Swedish Patient
The dr is the best Dr I have ever had. I have so much jaded issues with medical system, he has made me feel safe and heard. It is the first time I have ever respected or liked my dr since I was a child. I don't like the reception staff though they are rude and don't seem to want to help people especially the nurses. I can ask is someone here the nurses will dead look at me and walk away. They could just be decent and say "someone is coming". But they don't and I always need to wait longer. I only come here for the dr otherwise would find different office. But good job hiring competent compassionate drs

Dr. Walston saw me as a drop-in for a cough that had been worsening over 3 wks. He knew my medical history, was very attentive, thoughtful, kind and responsive. I felt that he listened to me and provided excellent care. He also discussed follow-up and said that if I had worsening symptoms or didn't improve that I should contact his team the next week. (this was near xmas so not sure my regular doctor would be in). I greatly appreciated the visit and care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Walston to others.
