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 cardiologist and a very pleasant man.
8-4-24. I have seen Dr, Walker twice, once for a stress test 4 years ago, and this week when hospitalized for a possible heart issue. Dr. Waker is an extremely pleasant doctor to work with and he really cares about the well being of his patients. He listens to your concerns and ideas and is very patient with everyone who may be fearful or anxious about tests. He explains conclusions and recommends actions if needed. I hold Dr. Walker in very high regard and can recommend him to anyone with possible or confirmed cardiac issues to received his excellent care and expertise.Donna Ball 8-4-2024

One time
He replaced my former doctor several years ago and only got to see him once so it's hard to rate the person.

Nice Guy. Straight Shooter. Not Preachy.
Dr Walker gives clear explanations and solicits questions. This is very, very important to me. I am a senior who is unusually active and I am also a spouse/father/uncle/grandfather upon whom others depend. I never feel at sea with Dr Walker. It's always clear what shape I am in, so I can plan my life with confidence.

On time, listened to my questions and explained in my language. I felt like a patient instead of a number.
