Patient Experience Reviews
Everything is very professional,dr.walter is great to talk to
Good experience
Very good experience
Very professional with a balanced approach. Dr. Walter provide a range of care options for the patient (me) to consider and select as a starting point. This was excellent and a relief. His nurse (or assistant) provided literature to read and next steps for therapy tools, along with what I could do on my own.
Dr Walter is an outstanding communicator and listener. I felt very comfortable with him. I now have a level of confidence in him, and trust in his surgical abilities.

1st time at Streetsboro office and very favorably impressed with doctor, xray technician and support staff
Excellent provider
I received excellent care from Dr. James Walter, his staff.
The entire team at Dr. Walters' office were friendly, compassionate and efficient. They took time to answer my questions and gave me treatment options--explaining the pros and cons of each. I would definitely recommend them and will return in the future for treatment.
Wonderful doctor did everything fast the way that I like it so I can get in and get out and you really help me out what he told me made a lot of sense that I have arthritis in my wrist. I will see him again.
I was very pleased with the entire visit.
Dr said I could return for another cortisone shot in my right hand in as little as two months. He recommended surgery if two shots did not help my hand. He is the most cheerful doctor I have ever encountered.
I was very happy with my visit with Dr Walter. He explained my options and helped me make a decision that was right for me. His office staff was very kind and friendly.

Dr. Walter is the best hand surgeon ever, he's kind and patient and very compassionate and explains everything clearly when you ask questions. I'm so grateful to have him on my orthopedic team at UH and have already recommended him to other friends. I love seeing him whenever I experience hand problems because he knows exactly what needs to be done to ease the pain and problems and help me get back to doing what I love the most. Highly recommended doctor!
He was very good wish all doctors were like him.
I see this provider whenever I have a specific need for pain relief for pain from arthritis in my wrist. This visit, I also had questions about discomfort in my hips.
Very professional and yet personal at the same time. Good 'bedside manner'. Polite and very informative.
