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.

Not attentive
He did nothing to make me feel secure as a patient. Didn't look at me at all, typed and looked at the computer screen the whole time. Refused to prescribe meds that my retired primary care doctor did regularly. Referrals he gave me do not accept my insurance OR take new patients. Waste of time. I was upset the rest of the day.

Highly recommend Dr. Walker
The doctor has always taken the time and effort to meet our needs and unhesitatingly refers us to specialists when required. My wife and I have on occasion needed to obtain an appointment on the same day and he has been gracious and flexible in permitting it.

Anti Depressants
He prescribed anti depressants for my now ex wife because a therapist recommended it. She should have been sent to a psychiatrist. These drugs come with black box warnings and the family should have been advised. He also gave 6 months of refills when they should ONLY be used short term. He knows nothing of what these drugs do nor does he care. She almost killed me and now my marriage is over. Should not be prescribing drugs he knows nothing about

A horrible doctor who doesn’t take his patient health seriously. I was shocked by his answer during my latest and definitely LAST visit. His response was simply “ I can’t help you and there is nothing he could do” what a supporting answer instead of encouraging this doctor make you feel horrible and you feel like killing yourself. I don’t know how people like him still stay in this field. To him “ A patient” is just number a Stat. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor.

I really appreciate having a doctor like Dave Walker. He is thorough but not overwhelming. He always is great about listening and recommending reasonable treatment not over the top measures.
