Dr Walker is a wonderful doctor. He is so intelligent and an expert in his field. He trains other physicians from all over the world went to Harvard. I have been a patient for 20+ years and would only see him for vascular needs. He is the best in the world in my eyes.

I arrived on time for my appointment. I did not have to wait very long. Somebody met me took my blood pressure. Weighed me and said the Dr. would be in a minute, and then in a minute Dr. Walker walked. Looked at my chart, told me what was going on. He's very personable, and he also told me what we would be looking forward to. I'm just so glad I was able to get in with Dr. Walker. Excellent, excellent, excellent.
