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.

The doctor is an active listener. Always prepared. I have an issue with billing from a procedure in his office. He is writing a letter to help clear up confusion with coding. He is a very caring doctor that makes sure you understand the answers to questions related to issues and X-rays.

Dr. Walthour is as great as they come. He is direct and thorough in his explanations and his post operative management is awesome. Simply put, Dr. Walthour is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is truly a patient advocate. I chose Dr. Walthour for a second opinion for problems with a frozen right shoulder. He thoroughly explained my problem and provided a surgical option which I took. 5 weeks after surgery, I am feeling better than I have over the last 8 months. The staff at his office in Tracy, Ca., are nothing short of polite and accommodating. I would not hesitate to choose Dr. Walthour if I should ever need orthopedic surgery.

Dr. Walthour is very thorough in his explanation of conditions and options. He goes into surgery only if it's the best option. As a surgeon he is a perfectionist. He is friendly as well as professional and his staff is top notch!

My son who is 12 years old and autistic visited the doctor 2 weeks ago to deal with some small motor skill issues with his hands. The doctor seemed knowledgeable and efficient at the time, and said he would follow up within 48 hours. However, 2 weeks later I am still playing phone tag with Sutter and have yet to hear back from the doctor personally with any treatment plan. I would not recommend this doctor.

I just wanted to say that Dr. Walthour is by far the best doctor that I have encountered over my years both working as a nurse and having him as my doctor. He has a fantastic bedside manner and he is very thorough when he explains your issue with you. He gives you a couple different options so that you can be a part of deciding what you would like to have done to fix your problem. He is a great surgeon. I had a meniscus tear that completely was torn away. He fixed it perfect!
