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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Walker Gallego?
Ruined my life.
Dr Walker performed surgery on me 3 times from a time span between November- March. I had a radial head fracture and I was at this time 30 years old. It has left me with permanent pain, my arm is unable to straighten out fully and I have nerve damage through my fingers. He ultimately left the town that he did my surgery soon after my last surgery. After my last surgery I had NO movement in my fingers and couldn’t even hold a pen. I couldn’t make my brain get my fingers to move. I had to go through months of OT, and still till this day have outrageous pain and a crooked arm at 34 years old. I am an active mother of 2 boys and can still run, ride my bike (not near as far as I could before, due 2 pain when arm is jarred), no longer can bare wt on my arm and unable to do yoga. I felt like I should have been heard for what I had to go through and continue to go through. You would think that a dr for prof athletes would be able to heal a heathy, fit 30 year old female
