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 replaced my hip July of 2021. From day one I never knew I had a hip replaced. He did an excellent job and would highly recommend hi.

Wonderful doctor!
Dr Walker has always been kind, compassionate and extremely helpful! He diagnosed me with osteophytes on my hip. He listens and helps me with my concerns. I know a hip replacement will be coming down the road and I wouldn’t want any other surgeon! I have met others that had him as their surgeon and they couldn’t have hoped for anyone better.

Staff mirror image of organized crime. Totality reigns, to hell with civil rights, and minimal care. I am a blind disabled american, what a kick in the balls with that bunch, but they can answer to federal law. Dr. Walker acts like he is torn between profit and performance, more lying. He tried to sell me extensive bi-lateral knee replacement surgery. claiming relief, yet no imaging, odd? I secured imaging on my own, it turns out that my problem in my right knee is scar tissue on the parameter of the patella a two hour procedure. Walker wanted to destroy the rest of my life in lieu of putting cash in his pockets. If he senses that you are not buying into his cult like approach you are out. I let him put a knife to my body one time circa 2016, have been in pain from that point forward. In addition to the above there has been a deletion of my files, and my medication regimen. If you are smart you will run from this man, avoid years of suffering. there is hope refer to HHS/OCR.

Called Lake Orthopedic due to a fractured wrist and wad assigned to Dr Walker. He was quick to diagnose and said come back in 2 weeks to set. Did he even look at my x-rays? Never referred me to a specialist until it was too late. Now my wrist is permanently damaged due to his negligence.

Its been 2 yrs ago or so i had both right and left total hip replacement surgeries performed by* Dr Walker. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Walker and his Madison staff. There is not one thing i would change in the experience i had. I suffered from Vascular Necros and my hips were severely damaged. Now i hike and bike for miles.. 0 complications 100% thrilled with the outcome. The only way I even know i had surgery is the total lack of discomfort i now enjoy.

Couldn't ask for more! I am very happy with the surgical outcomes and care I have received from Dr. Walker. In addition, he is a straightforward and personable doctor, which is what you want in a surgeon. You can't go wrong choosing him.
