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. Walker gives a thorough exam. She considers you as a whole person, not jus a body part. She specializes in patients with high risk for breast cancer.

Excellent Doctor
I have been a patient of Dr Walker for about 2-3 years now when she was highly recommended to me by a nurse friend and I’m so glad I was referred to her. She is a wonderful, caring and knowledgeable doctor who I am comfortable to put my trust in. She explains everything and offers her advice or recommendations but yet respect’s you decision. I’m just disappointed that she is no longer doing surgery because she is so excellent but understand her wanting time to enjoy her grandchildren. But she put me in good hands with recommending another excellent surgeon for me that she has known and worked with for years so that I feel like I’m in good hands. I feel she truly cares about her patients!

Dr Walker has been by surgeon since 2014. Her follow up care is amazing. She is proactive, monitoring my health annually to catch any irregularities before they become issues.

Dr. Walker is a fantastic breast surgeon. Dr. Walker reviews your test results and questionnaire, then she listens to your concerns and questions. She then addresses them. After leaving her office I felt relieved and confident about our discussion.

Dr. Walker is amazing! I was referred to her by my naturopathic doctor to look at my ultrasound results. She was so kind and patient. I like to do things more naturally and she was completely respectful of that when most doctors try to bully me into doing things their way. She really took the time to answer my questions and ease my mind that all was normal.

Dr. Walker is excellent. She really cares about your progress and care. She did my double masectomy and when I had drainage issues, she went out of her way to meet me at her office for extra drainage. She listens to you and has a positive attitude. I would highly recomment Dr. Walker.

I am so grateful to have Dr Walker and I find her to be exceptional. I have been under her care since 2016 when she performed a lumpectomy and removed a tumor from my breast. Dr Walker and her office staff are very professional and also kind and concerned.

I am rating 5 stars because I love Dr Walker. She is serious, to the point yet she is kind and caring at the same time. She was extremely thorough and at the end did a summary of my visit and made sure I understood everything. A definite recommendation!!

She saved my life! Medically competent. Direct but compassionate communicator. Listens with true interest and answers all questions thoroughly. Takes all the time you need to be comfortable with information and emotions! Truly interested in you; you are not just another puppy in the puppy mill. Staff is competent; her assistant, Michaella, is the best!

Dr. Walker is extremely well educated and experienced in her field. I am very fortunate to have found her, as she was able to identify my cancer, which was not evident in my biopsies. As far as I am concerned, she saved me from a very uncertain future. She is kind, caring, compassionate and personable. She takes time to speak with you in person and on the phone, so that you understand what is happening, during a most difficult time. On a side note, her office has a lovely environment.
