Been seeing Dr. Walton for many years now. He’s always been reassuring and positive with me. I’ve always been fairly spooked about my eyes and the possibility of blindness sooo sometimes i’ve been alittle cranky about it. But i’ve learned i can trust him and his team and his solutions.;

I have gone to Dr Walton for the past 12 years for my annual checkups, cataract surgery on both eyes and any eye concerns that arise. I have found him to be personable, professional and very knowledgable. He fully explains everything and answers any questions i have without rushing. His support staff is friendly and efficient.
