I went to Dr. Walton after consistently having pain in my foot from a fall at work. Dr. Walton was very thorough. He explained my MRI results in layman’s words. He even recommended appropriate footwear to aid in my recovery. I would definitely recommend and have, to others.

Dr. Walton is great. I've been dealing with Rheumatoid arthritis since the 1980s. I have severe damage in my feet. For years, I've walked in pain. I saw a couple orthopedic doctors in the 1990s & they said they couldn't do anything for me. So I just dealt with the pain.Then I went to see Dr. Walton. After x-rays & exam, he described how he could help me. He patiently answered all of my questions. Now, I walk without pain. I can't believe I'm pain free!!! Thank you, Dr. Walton. You have made a positive difference in my life.
