Dr. Walton was great! He was thorough in his time with me and very competent. I felt like he was unwilling to provide boilerplate answers and solutions, but was willing to look deeply at my foot problem and come up with an overarching strategy. I highly recommend him.

I saw Dr. Walton at Resurgens for a second opinion on my ankle instability and cartilage injury, and the experience was excellent. Unlike my prior visit elsewhere, Dr. Walton took the time to sit down with me and go through my MRI images in detail. He explained what he was seeing, what it meant for my ankle, and laid out clear treatment options. He is very knowledgeable. What I appreciated most is that he heard my goals and truly listened to my concerns. Together, we determined that ankle stabilization surgery is the right step for me to confidently return to the sports and activities I enjoy. His thoroughness, patience, and willingness to explain everything in plain language gave me real confidence in my care plan. My surgery is scheduled for next month, and I am excited to have stability in my ankle again for the first time in years. I highly recommend Dr. Walton to anyone dealing with ankle issues — especially if you want a surgeon who listens, explains, and partners with you in planning the best path forward.
