Dr. Walker is wonderful . She listened and her kindness helped me even before we discussed medications
I've already recommended Dr. Walker to friends looking for a PCP; she is both knowledgeable and willing to respect patient autonomy and self-knowledge. Anytime I ask for a referral, she's happy to make it happen, and gives me options to choose from.
As I said earlier, Dr. Walker is really excellent. I did forget to mention that she corrected me on the way I took one of my medications--and she was able to do so because she took the time to talk to me about my medications. Please see my comments earlier about her.
I always recommend Dr Walker and this whole office to friends looking for a PCP.
The main purpose of the visit was for Dr. Walker to administer a memory test. From the beginning of the appointment, she provided a safe and non-threatening atmosphere, which was a such a big help, since I was concerned about the possibility that I was showing the beginning signs of dementia. I performed very well on the test, with no signs at all of dementia, and I'm not sure I would have performed as well if Dr. Walker had not provided such a friendly atmosphere. In addition, after the test, she spent a good bit of time explaining the things I could do to stay mentally sharp. The test and her discussion afterwards really eased my mind. I'm so thankful that she made the time for this appointment.
Dr. Walker is EXCELLENT. For instance, I was concerned about both sleep and memory issues, and she gave me wonderful explanations of the problems, as well as giving me an appointment very soon about the possibility of any memory problems. But she was comforting in saying that from just talking to me, she didn't see evidence of memory problems. In addition, she got back to me immediately with feedback about the blood tests she ordered. I'm very grateful to have her as my provider.
I feel very confident and comfortable with Dr. Walker. I have frequently recommended her to friends.
