Walker is an outstanding doctor and a wonderful, caring person. His medical knowledge is impressive and he explains things in great detail. He always has time to listen to his patients. Walker is the best doctor I have ever had.

I really like and respect Dr. Nowell. I am currently in treatment for Acute Leukemia and am also a registered nurse. As you can imagine I have seen a lot of doctors over the last two years. I changed my PCP to Dr Nowell because my previous PCP does not admit to the particular hospital I prefer. A friend recommended Dr Nowell. I am sooooooo glad. I have had several visits with him at this point and each visit I felt he really cared about my medical issues and also wanted to keep abreast of my chemotherapy treatments. He and my onocologist have had execelent communication. My quality of life has improved thanks to some medication changes and adjustments Dr Nowell made. THANK YOU DR. NOWELL. My husband has also changed to Dr Nowell. He is currently running test to diagnose and treat a symptom my husband has had for 3 years...Dr. Nowell is the first MD to take his complaints seriously. I would recommend Dr Nowell to anyone! He knows his stuff!

Was concerned of getting a " just a Doctor ".Was very impressed with him. Makes you feel like he is part of you r life and will do all to make sure you are well taken care of. He helped point out things and tests that need to be checked that no other Doctor had ever cared to look into.I thank the Lord for leading me to this Doctor.

I have a lot of health issues and been to a # of doctors. It is very hard to find one that treats you like a respectful person and listens . You are just not another account # to this doctor. He is very smart and a great bedside manner. He reminds me of how doctors used to be. He wants to correct you problem instead of just treat it and cover it up for repeats visits. I would ref this doctor to anyone. I feel blessed to have found a doctor who is still a reg joe..

I have quit going to Dr Nowell.He acts knowledgeable,but as time went on,he is revealed.Over time,Ifound many instances he was completely wrong(per specialists).Ifound he would be excellent in a clinic(colds,flu).He always seemed rushed and on time limit.Also I could never get get him to call in prescriptions in a timely manner-I would have to call several times.

This doctor is one of the few that actually takes time to listen to your concerns. He does not interrupt me or discount my concerns. I am a nurse and I know how important this skill is in order to accurately diagnose and care for a patient. That is just one of the many reasons I chose him as my doctor.

Walker is one of the few Dr.s left out there that still treat thier patients like patient and not a number that is on the AR report. I have gone to Walker for everything from common colds to heart issues and have always gotten the same caring attention every time. It is sometimes a bit hard to get in to see him, but this is simply a testiment to his sucess. I recently moved to TX from TN and was concerned about finding a new physician in the area - Dr. Nowell not only did a search for me in the area of acquaintences, but assured me that in the interim, I could still call him with any needs I might have until I found a new Dr. I will truly miss him!!!

We feel very lucky to have such a caring Doctor! When he walks into the room the first thing out of is mouth is "how are you, what's going on" and then you get a handshake. There truly are no "stupid" questions when it comes to Dr. Nowell. He has always taken time with us when we have needed it. He stays right on top of new technology. He also has no problem with sending you to a specialist for a second opinion. Thanks Dr. W. for all your help! We really wish more Doctors were like you.
