Dr. Walsh has been my primary provider for more than 20 yrs and I would not go to any other provider, even if I have to wait more than 30 mins to see him (which I didn't). I have recommended him to all my friends and family. I'm glad he is still seeing patients.

Dr. Walsh is the best. Explains everything, very thorough, and treats me with dignity and respect. He's hands-down the best PCP I've ever had (and I'm old).

I never feel rushed when being examined by Dr. Walsh and I never leave with unanswered questions. I do, though, always leave with an even better, deeper, understanding of my health, preventive actions I can take, and the logic behind why Dr. Walsh made conclusions about my health or its care.
