Kelley Walker's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Kelly Walker has helped me for the last 21 years. She is wonderful to be around!

The staff is unpleasant. The nurse does the entire assessment and all the work. Dr. Kelly barely talks to you.

DO NOT TRUST DR.WALKER - Dr.Walker prescribed a mix of medication that caused me to develop Serotonin Syndrome and toxicity. Dr.Walker did not believe me when I was reporting side effect after side effect. She deemed my “histrionic” and ignored my complaints. She instead increased the dosage (never ordering a blood draw) and it wasn’t until I had SEIZURES that I was heard. Dr.Walker’s pure negligence resulted in my near-death at the age of 20. It took me YEARS to trust doctors again after this.

I've been a patient of Dr. Walker for several years now. When I first started seeing her I was very depressed. Now, with the help of her and her staff, I am a completely different person. She also helped me with quitting smoking. It'll be 7 years in September. Thanks Dr. Walker and staff.

I love Dr. Walker. She’s helped me overcome my struggle with addiction while never being judgmental. The people who leave bad reviews don’t know how Psychiatry offices work..

Having been a patient for several years I can say with certainty that the service and quality of care I have received from Dr. Walker and The Center for Family Psychiatry has been nothing but excellent. Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and professional whether it be simply scheduling appointments or providing information and effective solutions regarding even the most complicated mental health issues both during appointments or in the case of a mental health emergency. Dr. Walker herself is extremely well versed and up to date on all of the latest medications as well as alternative treatment modalities for all types of mental illness and really takes the time to get to know her patients in order to provide a plan of care that is tailored to each individual patient and provides the best possible chance of success. It is highly evident that both Dr. Walker and the rest of the staff at The Center for Family Psychiatry care deeply about improving the mental health and quality of life of each of their patients. I would highly recommend this physician and her staff to anyone that is need of a mental healthcare provider in the Knoxville, TN area.

Ive been going to Dr Walker for 20 years now. A nurse takes you back and goes over all your information then relays to to Dr Walker, so when she walks in the room she is prepared to work with you. I see the doctor every single time I go. I fully trust her with making sure im always taking the medications that work best for me.

I love Dr. Walker. She’s helped me so much with my struggle of addiction. The people leaving bad reviews don’t understand how Psychiatry offices work..

Unless you’re looking for a prescription without proper diagnosis, then don’t go. Otherwise you could probably walk in there and tell her something is wrong with you (whether it’s true or not) and she’d prescribe you pills. Dr. Walker spent little time talking to me & trying to get to know me as a patient, she just came in the room with her prescription pad saying I needed to be medicated because, ‘do you really want to live your life this way?’. I threw her prescription in the trash, I will find someone else who will actually take the time to talk to me.

Dr. Walker diagnosed my husband in his words, as the most ADHD adult” she ever evaluated. She prescribed high doses of Ritalin without ever recommending a physical examination or insisting he have a physical work up before continuing Ritalin. He had an undiagnosed blood cancer that was affecting his cognition. As far as I am concerned she is unethical in her practice and contributed to his death.
