Dr. Walker was amazing with my daughter! She had a broken arm and I was able to get a same day appt with him. She received excellent care and her arm healed perfectly! He had a great bedside manner and answered our MANY questions. He made me and my nervous 5 year old feel very comfortable. We could not be more pleased with the care Dr. Walker provided. I highly recommend him!!!

I really feel that Dr. Walker cared how miserable I was having had two surgeries to correct damage to my elbow & ligaments & having been in a splint all summer not being able to use my arm or hand for anything. He treated me with the utmost concern even personally taking me over to x-ray with him holding my arm & elbow in place so that it would not move on one occasion. Dr. Walker's staff of Rene', Jeffery & Michelle really worked to keep me in splints & dry. Wonderful team effort!
