As always, I was impressed with and grateful for Dr. Walsh's kindness, competence and care in listening to my situation and helping me determine next steps, then facilitating them. It was serendipitous that I had an appt already scheduled with him after being in the hospital and then rehab nursing facility for more than 4 weeks. He could not have been more helpful in doing tests, giving guidance that would get me back to a good place quickly.

Dr Walsh is a wonderful, experienced, knowledgeable doctor who listens, explains everything clearly, and is very easy to talk to. He always explains a new diagnosis, test result and recommended treatment clearly, and he asks if you have any questions. The practice is very well-run and the staff is responsive and respectful. I would recommend Dr. Walsh to anyone in need of an excellent GP.

Dr. Walsh great. He knew the entire history of my hospital visit and helped me understand the nature of pneumonia illness - as well as the treatment. He reminded me not to wait so long the next time I have a fever before going to the ER, given my age.
