Dr Walton took my “non emergency” issue seriously and did not just minimize it (like the previous practitioners had). Thank you !!!

I visited Dr. Walton’s office as a new patient and received excellent care. Dr. Walton listened attentively to my concerns, showing empathy and a genuine willingness to help me. I needed an MRI urgently, and he did everything possible to ensure it was scheduled. It is clear that he knows what he is doing and conducts himself with great ethics and professionalism. I highly recommend him. — Sandra Mosquera
