Dr. Walburn is a very good Dr. I've been taking my baby there since she was days old and he is always so careful with her and listens to any concerns we have. There is almost never a wait and when there is one it takes less than 30-20 minutes for him to get to you. The receptionist are very kind and give us formula samples every time we go.

Dr. Walburn was so reassuring and charming. There was no wait. He had very helpful advice and put both mom and child at ease. We are delighted.

He's awesome. If you're looking for a practice with state-of-the art TV's and aquariums, with huge waiting rooms and endless phone trees, this is not for you. If you're looking for an incredibly experienced pediatrician, who will listen to your concerns and do his research before making a decision; who will return your phone calls personally, who spends his resources on good staff and time with his patients instead of updating his office, then you've found your child's doctor. Can't recommend more highly.

Always a short wait time. Always great care.
September 13, 2016Selena Z.Verified patient
Dr. Walburn was thorough and spent what I felt like was quality time asking questions and answering questions. Although the office was a little older than our previous doctors office it was very quiet and clean. We are looking forward to Dr. Walburn being our baby's primary doctor and our little ones who is on the way soon.

Perfect. We liked him. My son's first visit with him was so impressive. He really knows how to handle kids. he's hands on to his patients. My son is due for his immunization and he does the vaccine and my son didn't cry. He's going to be my son's PCP.

Dr Walburn is kind and thorough and takes time to speak to everyone. He addresses my children directly and his staff is all very patient and personable. We enjoy our visits to his office very much.
February 13, 2015Emerson D.Verified patient
The visit was great. My 8 year old said he felt comfortable and asked when he would go again. When I told him next year he was a bit disappointed. Dr. Walburn had great bedside manner and connected with the children very naturally.

As always wonderful!!!
December 20, 2014Joana C.Verified patient
Dr. Walburn was fantastic; I was a little skeptical based only upon the initial impact of the office and waiting room - but he was by far one of the most patient and thorough physicians I've ever encountered, and he made a solid effort to make my daughter feel comfortable before any type of exam. Awesome!
October 16, 2014Rylee N.Verified patient
My husband's job moves us around a lot so we have used quite a few different doctors for the kids and Dr. Walburn was one of the best! He was fantastic with both of my children and made sure to answer all of the questions we had. He also came in to do my daughter's shots himself which I thought was really great. I highly recommend him!
November 1, 2014Jessa H.Verified patient
My daughter was sick with a fever, cough, and wheeze and had thrown up. He prescribed her an oral prescription over a shot, however she did not want to take the medicine orally because of the taste. I called Dr. Walburn and I was able to take her right back for a shot. We were in and out in 10-15 min maybe.

Even though daughter has met with him once before, I met him today absolutely loved him. Very attentive, saw both of my girls (4y.o and 2w) at same time, took care of both of their needs, and sent us away with a smile.
