Dr. Walburn was our doctor for 40 years plus. He is an amazing physician. We were very sad when he retired. He can never be replaced!!

Dr.Walburn is the best doctor I have ever met. I have been taking my children to him for 16 years. He is very smart and explains everything very well.

My youngest daughter is almost 30 years old and Dr. Walburn has been her doctor since she was about 9 months old. Subsequently my other daughter who has four children has taken all of her children to Dr. Walburn and now my youngest takes her four month old to Dr. Walburn. We live about 25 miles from Dr. Walburn's office, but would not even think of taking our children to a different doctor. Dr. Walburn is caring and we feel like he truly cares about our kids and our family. He is patient and kind. He gives you a real sense of calm and understanding. We hope he NEVER retires.

Great doctor. I have been other pediatrician offices with my child, maybe this office is not the most colorful and modern, but Dr. Walburn is the best among all the pediatrician I have seen. He listens to your concerns, observe the child thoroughly, give you comprehensive suggestions and options. Easy to talk to and spend bunch of time with me. I am transferring both my kids here now.

Dr. Walburn was my doctor when I was little and now at 26, it was a given that he would be my daughters' doctor. He takes the time to talk with you and cares about treating his patients. He is wonderful and has correctly diagnosed my little ones illnesses everytime. Highly recommend!

Dr Walburn is excellent. I have used him with 2 children and he has never let me down. He has accurately diagnosed every illness and confimed his diagnosis with tests - and we have had everything from allegies 2 spinal meningitus!

Although my sons are now grown, I took them from the time one was 4-1/2 yrs. old and the other a newborn. He is an excellent, caring doctor. He will spend as much time needed to answer any questions you may have. I highly recommend Dr. Walburn.
