Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding provider and VERY engaging
Dr. Walker's ability to explain each step of the procedure.

Dr. Walker embodies everything a doctor should be!
Dr. Walker, his nurses and his front office personnel are the best! I've been a patient of Dr. Walker for almost 10 years. He has been able to use root nerve blocks and epidurals to take care of the pain in my c-spine and eliminate the need for surgery. If I have a question or issue, I can leave a message for one of the nurses and they actually call me back! The front office personnel, Sandy, Jade and Rhonda, are always helpful and they don't make you feel like you're being bothersome. I can't imagine going to any other pain clinic.

Dr. Walker and his team are great. No wait time, everyone very nice and friendly. Dr. Walker made sure that the procedure was as pain free as he could possibly make it. That meant a lot to me. Overall visit was really good.

Kind and gentle doctor
Until I was lucky enough to get Dr. Walker as much pain as I was in I DREADED the pain I'd go through to get a shot to relieve pain. And it was never guaranteed that I'd get a 50% chance @ Any relief when I walked out, IF I was Able to walk out, A lot of times I'd have to be rolled out.

Dr. Walker
I trust him very much. He talks to you and keeps you focused by telling you exactly what he is going to. He has very good bedside manners. And he keeps you smiling or laughing in an appropriate way. I give him a A+ rating and would highly recommend him. And he listens to your concerns. It's worth the drive an hour and 20 minutes away from where I live. I could have went to a collogue of his up here, but I chose the drive here to Cape. And I will continue to drive to Cape
