Dr. Walter Wakwe, MD

Dr Walkwi is my wife’s surgeon. The team treated her with all the respect and friendliness in a very hard time in her life. The doctor explained every step and procedure that he did. We would highly recommend his team for any of your concerns.

I have received top notch service from banner employees from the moment I walked in till moment I walked out.I felt I was treated with dignity.

DR WAKWE did my cancer surgery remove a tumor in my thymus - almost the size if a baseball. Pre and post surgery consultations were thorough. All my questions were answered as well as many I had not thought to ask. I went into surgery confident and relaxed.

I recently needed surgery after years in pain.....Dr. Wakwe and his team did such a fantastic job that I woke up after surgery and my pain is gone! With 6 incisions in my stomach, never experienced any pain! I highly recommend Dr. Wakwe and his professional team without hesitation!

For several years I struggled with health issues. I was treated by several wonderful specialists who did what they could to control my symptoms, but they were ultimately unable to find a plausible diagnosis. Recently I was referred to Dr. Walter Wakwe, a Thoracic Surgeon. On my very first visit with him, he was able to give me a possible diagnosis and he also presented a plan for a possible cure. Dr. Wakwe has treated me and we have followed his plan. For the very first time in several years, my symptoms are subsiding and other things that I did not recognize as related symptoms have also drastically improved. I don't know how much longer I could have gone on dealing with those symptoms. Dr. Wakwe is a very gifted doctor and surgeon. He is kind, approachable and well educated. In my life, he is and always will be a very great blessing to me. I am grateful beyond words to have so much of my health returned to me, thanks to Dr. Wakwe. I will be forever in his debt. -LaRue Kreutz
