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.

Wonderful
Staff explained the process of what they were going to do that day and they walked us through step by step. Answered any questions we had and showed us the heart issue my son was having. Kid friendly and kind staff

Review
For a pediatric office, it did not have a very kid-friendly atmosphere. I don’t feel the staff were very engaging with my child.

Love Dr. Walkup!
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Walkup while pregnant and he continued the experience once our son was born. We could not recommend him enough.

Good Bedside Manner
Dr. Walkup and all the staff at Tri-City Pediatric Cardiology are amazing. My son has been a patient since he was born. Dr. Walkup explained everything to him (now 16 years old) in understandable terms.
