This limited space provided is not sufficient to explain how impressed I was with Dr. Walker. He was able to clearly explain my complicated medical issues and focused on possible options for treatment, which was my primary reason for seeing Dr. Walker. I would highly recommend Dr. Walker to anyone needing medical guidance for a complicated spine issues.
