Stephen C Walker, MD

I am the first to admit that I am hell on earth for a doctor! I am not a fan at all, so when I had to find an OBGYN for my pregnancy and Dr Walker accepted me, I don;t think he really knew what he was getting into!
However, he is amazing! He put up with all of my sass and demands and gave as good as he got — which I needed, I needed someone to out me in my place and now two weeks after my beautiful baby is born, I find myself missing going to his office and seeing him! He is such a great guy and his staff are wonderful.
Walking into the office, the first thing you will get is a smile and a welcome :)
Dr Walker changed my entire perspective of medical professionals and I feel very bad for the next OBGYN I use (my husband is military so we move a lot) becuase he will have some enormous shoes to fill!
I didn’t just get a good OBGYN, I got friends! I love his office staff and him — I have a feeling I will stay in touch with them for a very long time to come and to me, that is the best review :)
Dr Walker is in my opinion, the best OBGYN in Monterey County and if you are searching for a doctor, beg for him! I was so blessed to have him deliver my baby, he is professional, knowledgeable and personable. He has a matter of fact demeanor at first, but push through it — I promise it’ll be worth it :)

Absolutely the best OB I have ever seen. I highly recommend him for his expertise, bedside manner and knowledge. His staff is wonderful too and gets anything administrative done super fast. Couldn’t have been any happier with the care I’ve received!

As a military family who was having their first child far from home, it was a relief to have such an amazing OB! Dr. Walker was extremely professional, knowledgable, and arguably my favorite doctor I’ve ever had. As an over analyzer and a type A pregnant woman, it was refreshing to be able to ask all of my questions and be met with honest answers and excellent guidance, and with a sense of humor that was much needed during a tough three trimesters! His office staff and nurse Mary were also incredible, and really looked out for us during the whole pregnancy! I would recommend his practice to anyone, as would all of my military family friends who have been patients there. We only wish we could move him with us to the next Navy city!

I have seen Dr Walker since I found out I was pregnant with my first child at 8 weeks. He sat down with me and my husband for about 30 minutes our first visit and let us ask all our initial questions. Everytime we have an appointment we never feel rushed or like we are asking something stupid. He always explains everything he does and is so down to earth! I have been seeing him for 5 months now and my husband and I both love him!

I came to Dr. Walker’s office from an ER referral. Found out I have lots of fibroids and a little endometriosis. The whole experience from the day I first visit him up to the post op check up had me regretting why I came to him in the first place. Everything is just so rushed and I feel like he didn’t really care about my concerns. Didn’t pay attention on what I was really feeling. Had two surgeries done a week ago and he told me I can go back to work two days after. Well he was wrong. I had the worst 3 days of my life after the surgeries and couldn’t even get up and walk by myself. My mom had to help me go to the bathroom. I was just in miserable pain and was very nauseous and fatigued. I went to see him today, 6 days after the surgery and asked him to extend my sick leave because I’m obviously not feeling better. He basically raised his eyebrow and ask me to still come to work in two days, when I already told him I don’t feel comfortable going back to work yet and wanted to take an extra week off, he just looked at me like he didn’t believe me and kept saying I should be better by now. Hello? I wouldn’t ask to be taken off work if I already felt recovered. He acted like I’m making it all up. I know my body more than anyone else and everyone heals differently, so I insisted on taking another week off. I felt like I had to beg him for that until he finally agreed. One more thing, during my post op check up I had a note where all my questions and concerns are written, but guess what? He didn’t listen to any of it. In fact he didn’t even give me a chance to ask and kept cutting me off. I went home feeling worse instead. I’ve met with him four times and those four times I told and convinced myself maybe he’s just having an off day or something. But nope. I’ve never encountered such unsympathetic doctor ever in my life. That’s just my experience though. I will definitely find a new gynecologist who will listen to me and take their time with me, not rush me, dismiss me and doubt me. At least the lady at the front desk with a blonde hair is nice.

Dr Walker is the best! Super caring and spends plenty of time with you when you need it. I love his easy going nature when things are going well but he’s very kind and serious when there is a problem. He doesn’t sugar coat things — which I love. He’s very upfront about what is going on. He delivered my 4^th child and I wish he could have delivered the first three. He was far more attentive than any of my other doctors. If your baby is breach and you need someone to perform a version, he’s your man. I had heard how painful they could be, but Dr. Walker is so good at it — it took him less than 30 seconds and it wasn’t even uncomfortable. But please be prepared to wait for your appointment — he’s the only doctor in the office so he gets backed up if he has someone in labor or with a serious problem. Its well worth it though, because its nice to know that you have his full attention when you’re in labor.

Dr Walker delivered both of my children. Our first we were planning a home birth, but ended up in the hospital due to an extremely long labor. Dr Walker was on call, and ended up delivering my son. He was never pushy, and allowed us to have the birth experience we wanted. My husband even got to catch our son. We had such a good experience with him that when i found out i was pregnant again we went straight to Dr walker. He was great for the prenatal appointments, always took as much time as needed to answer my questions. Wait times can sometimes be really long, but if you get their first appointment after lunch they are punctual. I was worried about my second baby’s head circumference because my first had hydrocephalus, so he did extra ultrasounds towards the end to assure me that she was normal. Overall he was thorough, compassionate, has a good bedside manor, and is completely supportive of natural birth.

Dr. Walker provided excellent care during a very difficult pregnancy (25 weeks of severe hyperemesis gravidarum). He was happy to see me for a pregnancy planning appointment, as I had a history of the illness and wanted to be prepared with a doctor before trying to conceive. He listened to my concerns and was very thorough. Wait times in his office were also reasonable: only once did we ever have to wait more than 15 minutes or so, despite having frequent appointments.

I’ve been seeing Doc Walker for more than 10 years, including a difficult pregnancy. He is knowledgable, kind, gentle (and anyone who has had a pap knows this is a dealbreaker) and thorough. I could type all day and still couldn’t say enough about him and his staff, Mary and Joy. They all treat you like family and truly care about you, body and spirit..

I chose Dr. Walker for the prenatal care of our third child. He came highly recommended from many friends. I must say, his personality isn’t for everyone. He’s a bit more crass than the other two doctors I’ve had and wait times can be an hour or more. BUT… he was AMAZING during labor and delivery. If you want a no nonsense get the job done and quit screwing around kind of doc, this is your guy. He was so encouraging but firm and didn’t let me stop when I thought I was done. Because of it, I had substantially less postpartum issues and only had to push 2 times. You’ll want to punch him while you’re in the thick of it and hug him when it’s all said and done. Ha!

I couldn’t have asked for a better Ob! He delievered my first son 5 years ago, and he will be delivering my 2^nd! We are so blessed to have found Dr walker! His staff is great so friendly Joy always knows who I am when on the phone! Mary is great as well she doesnt mess around! I love that I dont feel rushed when I’m in the room with Dr walker I dont mind waiting in the waiting room even when he is FAR behind I know he takes his time with all of his patients!

I started seeing Dr. Walker when I moved here and I was 4 months pregnant.
I had a great experience with him and I loved how well he explained everything to me. He was was very caring and even performed my 20 week ultrasound himself.
Office is clean and comfortable. They are very professional with exams
I had a great delivery experience with him as well! I will definitely be using him again when I have my next baby!
My only complaint would be the wait time for appointments. Can be as long as 45 minutes waiting in the room.

Great doctor and AMAZING staff!!!
Dr. Walker is so gentle and kind. He really makes you feel at ease and comfortable. On our first visit he took my husband and I into his office for a consult to chat about our problems with infertility. After eight moths or so he was finally able to help us conceive! He has been amazing throughout the entire pregnancy. I would (and do) recommend him to anyone I talk to.

So far so good. I’ve been seeing Dr. Walker from right when I found out I was pregnant (5weeks). I think so far he is a great doctor, he tells you how it is, he answers all the questions I have, never have we ever been rushed in his doctors office. Dr Walker staff is as well friendly and helpful with my questions. They try to accommodate our appointments to our schedule. The office is nice and doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I will have to update on how he is on the labor side, but all of my friends that have delivered babies with him said that he is great and would only go back to him for there next child.
** Update on the delivery took awhile!
Well if I had Dr. Walker and a labor as good as this one I would consider having another child! I was really scared when I came to the hospital at 3:30 because they told me Dr. Walker wasn’t on call and they would have to call someone else, I was like what??? he’s not on call so he doesn’t deliver my baby??? Well the Dr. on call I guess called him and he said he would come in. So he came to the hospital around 7:15ish (with his hair messed up lol) just in time to deliver my baby girl who was born at 7:25. When he was done he joked saying that was fast and now he had time to grab breakfast! Lol I like humor’s Drs. He came back to check up on me (maybe more than once) and even took a picture with us.
overall I enjoyed the 10 months or more seeing Dr. walker and I will continue seeing him for the rest of the time I am here. If I could stay longer to have another child with him I would defiantly would!
