Eric Walker D

Kind and comforting office with Dr Walker being a caring individual. Highly rate this Dental practice.

Great care and great service at Walker Dental. They always seem to go above and beyond every time you go in. Friendly greetings, exceptional treatment when it comes to your dental needs, knowledgeable regarding your dental history. Many people dread the dentist appointment. You would not have that experience here.

Warm, welcoming, extremely competent staff all around! First time visit for me, so glad I chose this dentist!

Dr. Walker is expert, caring, technically superb, gentle, interpersonally conversational and relaxing, and explains well. The office and procedure rooms are high-tech, pandemic-safe, give a feeling of total confidence. Gina at the business/reception desk is a total pro at optimizing for the patient re: insurance coverage, scheduling, questions and contact. Outstanding.

Love my hygienist Erin! They always do a great job and are very well organized and professional.

Efficient and extremely friendly technician! Going to the dentist at Walker Dental is always a most pleasant experience!

The folks at Walker Dental are great. I worked nearby when I started going to their office years ago. Now I work and live 45 minutes away, but I wouldn't consider switching to a different practice.

Having been recommended Walker Dental by the very good dental service, which I had been using for many years and closed during covid, I was impressed by the quality of service at Walker Dental. Marissa, the hygienist, had carefully reviewed my records from the previous service and provided a very thorough, skilled and comfortable cleaning. Her assessment of my dental status was consistent with the previous service and this was confirmed by Dr. Eric Walker, who briefly examined my teeth. Gina, at the front desk, was very friendly and helpful regarding insurance coverage. I am happy to continue to use Walker Dental for my future dental care.

I came here for a second opinion. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the process. Dr. Walker was very personable and explained everything he was seeing to me. Saved me from multiple unnecessary fillings. I will be coming back here for my next check up.

For most of my life as a young adult, I had a fear of "the dentist", as the result of bad experiences that I had as a child. I'm so happy to have Marissa (and Dr Walker) taking care of my dental work, and actually look forward to my visits now! The entire staff at Walker Dental go above and beyond to ensure safety requirements and comfort needs are met during this unique and challenging time.

Exceptional dentistry. Walker was by far one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. They are up with current tools and approaches are friendly and highly skilled.

Had a filling break after moving to Cambridge. They got me in very quickly and fixed the problem. Ended up having to get the whole procedure redone because a cavity was what caused the filling to come loose. I've never had a dentist be so meticulous when doing a filling. He took his time and really made sure everything was perfect before sending my on my way.

I was a patient at Walker Dental for 2 1/2 years and had a great experience my entire time under Dr. Walker and Erin's care. When I first started seeing Dr. Walker, I had concerns about one of my front teeth as it had lowered a bit post braces. Dr Walker did a great job with assessing the situation, taking x-rays and reviewing my history. I did see an endodontist per his recommendation and he confirmed what Dr. Walker suggested for course of treatment. Dr. Walker's bedside manner was amazing too, listening carefully to my questions and any concerns, formulating a treatment plan we were both happy about. In addition, Erin is an amazing hygienist. Very thorough, careful and insanely funny.

I had been going to Aspen Dental because of the convenience of multiple locations, it was my second or third time going for a cleaning and they told me that I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed as one of the wisdom teeth was impacting one of my back molars. They said that once the wisdom teeth were removed, they would need to perform a root canal on the molar that's being impacted.

All in all this was going to cost thousands of dollars and they kept talking about how at my last appointment they had told me to get my wisdom teeth removed and now its my fault that I waited too long. It just seemed like they were more interested in taking my money then they were about my teeth, the fact that they said they'd need to perform a root canal on a tooth they couldn't even fully see yet because of the wisdom tooth being there seemed a little crazy, like they were jumping the gun.

I was really overwhelmed and wanted a second opinion so I reached out to the dentist I went to as a child back in Maine to see if he had any recommendations for local dentists. He suggested Dr. Walker and said that another one of this former patients from my area who use to see him had moved to Boston and was going to Dr. Walker and really liked him.

So I took the advice and went to Dr. Walker, he ended up telling me that I do need to get my wisdom teeth removed, but definitely agreed that it was way too early to tell if he'd need to perform a root canal on the one tooth being impacted, and that he would wait until the wisdom teeth were removed to fully examine the impacted molar to make a decision.

I got the wisdom teeth removed and then last month went back to Dr. Walker to have him observe the impacted molar, and he ended up saying that the tooth is fine since I have no pain and we don't need to do anything with it except give it an annual x-ray once a year to monitor it. I was so happy, it was like a full circle moment, the reason I switched dentists was to get a second opinion on this from someone who is genuinely interested in your well being and not just taking money from you bank account. I would recommend Dr. Walker to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.

I received what sounded like a reasonable quote based on their service cost and their review of my insurance coverage. Later I get a bill for double the amount I was quoted because apparently the office charged that much much more than maximum coverable charge by Delta Dental. No mention was made of this--and it can't be the first time this has happened.

I feel cheated and will not be returning. It has also been a struggle to get someone to answer the phone in the afternoon during posted business hours even an hour before closing.

I've had very good experiences here. When I first moved to Cambridge, I went another dentist who took a bunch of x-rays and tried to tell me I needed a night guard and to have 5 cavities filled. I was skeptical, so I looked at reviews and asked around and decided to try Dr. Walker instead. Sure enough, the other dentist was trying to get as much money out of me as possible and most of what they said was untrue. Dr. Walker's staff is great. They're very good at scheduling and the hygienists I've had have been very friendly. I highly recommend them.

The best Dental practice I have ever been to! Always on time, great scheduling, Marisa my hygienist great and Dr. Walker is always pleasant. From what I can tell it is a more conservative practice that will not push anything unnecessary on you. Even though I have moved out of from Harvard Square, I continue to go here.

Dr. walker is great! He does a great job. I have a had a few emergencies and he had shown up on a Saturday to take care of my teeth. The staff is great and super nice. Highly recommend Dr. walker!

Dr. Walker and his entire staff are wonderful! Erin and Kate, the hygienists, are excellent, very thorough and gentle at the same time. Because I haven't had cavities or other dental issues, my interactions with Dr. Walker are minimal, but he has worked on my husband's teeth a number of times, including fillings and a crown. The crown was only partially covered by our dental insurance, and the office very kindly offered to set up a payment plan for us. I highly recommend Dr. Walker!

I was recommended a procedure that was non needed to extract the most of my insurance. After a second opinion it was clear that the "deep cleaning" was not needed at all. As a result, my insurance (a premium dental insurance, not a cheap one) did not allow the reimbursement. This is a common trick from dentist to charge 1000$ for a cleaning and 1 filling. The secretary wrote back to me saying the following: "do you even understand what we are trying to do here". This caused a 1 month delay in a very simple procedure.

I LOVE Dr. Walker. He has done an amazing implant for me, corrected crowns, and I don't even dread going to the dentist. Gina the receptionist is also the BEST.

While the dental work is fine (much like any other dentist) the billing and insurance process is frustrating to say the least. I specifically asked if x-rays and the cleaning was covered because my insurance had changed and was assured it was 100%. I was still with Delta Dental (like my previous checkups) so I figured it was fine. A month later I was sent a bill that totaled more than my premiums for the insurance for the past year. Turns out my Walker dental was not covered and because of that I as paying the vast majority of the $200+ bill for a routine checkup. If you're not sure if someone is covered don't assure them it is only to charge them later. I know there are cheaper options nearby and I plan to find them.

This is the WORST dentist I have ever been to in my life! Dr. Walker was extremely unprofessional and careless in how he treated my teeth and mouth. When doing a filling, he let the drill fall against my tongue, and then blamed me for it! He said: "You put your tongue in your tooth. You shouldn't do that." (I had my tongue nowhere near the tooth) It was still hurting me, and he saw my expression so he said, "it's not even bleeding." He was extremely careless about how he sprayed water in my mouth; it got all over the sides of my face.

He seemed to just shove the various equipment and tubes into and out of my mouth, completely carelessly. He seemed in a hurry, always saying "we're almost done, " in a way that seemed he just wanted to get this over with. If you love your teeth (remember you only get one pair!) definitely DO NOT GO TO DR. WALKER!

I've now been in three times, and can honestly say he's the best dentist I've ever had. Not only does he handle my phobia really well, he handled my horrible bite (and ensuing difficulties fitting a crown) with tremendous care (both in terms of the health of my mouth and in terms of how emotional I get about my teeth). His receptionist also deserves massive credit too, she's really sweet and accommodating.

Dr. Walker used to be my dentist and I thought he was awesome. The only reason I switched dentists was because I have some health issues that make it a little risky to undergo procedures requiring anesthesia, so I had to find a dentist in a hospital/medical office in case I ran into any problems. My dumbass health aside, Dr. Walker is great. The office is charming and clean, there is an LCD television hovering over the dentist's chair so you can trying to distract yourself with whatever is on, and I adore his receptionist, who was always very friendly, affable, funny, and just all around awesome. Plus they were always good about fitting me in for an emergency appointment. He has great bedside/chairside manner, and kept my teeth clean and happy for years.
