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.

He was very kind and compassionate at time of surgery. When I woke up later that night I explained I was getting sharp pains in my vaginal area and he said it would pass. He was very comforting. But, the pain never went away 4 months later the pain had progressed so bad that I was in the emergency room after I saw a urologist , they were treating me like it was a bladder infection. I was told by both to go back to the surgeon , they said something was definelty wrong and when I went back to se Dr Walker , he examined walked out of the room and came back and said he did not know what it was, he was stumped and told me to go see a pain specialist and just walked out of the room leaving me in pain and tears. I have been in pain for over a year, Drs stated they do not want ot touch me that it was up to the surgeon. I would not recommend Dr Walker after what I have been through. My own gynecologist is in same office and when I tried to see her they said no because she will just go

I can't say enough positive things about this man! He is so kind, thoughtful, patient, compassionate, etc.... EXTREMELY rare to find a doctor, let alone a surgeon, who has the traits he does.. not to mention he is very well respected in the field. I highly recommend him to anyone looking. I have had one surgery with him and another one coming up and I know I'm in great hands!

He just performed a robotic hysterectomy for me. It was very fast, done under two hours, and only three small incisions. So far, so good!
