Patient Experience Reviews
BEST DOCTOR EVER STAFF IS WONDERFUL>.
He seemed very nice. I didn't ask many questions because I had a trigger finger before. The office gave me a list of providers to choose from to get my nerve X-ray. I'm in the process now as some of these are quite far away.
Dr Walter was very professional, personable and answered all of my questions. I was completely satisfied with my visit. He explained options for my treatment of Tennis Elbow. Would highly recommend him. Just a wonderful Doctor !!!!
My first time seeing Dr. Walter. I'm hoping that I do not continue to have issues with "trigger finger" but if I do; I will return to see him. He was professional, knowledgeable and kind.
1 time seeing the Dr explained to me the probable for pain and solutions if doesn't clear make appointment to move onto next step, Quite happy with explanation and will try, both orthopedic doctors I have seen (1 for hips 1 for hands) have been very professional and polite and would recommend to anyone.
Everything was good! Everyone was helpful and caring
Good
Everyone at this location is fantastic. Dr. Walter took his time with me and never felt rushed
I love Dr. Walter: he very clearly explained to me how Kenalog injections in my right hand to treat trigger fingers had, at best, a 50-70% chance of success and should I need it, to call him in two months for additional treatment if needed. So farso goodexcept one untreated finger is mildly bothersome and I may call him to ask whether or not to treat it or leave it alone. Excellent doctor, loved seeing him!
Dr.Walters was fine , prompt , listened , talked about what we was going to do , had me bring in my xrays from wellnow gave me shot in my hand / finger ...wouldn't let him do the other 2 fingers cause it hurt way to bad , told me what cream I could use on it to help it out n that if in when I needed him again , to come back !!! Overall was a good experience n very caring respectful doctor !

Excellent professional doctor and staff, recomend them highly
Dr Walter did my emergency surgery and my follow up. He did an excellent job.
It was a great relief to hear about the potential surgery in more detail, since it was considerably less severe than I had anticipated.
Good
I was very impressed with Dr. Walters. I had not seen him before it was suggested by my primary care to see him about some shoulder complaints. He was very professional and very clearly explain anything and everything that was done. I will greatly pleased and I would definitely recommend him if anybody else needs this kind of care.
Great
I have had a good experience with this provider two years ago for surgery on right hand. Everything went smoothly and so I have the confidence he will do so again on my left hand. He and his team were so kind and understanding and that means a lot.
