Walden Healthcare Testimonials

Gary
“We are very happy with Dr Steed and his staff. He has given us the comfort of knowing we are not alone in the fight to help in keeping our disabled son safe and healthy. Knowing we can call on him and his staff at any time of the day or night. If you’re looking for the old school kind of doctor that went into this profession from his heart and not just for the money, Walden Direct Care is the way to go.”

“Dr. Steed is a special doctor. I have had the pleasure of being both a patient and a shadowing student of Dr. Steed at Walden DPC. From both of these perspectives, I have seen that Dr. Steed is a man who cares deeply about his patients and who would do anything to ensure that his patients receive exceptional care. Additionally, Walden DPC is staffed by an exceptional team. This staff is friendly, caring, and professional. Benefitting from this team, Dr. Steed runs a very efficient practice.”
