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.

Truly gifted surgeon!!!
Telehealth
I basically shattered my wrist few years ago. Needless to say, it was a bad break. Dr. Walsh fit me in very quickly and a plate, 5 screws and his two gifted hands later, I am as good as new. A couple of weeks after surgery he switched me to a removable cast and after he was sure the bones had healed (about 6 weeks) I was recommended to occupational therapy. Yes, I was diligent with my therapy which took about 2 to 3 months, but it was worth it. Initially, I was told to expect to regain 50% range of motion. But that is not the case. I have FULL range and use of my wrist which is very important to me because I am an artist and a golfer. Thank you Dr. Walsh!!!

Could not see the doctor because of terrible staff that works for him. No need to leave a message because they won’t return your call.

Dr. Walsh has operated on both of my wrists. The right one — perfect! I can write, paint and draw again! It’s like having my life back. My left wrist still hurts and doesn’t move very well. I will be seeing him again to find out what is next! Personally, he is very professional and kind! Always has a bounce in his step. He is also very concerned about me! Great baby blues!!!

Very professional & prompt. Explains the options, expectations, and downsides clearly in easy to understand terms. Appears to be busy, but spends enough time to give patients time to ask questions, and understand the procedures and rehab details. The operation was very successful, painless, and I suspect he is a bit of a perfectionist. His professional manner motivates his staff so the total experience inspires confidence with patients....... I was pleased with the results and total care.
