Dr. David Walker, MD

Last Friday night I came with my son to the ER at The Hackensack hospital, Dr Walker was there , my son came with a symptoms of diarrhea and stomach ache. We spent three hours in the ER before Dr. Walker came to see us then they try to draw blood five times decadent find a vein. By the end they draw blood and diarrhea simple and had to send it to the lab to get the results my son was so frustrating that he asked me to go home I told Dr. Walker that my son doesn’t feel comfortable to stay here when the results gonna be ready please call me and we’ll see what we doing. Dr. Walker told me that he for leaving the ER he’s not gonna send the bloodwork to the lab to get the results this is insane but he is a doctor in ER department I would recommend Hackensack hospital to get rid of him because he’s not a doctor for ER patients. By the end he did not send the bloodwork and the diarrhea sample to the lab. Please do not come to the ER at Hackensack Hospital if he is on call

We took our 4 years old son to the Hackensack emergency for the second time in two days. That's how we met with Dr. Walker. First emergency visit our son was diagnosed with Asthma without any prior symptoms, the next day he had difficulty breathing again so we took him to the pediatric emergency this time. We never believed he had asthma. We told Dr. Walker medication is not helping him and his breathing doesn't get better with albuterol. We also told Dr. David M Walker, my son seems like he is trying to get something out of his throat. He ignored everything we said and even called in an intern to show how an asthma patient breathes. He told us to keep using the medication and send us home. Two days later we ended up in the emergency again, they intubated my son and transferred us to ICU. I almost lost my son in that emergency room. Turns out my son aspirated a peanut and he had a surgery and he is fine now.
