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.

A Surgeon You Can Trust
Dr Walsh is an excellent practitioner. He is on top of all the latest technologies and procedures. He replaced my shoulder six yrs ago and I’m doing great! He has also greatly reduced the pain in my knee with an injection.

A consultation visit that included a review of X-rays and a detailed explanation of suggested options available depending on what scenarios are chosen. I was very impressed with his professionalism. He was explicit and reassuring.

Excellent Doctor and Practice
Great experience with Dr. Walsh and the office. It started with me overhearing a conversation he was having with his staff while I waited and I was impressed with how he was speaking with them and the respect he showed. When he spoke with me I never felt rushed and he was actively listening and asked questions to get details about the issue. After he provided a diagnosis he offered detailed explanations about expectations and options going forward. I left feeling good about what will happen and that if I have follow-up questions I can call and get those answered. Would definitely recommend him and this practice to others.
