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.

Gave me my life back
Dr. Walker performed an L4-L5 microdiscectomy on me two weeks ago for a disc herniation I've been suffering with for 10 years. Since that surgery, I have been almost totally pain free even though I'm still in the early stages of recovery. Dr. Walker has spent time with me personally both before and after the surgery, answering all of my questions and concerns and reassuring me that I can contact him if any complications arise. Thanks to him I feel like I finally have my life back.

Dr. Walker recently performed my successful L4/5 spinal fusion (PLIF). He and his team were exceptional in all aspects—professional, competent, and compassionate. I am an active person who hikes, bikes & works in my garden who is on the road to recovery. Thank you, Dr. Walker, for giving me my life back!

Dr. Walker and his staff have been caring, attentive, and helpful. The office is run very well with the patient as the number one priority. Dr. Walker answered all of my questions during both of my office visits and the day of surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Walker.

Operated on me after many years of suffering & walking on Canadian crutches for six of those years.He performed excellently. I highly recommend him. After third day I left the hospital after the very complex surgery and haven't used any crutches for four to five years now.

If I had known that Dr. Walker was surgeon and could Not help my father, due to the fact he can not be put on a vent, I would not of wasted any more of his time or mine. He did explain, briefly, the two types of surgery he could do, IF dad could be put on the vent during surgery. Since that is not an option, he really didn't have time for us after that. I asked if he could call in a medication, the PA, Heather, said she would. When I went to the pharmacy the next day, IT HADN'T BEEN CALLEDIN
