Dr. Walsh has done my hip replacement and both of my knees. Not only is he a very reliable and gifted surgeon, he is also a nice and caring person. I love chatting with him. He is the best there is.

Dr. Walsh is such an amazing, confident and caring doctor! He’s so personable and genuine. He takes the time to listen and explain things . He also is observant and really cares about who you are and how you are doing. Would give higher than 5 if possible. I feel very fortunate to be a patient in his practice.

I saw Dr. Walsh for a consultation regarding knee replacement of my knee which has a torn meniscus. His reputation is stellar, and while I am not ready for surgery at this time, I wanted to relieve my mind by getting his advice in case the recommendation was to not wait. I have great success with cortisone injections at this time, so he agreed that it is not imperative that I have surgery. We will meet again in 6 months. I plan to do my part in getting stronger to prepare for future surgery. His knowledge and reputation as one of the best knee surgeons in the Bangor, ME area, and his attitude in talking with me, invinced me he would be my choice to do the survey in my future.
