Patient Comments
- February 18, 2021Dr. Walsh is the best all-around provider i've ever had any dealings with. Big picture my daughter didn't have any life threatening issues but it was clear that i was a first time mother with concerns and he made me feel completely at ease.
- September 4, 2020We loved our experience with this provider. He explained to us what he specializes in to give us background of what he would be able to do for us. He explained why we were being seen by him. He answered all of our questions without having to ask for more detail or clarification. He made sure that we understood and asked us what other questions we had for him (which we didn't after he explained everything so efficiently). He made us feel important and never rushed. We left feeling completely satisfied and confident. Great provider that we would highly recommend to anyone who would be in need of his services.
