    When I first met Dr Walker, I had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. on my first appointment, my entire body shook. Other doctors had prescribed meds but the tremors continued. Dr Walker is the only doctor who looked at the other medications I was on. One of the medicines was Ability. It was suggested that I go off the Ability. I was weined off the medication. The tremors got better. I do have Parkinson's but my quality of life is much improved since the Ability was removed. I credit Dr Walker for his efforts to help me and I am very grateful!! !

    This visit was for my husband who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a year ago. The previous neurologist that we saw at a different health care facility was very dismissive of our concerns, condescending, and spent minimal time with us, so we decided to find a new neurologist. Dr. Walker was very welcoming, answered all of our questions, and we did not feel like he was trying to rush us through the appointment. We were very pleased with the care that my husband received.
