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.

Dr. Walker is awesome. Very informative
This is my third visit to this office each time I was there at least two hours. Today I had a 2pm appointment for Ultrasound in which I was in around 2:40. Next I was scheduled to see the doctor at 3pm Well I was the last person to be seen at 5:37 pm. People came on and was still waiting. So asked when she called her next patient she said you're well two was called after that leaving to be the last one. Something went wrong here. This is not right. I not on medicaid I pay 358.00 health insurance so I here for free. Thanks for listening. I that everyone has a blessed life.

Dr. Walker is an excellent doctor. He takes his time to listen to your symptoms and develop a treatment plan to discover what could have caused the issue and how to treat the condition. He will get you as comfortable as he possibly can. The best part about it is that he remembers you and each time you see him you're not just a number to him you're an actual patient, who's going through something.

Fantastic doctoring
I don’t care how long I have to wait to see a doctor when he and his staff treat me like a person and not a number and don’t keep looking at their watch like as if I’m taking up their time. God bless CIS!

Although I have had treatment before seeing Dr. Walker for my peripheral artery disease walking was limited and always painful. I cannot express my gratitude for being able to walk, and walk pain free, and a decade. desperate I traveled from South Florida to Houma Louisiana on a recommendation from a friend. The entire medical experience was wonderful. I never waited more than 10 minutes for multiple appointments with Dr. Walker and for multiple tests in his office. His staff was both knowled
