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.

Ok for routine issues, avoid for serious
I was a patient for years and never had an issue. I also never had a serious health issue. However, my wife who was also a patient had serious health issues and I feel like they were completely ignored. In a super nice way, Dr. Walsh heavily implied that it was nothing that losing weight couldn't fix. She went to another PCP and was quickly diagnosed with Congestive heart failure; and they figured she'd had it for years.. She ended up in the ICU for 3 days with about half of that time being touch & go. They proceeded to drain 78 pounds of fluid surrounding her heart & lungs in 8 days. I guess Dr. Walsh is adequate for routine health concerns, but I highly recommend steering clear for life threatening conditions.

Ineptitude!
In my opinion, he shouldn't be treating patients. His care was so inept he almost caused me to die. He failed to listen and didn't acknowledge so many symptoms. I ended up getting tests done with another doctor and I had been living with Congestive heart failure for years most likely. Walsh was always superficially polite, but lacked care or empathy. I felt like he was laughing at me. Meanwhile, about a year later I am so much better. I lost around 145 in water weight, 78 of it in 8 days inpatient. My heart and lungs were surrounded by fluid. I have an amazing primary care provider now. I thank God I'm alive!

Went to Dr. Walsh about some pain and was referred to a pain clinic. When attempting to communicate with him what the other specialist was having me do in regards to my being unable to work, he seemed to write me off as if I wasn't actively trying to get better. Seemed exasperated when I asked for his opinion and even threw his hands up at one point. I tried to bring up a symptom I was concerned was related and he cut me off, saying if it wasn't about this pain he didn't want to hear it.

He's very calm & caring doctor. He listens to the patient and asks plenty of questions about symptoms. He diagnoses and then follows up consistantly until the treatment is working.
