Crystal Walker, MD, FACC

Her willful negligence has been noted in my family (a death under her watch) and among at least 2 other friends and acquaintances, the same experience, yet they made it out alive, barely. Steer clear.

Really cares about people very kind and helpful and very good at explaining stuff and help people get there heath better I definitely recommend her to others in

3 yrs ago my primary heard a mummer in my heart and sent me to Cardiologist Dr Walker. Who sent me for multiple tests and never communicated any major issues, never placed me on medication. Next year more tests nothing major noted. Had me schedule yearly reviews. Last year, in April, My cholesterol was high with my primary and she put me on 10mg simivastatin and my cholesterol went into mostly normal range in 6 months Oct , triglycerides were a little high. Went to Dr Walker for routine visit and no new tests from her, but I took my LifeLine. screening from earlier that year in May, which showed no heart issues also Blood test from before with primary along with 6 month past blood and showed her how it went down. Immediately says 10 mg does nothing you need to be on 40 mg. I said why such a huge increase if 10 made a big difference. She starts screaming (yes screaming!). " Don't you understand you are going to need surgery within the next two years?" When I asked for what ? She just repeated 2 yrs and said she wanted to see me in a year and walked out! I called and scheduled a different Cardiologist in Huntsville for my next visit. Her tests compared to the last test was comparable nothing major to note. I'm at the age they will monitor yearly for any changes as we know parts wear out. Before I went to new Dr I went to Patient Portal pulled all my records to take to new Dr. And Found a page that said: I had come in complaining of chest pains which were increasing during the week and been having these issues for several months. That is in my file for all Drs, hospitals and pharmacies in the area to view. I showed it to my husband, my sister, my neighbors and they asked when did I have chest pains? Exactly! . I'm going to tell you all, I have never had chest pains. She has my confused with other and there is no changing, they won't remove it. I took photo of that page in my file and I will show it to every Dr from here on out and have to explain. It never happened. Between her bedside manner, the false records and her lack of communication I will not recommend her.

Everyone at the office was so kind and patient with my adult blind and brain damaged son. They talked with him instead of me yet watched me for clarification thus treating him with respect. He is traumatized by doctor visits and can act out but they handled it well. Dr. Walker was clear and thorough. I am so thankful this will be the group keeping a check on him.

Clearly this place monitors their ratings and deletes the bad ones because there is absolutely no way someone else hasn't said something about the nasty attitudes from the girls on the phone. I haven't even been up there yet, only talked to Lexi and one other girl on the phone about my appointment and they have the most bland, unamused, disrespectful attitudes just confirming appointments. I can only imagine how they will be in person. I'll give it a shot and see y'all beautiful ladies on Thursday :) Could be amusing for me! I just highly doubt any dr would want people with attitudes like that being the face of the front office and communicating on the phone the way they do! If she does, yikes
