Dr Walker is very thorough, and not rushed. Addressed any concerns with great explanation

Review for Dr. Walker

I had a bike wreck and ruptured an extensor tendon in my left hand. Called, they got me in the next day and decided I needed surgery. Booked the surgery during the visit for less than a week later. The surgery process went well and Dr. Stewart did a great job. He and the team explained everything...

He asked questions about my symptoms and listened to my answers. He explained why he wanted to do a procedure. He explained what he looked for in my past tests. At the end of the visit , with my permission, prayed for my health and my care.
