I have been a patient for about 5 years now. Dr Walker listens to my questions/concerns. Helps me understand my ailments. Have tried different meds. Explains all of these to me. His nurse Rose is very nice to work with. Calls answered in a timely manner.

If there is any amount of complexity to your health problem, he will simply refer you back to your primary. Not a good guy at all. In the same office of some of the best professionals in the area. Walker doesn't come close to expectations. Don't waste your time with him.

I have met this man, or doctor if you, in and outside of a “professional” setting. Don’t waste your time on either level - he thinks VERY highly of himself, and I’ve received better care elsewhere.

. Dr. Walker was recommended to me. The office staff answering his phones and taking appointments could not have been more rude, dismissive, and arrogant, wasting my time, keeping me "hanging" , and discourteous enough to not return phone calls. Perhaps the staff reflects the doctor's attitude toward patients or perhaps Geisinger provides such job security these people feel no need to adequately deal with senior citizens and prospective patients.

Dr. Walker was very knowledgable. He took the time to listen to me and come up with a plan of treatment. I would highly recommend him.

My husband and I are both patients. Dr. Walker is the best in his field. He is a wonderful and caring person. The diseases a rheumatologist treats are very frightening for the patient, and Dr. Walker puts your mind at ease. You know you're going to get the most effective treatment. Thank you!
