Dr. Raymond Walls, MD

I’ve had flat feet for years with conservative treatment not helping, and Dr Walls performed reconstructive surgery on both feet, which has drastically improved my quality of life. I was dealing with lots of pain before and I was able to get the proper treatment. Dr Walls is very knowledgeable and helpful, and I would recommend him

Dr. Walls has cured my ankle pain. I had a total ankle replacement done last year and am doing great. Mary and Laina in his office are amazing. I still cannot believe how little pain I had after the surgery. I have already recommended Dr Walls to my friend who needs to get his ankle replaced as well.

Surgery to fix my broken ankle went smoothly. I have no pain and am back jogging slowly. My physical therapist said it is the best looking scar she has ever seen!!

Just as everyone else has said, Dr Walls listens carefully and went through all my X-rays and MRI's so I could understand everything. I never felt rushed despite having a list of questions with me.

Raymond Walls was soft spoken and appeared kind when my husband and I met with him. His assistant Elena however was nervous and rude and acted strange. She wouldn’t look us in the eye and seemed shifty and untrustworthy. He gave me wrong diagnosis and as a natural corollary, the wrong treatment plan. Would not recommend.

Dr Walls replaced my ankle 6 months ago and I could not be happier. I have just travelled from New York to California to spend Christmas with my kids. It’s the first time in years I walked through the airport instead of needing a wheelchair! He is just an amazing surgeon and has a reputation for performing complex surgeries. Several surgeons said they could only fuse my ankle but Dr Walls was confident I would be better with a total ankle replacement. He has changed my life!!

I have had several surgeries with Dr. Walls after a severe falling injury. When I began seeing him I couldn’t walk at all. We did fusions and revisions and finally the full replacement. Dr. Walls is compassionate, explains everything and makes me feel valid as a person and a patient. His bedside manner is second to none and the whole staff in the office, including Elaina is patient and kind. Traveled from Boston and Connecticut for care here!

Dr. Walls treated me for damaged ankle cartilage called an OCL. I'm a professional dancer and I thought my career was over until I met Dr. Walls. Other surgeons told me I would have to retire. However Dr. Walls performed arthroscopic surgery where combined cartilage graft with my own stem cells. This was 2 years ago and I am back performing painfree. I am so grateful and highly recommend him. Simply the best!!

Great surgeon who was able to get back to some sense of normalcy after I broke my leg and suffered from compartment syndrome. The compartment syndrome caused my ankle and foot to become practically useless. But Dr. Walls performed two surgeries that had amazing outcomes and helped me get back to walking and driving.

I have been suffering for the last 3 years from a large cavity in my ankle, (hole in the bone). After 3 surgeries and a host of treatment and therapies there was no relief in site. After researching a host of hospitals and well known surgeons in the orthopedic field, I begun to research the NYU model of excellence for orthopedic surgeries. Thereafter, I begun to study Dr Walls, and what inspired me first was his confidence and the large number of successful “total ankle replacement”, he had performed. I scheduled an appointment with him and, explained my difficulties and the constant pain; not to mention the my lack of quality of life. He assured me that he will do his very best to provide a successful surgery and improve my quality of life. Fast forward to the surgery, it was performed and took around 4 plus hours. I must say, the service at NYU Langone was honestly above and beyond. But, Dr Walls role was INSTRUMENTAL. 2 months later and I am healing fine. Thanks to God!!

I was recommended to dr.walls by my primary sport orthopedic.the first impression I had was positive. I was a elite competitive runner. last December I was diagnosed with ’avascular necrosis of my left talus bone’ very rare disease at first dr walls recommended doing a total talus replacement I was excited but at the end of the consultation dr walls just wrote a script for the ‘ ideo brace’ and live the rest of my life with it.2 weeks later I sent him a message and beg him to do the surgery,later that day he replied and said his office was going to get back to me on the date of MRI and surgery. It’s August and still waiting for he’s office to get back to me..luckily I found the best surgeon who did my surgery now I am walking on my own….my take from dr walls is that he was not confident to do my surgery..but yet I would have more respect for him if he would of take a time to call and tell me he couldn’t or was not confident..very shady dr.

Dr. Walls performed a complete ankle replacement on me in January 2023. He is kind informative, and confident. He takes his time with you and has a great beside manner. 8 months post surgery and I’m pain free. If your searching for an all around great surgeon he’s the one.Dennis O

I had been suffering from a torn Achilles tendon and Haglunds deformity for 9 months making it practically impossible to take a single step. Thru sheer luck I found Dr Raymond Walls, NYU foot and ankle surgeon. From our first meeting I was confident he was the surgeon for me. It is now four and a half months after my very complex surgery and I am doing great. Dr. Walls skill as a surgeon is unsurpassed. In addition, he is warm, kind and caring, and this attitude transcends down to his entire staff. Phenomenal dedicated doctor.

On May 10th I fell and broke my ankle in two places. I immediately called Dr Walls and although they were completely without appts he said come in. I was immediately transferred to Langone Orthopedic hospital cleared for surgery the next day. Dr Walls sat with me and my family a few minutes prior to me being wheeled into surgery. What a compassionate man to arrest my fears. Surgery was a success, no pain and my recovery has gone on schedule. He was recommended to me by a friend who had surgery in January and I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Walls to anyone in need of surgery. Wonderful office in Staten Island with caring staff

Met for a consultation in his Staten Island office in December 2022, had surgery in January 2023, great experience from start to finish. Dr Walls is not only knowledgeable in his field, he goes the extra mile to listen and explain every detail of my surgery, and I’m not talking about medical terms, it was in plain and understandable English. His staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful, from Mary in Staten Island to Laina in his Essex St office and everyone else in between. Also like to commend all the people at the NYU Langone hospital on 17th Street where my surgery was done, better than a 5 star hotel treatment. “Great Job Everyone”… Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

This surgery is tough. Pain and loss of mobility. But every step along the way I felt supported in my recovery and am now returning to a more active lifestyle. Great doctor with great results.

After two failed surgeries a a very reputable orthopedic hospital in NY, Dr. Walls was recommended by a friend who had just had achilles surgery at NYU with Dr. Walls. My ankle and foot were swollen and painful. Dr. Walls did an MRI, saw the problem (ruptured achilles) and repaired. He was pleasant to deal with and efficient. I am no longer in pain and walking unaided!

You will not find a bigger fan of Dr. Ray Walls than me. A former professional dancer, I had been suffering from chronic ankle pain due to overuse, multiple sprains, torn ligaments, and an OCD lesion for 6 years. After a misdiagnosis and a failed surgery by two other doctors, I was beginning to think my life as a dancer or even an active person was over. Enter Dr. Walls. He correctly diagnosed the problems, went above and beyond to exhaust all methods of fixing them, and spent more time explaining these methods in a way I could understand than any other physician I've seen. From the initial consult to today's final visit, I have never felt more heard or understood by a doctor. His background in dance himself allows him to truly empathize with dancers and his understanding of the demands of the profession made me feel confident that he would do everything in his power to fix my ankle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me my life back.

Dr Walls is my second doctor that addressed my foot/ankle crushing injury. he was a God send, that I wish I had first seen. my first doctor recommended amputation after two unsuccessful fusion surgeries. Dr Walls coached, informed and encouraged me to trust his expertise for saving my foot. His knowledge, great and friendly bed side manner gave me the strength to succeed in my treatment. Dr Walls, and his team, gave me hope that I could walk again on my own TWO feet. It has been six months since his incredible work that I can begin looking forward to a better life. Thank you, to you and your team for your concern and care.

I have been dealing with ankle issues since an accident 22 years ago. I had an ankle replacement with another doctor and was in extreme pain afterward. That doctor kept telling me there was nothing wrong. I went to see Dr. Walls and he found the cause of my pain and fixed it! He did my surgery about 3 months ago and feel good for the first time in years. I couldn’t be more grateful to this man.
