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.

Doctor Walker was a phenomenally thorough doctor that took his time to go above and beyond in helping with my medical issues. Truly a fantastic doctor!

Re: Dr. Bruce Walker; Walker Medical Wellness; 1145 E Clark Ave Suite I Santa Maria, CA 93455: As a Veteran of the United States Armed Forces, I was sent to see Dr. Bruce Walker for a "Compensation and Pension Claim" exam and evaluation by the Veterans Administration. Dr. Walker is "highly respectful and appreciative" of military Veterans and our service to our country. His "respectful; professionally conducted exam and line of questioning" was extremely thorough; so thorough that he found and identified issues that were unknown to me which resulted in my "Veterans Administration percentage rating" being increased to the "highest rating possible for my particular issue" and the (exactly one week later) receipt thereof of the increased VA compensation. - Dr. Walker is "one of the best."

Dr Walker is a great physician. I could not believe the time he took with me to explain my condition and what my labwork meant. He listens to your questions and concerns. I have left doctors offices often like it was not worth the visit. The only downside is the office staff is not to educated or experienced. I drive over 40 minutes to see Dr Walker and it is worth the trip for good health care.

Best doctor I've ever had here on the Central Coast. He doesn't just throw you on a bunch of medications, he takes the time to piece together your health history in order to make an accurate diagnosis. The environment at Rees Family Medical sucks, but Dr. Walker is brilliant, kind, and worth enduring their unprofessional ways. If you are looking for a GP, I would recommend him a thousand times over. Any of my lower star ratings of their office are not a reflection of him. Thank you, Dr. Walker!
