we were going to talk about before meeting with me and my family. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a doctor that wants to understand your concerns. Thankful!
