Dr. Andrew John Walter, MD

I’m happy to share that Dr. Walter is very professional and knowledgeable. He cares about his patients and it shows. Dr. Walter listened what I had to say and payed attention to every detail. I felt very comfortable in his care and I know that he’ll do his best to help me with my medical issues.

I had a procedure done at Rossebille by Dr. Walter. Upon discharge I was not given instructions by Merliee or Dr. Walter on how to remove the catheture. I was told to Pull it out at 7:00 the next morning. Well, I did and blood covered the bathroom floor. The bulb was still intact. It was extremely painful. I almost passed out. I hope this never happens to anyone else. I have contacted member services but have not even received a letter or apology. barbara dorsett

i had a bladder procedure done by dr. walter in 2020. i had a cathature put in with no insutructions on how to remove it or empty it. i was instructed to "pull" it out the next day. I did. the bulb was still intact and i almost passed out. lots s of blodd and majorly traumatized me. my bladder problem is fixed but dr. walter said it will return and the procedure must be repeated. i am not a happy camper.

Since having surgery done ( twice since the first surgery failed ) I have been miserable. He performed what was to be a bladder suspension but included a complete hysterectomy that was unneeded as my uterus and ovaries were perfect. I agreed to the hysterectomy only after he described it as something he could do "while in there" and others had been satisfied in the same procedure being done to them. I didn't know until later, when viewing a chat of the femaly body, that the uterus and cervix help to support the bladder. I had never experienced menopausal symptoms, other than stopping my periods, until after this surgery. I was 66. He had told me that my ovaries were probably all dried up and moved out of lace. In coming out of the anesthesia the first thing I asked him was, "Were my ovaries all shriveled up?" He told me No they were in good shape! I have regretted having this done now for over 10 years. I still wear pads from bladder leakage and added to that, I feel emotionally… unbalanced. I feel I aged very fast after that. I thought it was just a mistake by a young Doctor, but I have since learned from friends that Dr. Walter still encourages a hysterectomy from patients who only need bladder support. You couldn't pay me to be seen by Dr. Walter now! Shame on him!

Dr. Walter was a great listener during my appointment. He explained everything very well. We were able to come up with a treatment plan that had worked really well for me.
