Dr. David Howard Walker, MD

Dr David Walker is hands down the most nicest caring neurosurgeon that I have ever met he has amazing bedside manner and he takes really good care of his patients I would recommend him to anybody you can really he loves what he does

Where to begin. I had a spine MRI that shows narrowing at L4/L5. I could see it, the radiologist reported it, even an orthopedic physician assistant saw it. But Dr. Walker said there was nothing. He didn't even look at the MRI in the room with me. He stepped out of the exam room and came back with a photocopy of my spine and said, "That's not your problem." Then he poked me in the bursa and asked if that hurt. I said mild tenderness. Well, that was his diagnosis - I have bursitis (which I don't, not even close). Once he decided that I wasn't a candidate for surgery, he summarily dismissed me and my pain and my symptoms. On the plus side, (and why I gave two stars instead of one), I was able to get an appointment in the office within a week, and the other staff were very nice and helpful. SONSA has a good reputation. I hope to get a second opinion from another neuro/spine specialist.

Dr. Walker is very thorough and will explain what you don't understand. I'm happy with the results of my surgery, so far.

the visit was a bit whirlewind but the petter to my file assisted me in understanding what the Dr. was/is proposing

Very happy with my outcome, very good doctor.

Most recent MRI images not available for me to see. I still have feeling of suspended animation about when/if I will in fact have the surgery on my back.

Dr walker was very good at explaining what was happening and why he was doing more tests

I tried to contact my doctor for a week, including going in person. They had been communicating until then. After my third attempt going in person, I was told to go to the ER.

I am very pleased at how my recovery is coming and was very happy to hear Dr. Walker was as well. He had a printout of my Xray and went over it with me. Gave me some new instructions for my brace, giving me added, limited time, to be without it. I am very comfortable with Dr. Walker and SONSA.

Dr Walker is Very knowledgeable, thorough, and competent!! Always prepared for his patients!!

5 star service. The A Team. Emergency surgery with outcome as discussed. Thank you so very much.

This was my first appointment done this way and I absolutely loved it. So easy and from the safety of my home. I would do it this way every time if I could

I had a burst fracture of 2 thoracic vertebrae 10 years ago. Dr. Walker fused 5 of my vertebrae and did an excellent job. I mountain bike and ski and have never had any problems. I highly recommend Dr. Walker.

Dr. David Walker is unhumian and does such a poor job when it comes to sugergy. He did an surgery on my friend back and remove her disk and becasue of his poor skills he ended up having to do three surgeries to fix the pior one. DO NOT GO TO DR. DAVID WALKER HE IS AN AMIMAL!!!!

Dr. Walker is a rock star in my book. I had a 2 level lumbar fusion two years ago and all my pain is gone. Personally, I want my neurosurgeon to be an arrogant bastard. I really should thank him everyday in my prayers for giving me my pain free life back. Jose his PA is great too. JP

Terrible visit with Dr Walker. It was difficult to get into see him in the first place. His assistant was cold and brash ordering me around like a prison guard. He never once even examined the area of my neck that has caused me pain-recommended physical therapy and another set of mRI's and Xrays (only 2 months old) and no follow up. I will never go there again. He was terrible and cost over $500 for nothing. Also, the exam room was dirty and dingy. Go somewhere else.

Dr. Walker is the rudest doctor I have met by far. He is very arrogant and the worst bed side manner. Diagnosis put my family through unnecessary heartache. I would rather die than have him as my doctor.

They ordered unnecessary tests, never contacted me to schedule a follow up appointment, and then after I contacted the office 3 times I had to wait another month to get in for my follow up appointment. Then they told me there was nothing they could do for me, but wanted me to get a follow up MRI every 6 months just to make sure things weren't getting worse. The MRIs weren't even of the area where I have pain.
