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.

Excellent as always. I’ve seen Dr Walton for several years and have always received very professional service with great outcome. He treats me for ear, nose , throat, sinus, and hearing and I am pleased in every aspect of his treatments.

LENTS Dr B. Walton
Dr Walton is great. Always a pleasure seeing him. Very polite, down to earth, professional & 1 of the nicest people I’ve met in a long time. I feel like he’s very good at his profession & he’s a terrific ENT. He recently performed a procedure on me & I have nothing but good things to see about his “performance” if you will. I will continue to see Dr Walton as my ENT specialist & I would surely recommend him to my family, friends & co-workers.

Great doctor
Dr Walton is very personable and upbeat. Dr. Walton wasted no time in getting my problems diagnosed and explained throughly as well as taken care of. I knew it was my allergies and he even told me about a website he checks every morning and post the allergy info to his social media page so his patients can be aware of the pollens in the air.I highly recommend Dr. Walton to anyone that has allergies, ear, nose and throat problems. I also love it that he now comes to Denham Springs. So much easier not to have to fight the city traffic.Thank you L.E.N.T.S for opening this new office!

Great care
I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Walton IV and I was very impressed with the care I received. Although my appointment was late on a Friday afternoon, I didn’t feel rushed at all. He was patient, kind, and took the time to address what has been an ongoing issue and concern. The office staff was extremely friendly and professional as well.

Front office staff are so very kind and helpful. Nurse Emily and Dr. Walton are caring professionals you always hope for when you have a Dr. visit, especially for a patient who has had decades of Dr. visits. Look no further if you need a good Dr. with his specializations.
