Dr. Robert Walker Jr, MD

He just didnt listen to me…many years suffering with Crohns disease

My gastro dr left the practice. Was referred to another Dr but due to scheduling conflict, I was scheduled with Dr. Walker last year. I was due for colonoscopy and endoscopy. Procedures went well. He told me to continue with current meds. Recently, I've been feeling unwell with GI issues and went to urgent care due to extreme right side pain. Had ct scan and blood work. Urgent care Dr said everything was normal. "Pain could be from surgical adhesions. Stay on clear liquid diet until I see Dr. Walker". Three days later. Dr. Walker says all of my tests are normal. "You've been struggling with severe IBS for years." Am I under stress? I need to get out in nature to relax. Nature is a great healer. Get IB guard from Amazon. Which he just told the patient in the room next to me to purchase as well. He invalidated my ongoing nausea and stabbing right side pain. No medication. Just to relax and get out in nature. Unbelievable!

My experience with Dr. Robert Walker at Crystal Run Healthcare was BEYOND horrific. I’ve been sick and dealing with a hiatal hernia and severe GERD/acid reflux and have done lots of testing and tried all of the treatment options (meds, food, etc.). My original GI retired and Crystal Run recommended seeing Dr. Robert Walker. The brief appointment I had with him was the absolute WORST. He kept cutting me off left and right whenever I tried talking or explaining my symptoms- so much so I don’t think he even got to hear half of what I was saying. Then this man had the audacity to imply that it’s basically all in my head. His treatment plan? To just take it easy and relax. He told me that “positive thinking” (his exact words) will resolve my chronic severe GERD/acid reflux. He was gaslighting me and encouraging me to “just relax” and de-stress as a treatment. I have NEVER felt so invalidated by a doctor before and made to feel like what I’m experiencing isn’t real.

It was very professional

I am a 78 year young male who has a family history of all different types of cancer, including colon cancer. I have been going to Dr. Walker for many years. for a colonoscopy. He has always been very caring. I always have polyps removed, sometimes several. His office always calls me quickly with the results.

Promised he would be able to help me with my issue. That he would work with me and persevere in his efforts. Scheduled me for a procedure. Once that was done and BILLED, he no longer had any interest in helping me. Right after the procedure, he told me to keep doing what I was doing and offered no suggestions or possible treatment! When he called back after I called for biopsy results, he spent (no exaggeration) 10 seconds on the phone&! EMPTY CALLOS PROMISES!! AVOID!

He has been treating me for almost one year, since a hospital emergency admission. He is compassionate, intelligent, and a really good listener. My wife and I had great confidence in him from our first meeting and continue to trust him. His office team is also excellent. We can confidently recommend him.

Caring , thorough , compassionate
