    The physician and physician assistant, I spoke with were extremely professional, answered all of my questions, and provided a very detailed explanation of the procedure they were planning. Thank you.

    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.
