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.

I see Dr. Walsh in the Joliet office. He is positively the best doctor I have ever been to. He is knowledgeable, timely and explains everything in terms I can understand. I hope he never retires!! Mary is very friendly and helpful.

Dr Walsh is the type of Dr I wish all were. Not only is he a kind and compassionate, he actually listens to his patients. Once diagnosed he then explains issues and treatments in layman's terms and answers all questions and concerns you may have.

I have been a patient of Dr Walsh for 25-30 years, He is the best. Extremely intelligent and explains in terms that are easily understandable. He has treated me numerous times too keep me out of the hospital. I don't know what I would do if he left his practice. His staff is amazing too. His nurse Joelle (sorry if I misspelled) is very efficient and kind.

Found CA during Covid nightmare. Called me directly (he was busy being a critical care specialist.) Dr. Walsh set me up for surgery with an amazing, caring group.. When seen in his office originally Dr. Walsh was relaxed and totally open to my questions. He is Superman. Thanks forever Dr. Walsh. Kathleen

Dr. Walsh is fantastic. He spends time with his patients and ensures that questions and concerns are discussed. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is very patient, soft spoken and supportive. His staff is nice and courteous, and ease of appointments is great; most of the time, I wait about 15 minutes or so.
