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.

A doctor that will listen to you
I sought medical attention from Dr. Walker this summer due to some health issues I was experiencing. She provided empathetic care, listened attentively, and collaborated with me to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Dr. Walker offered me various options, provided her expert medical opinion, and allowed me to make an informed decision. I recently underwent surgery with her and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate healthcare provider.

I wish she had told me more details of what was done, what I should expect, and how to care for the wound from the procedure at home.

Dr. Walker shows that she truly cares about helping women in all she does; how she listens fully and waits for you to finish, asks follow-up questions, explains the options available, then asks for my thoughts and how I would like to proceed. Her demeanor radiates calm and care. I always feel like she hears my concerns and helps me understand my options fully.

Do NOT see this provider.
I had a horrific experience during my first pregnancy and subsequent loss in 2023. I'll spend the time telling my story at another time, but DO NOT see this provider if you're seeking competent, compassionate care. When I talk of my experiences with other professionals and providers, they are all horrified that someone so cruel is allowed to practice medicine.

She did not listen nor give importance to my past medical history. The procedure was much more painful than necessary. She was rude, dismissive and told me if I returned for the procedure that she would have her PA handle it. I will not return nor recommend her to anyone.

My wife was diagnosed with Uterus Didelphis in January of 2015 by a professor of perinatalogy at Syracuse University in New York. Dr Walker expressed to my wife and I that she knew if my wife's condition. She had no clue and because we challenged her knowledge her bed side manner went to crap and was demeaning in her attitude towards my wife and i. My wife was in serious pain and she acted like it wasn't important.
