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.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Walen. Right from the beginning, through to my last visit with him - he was, without question, THE best "doctor experience" I've had. I went to him for a neck procedure. I was upfront with what I wanted - or what I did NOT want... (I told him I did NOT want a 20-yr-old neck, with my 70-yr-old face... I wasn't out to look "young" - I was out to look "better".) He listened to me, and told me what he would do, based on what I'd told him. His proposal was sound, and I moved forward w. the surgery. His work was EXPERT (fellow doctor friends of mine are equally impressed!); no one says to me "Hey, did you get neck work done?" Instead, people are coming up to me, saying "Boy, you look good!" Exactly what I wanted. Dr. Walen was caring - his pre AND post surgery interactions were fantastic. He was there (via texts/e-mail) whenever I had a question. He alleviated any concerns. I cannot say ONE negative thing about my experience. A++

Dr Walen was arrogant, condescending and pompous. He only cared about making money off of my appointment and couldn't answer any of my questions in details. He instead made suggestions about things I needed to fix.

Doesn't call back with test results. Office staff is horrible!!!! Had a biopsy done, doctor failed to request biopsy to be graded and had me waiting an entire weekend with worry. Yes, I have cancer and never spoke to the doctor, just an unempathetic nurse who gave me zero information. Begged to get results sent to primary care doctor to figure out course of action. GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!
