Dean Walker Md's Online Review Report Card

I've been seeing Dr. Walker for years and she is knowledgeable, professional, and I trust her intrinsically. I have referred her to friends and they have also given her rave reviews. Great doctor and a great practice!

Dr Walker diagnosed my illness quickly andoffered concern surrounding the ramifications of it - She was direct and poignant surrounding deciphering my illness. Her staff were empathetic and supportive. On my end I wanted a clear diagnosis with lab work so I called the office and the Nurse Practitioner ordered a blood test.I was relieved that my diagnosis wasn't as severe as originally thought which the blood test confirmed.

I called Dr. Walker's office to try and book an appointment and didn't even get the courtesy of a return call. Not sure how it is for patients, but they certainly don't seem to care about non-patients at her office.

Terrible doctor....cold, uncaring, doesn't care about her patients.

The office is very difficult to deal with. They don't return calls, their written communication is generic, they don't follow-up, and they seem to be more concerned with CYA, and their internal 'procedures than with the wellbeing of their patients. I have been a patient for a few years and poor communication has always been the case. Referrals take for ever, request for records go answered. The last thing that took me over the edge and to writing this review , I had a severe adverse effect to a medication they prescribed. I texted them, they send a notice that they got the message, but nobody got back to me in now 3 weeks. No follow-up, no offer of an alternative, nothing. I was left on my own to deal with it. Sure, we are in a pandemic and communication is more difficult than usual, but still it doesn't seem right.Dr. Walker herself is a decent doctor, but her manner is so impersonal, so indifferent, it anxiety producing for me to ask her for help.

Dr. Walker abandoned me as a patient. Needed a prescription refilled urgently as I had poison oak over my entire body. Oozing, red, hot, itchy. Should never called to renew it. Her nurse practitioner who I saw, was very, very inexperienced. Didn't know how to write a prescription for pills. Horrible, horrible experience.

I went in to interview Dr Walker as my GP is about to retire, I asked her to calibrate my blood pressure monitor. She took my blood pressure and then told me to lie down immediately gave me an EKG and sent me to the emergency room since then she has skillfully quarterbacked my recovery Her diagnostic skills and her no nonsense approach made it clear to me that I am in capable handsI HIGHLY Recommend Dr. Walker

Dr. Walker is an EXCELLENT doctor. She is professional, competent, empathetic, compassionate, and caring. I'm over 70 and I went to see her for the first time last week for my yearly physical exam and she is very thorough and understands how difficult it is for me to make it to doctor appointments. I usually see my primary care doctor only once a year for a physical exam and only when necessary. I am extremely happy she is my primary care doctor.

Dr. Walker is the best doctor I've had in years! She's so attentive, gets the job done quickly (as a working individual this is super important to me), does a great job of balancing empathy/sympathy and reality! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new doc!

Love, love, love Dr. Walker. She was attentive, a great listener, & helpful without being judgmental. I liked that she slightly insisted I get my colonoscopy that is due this year. She encouraged me to try a low carb diet, which is what I needed. I look forward to a great doctor-patient relationship for many years to come.
