Dr.Walker is the absolute best Dr. God ever made!!! I have trusted him with my care for years!!! Wishing him a well deserved retirement but will miss him.

Google Reviews • Forefront

I've really appreciated the dermatological care that I've received from Dr. Kent Walker over the past 22 years. He's had to do about 15 minor surgeries to remove carcinomas of various types. All the surgeries have been successful. I'm sad that he will be retiring at the end of 2026.
