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.

Very skilled
Dr Walker is a great Dentist who is kind, extremely skilled at his craft, of root canals and caring. He made sure I was comfortable thoughout the procedure. I didn't even feel the novocain injections. Dr Walker even had his staff even reach out to me the next day, to make sure I was okay.

Great Experience
My recent root canal went perfectly. NO pain during or after the procedure. Dr. Walker and his staff are professional, courteous, friendly and caring. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone needing a root canal. My only small suggestion would be to change the type of music played in the waiting area. It didn't offend my religious beliefs, just my sense of propriety. Otherwise excellent experiece. You're the best.

Bad experience
I had a bad experience with Dr. Walker. Had a root canal done there, and in the process of him placing a matrix band on the root canal tooth to put a temporary filling on it I heard the loudest sounding pop I’d ever heard inside my mouth. I jerked my head and wondered if he’d broken the tooth, of course I couldn’t say anything with that contraption in my mouth. After the procedure was finished, he stated the procedure went very well and I could get the crown from my regular dentist put on tomorrow if I wanted. Due to busy spring break scheduling, my dentist wasn’t able to get me in for the crown procedure until 37 days later. Upon returning home from Dr. Walker I suffered from an excruciating sharp stabbing pain in the vicinity of the root canal tooth anytime I got even the tiniest morsel of food on that side of my mouth. Well, it turned out that he’d broken the tooth next to the root canal tooth, and the broken remnant fell out 47 days after the procedure.

I waited almost 2 hours for the dentist to see me. I wasn't told why there was a delay, and I wasn't offered the opportunity to reschedule or to come back later in the day. The office staff never spoke to me during the entire wait time. A patient should not have to wait that long without an explanation. Very unprofessional. I left without treatment and went to an endodontist in Kansas City. (who was less expensive)
