Dr. Walston saw me as a drop-in for a cough that had been worsening over 3 wks. He knew my medical history, was very attentive, thoughtful, kind and responsive. I felt that he listened to me and provided excellent care. He also discussed follow-up and said that if I had worsening symptoms or didn't improve that I should contact his team the next week. (this was near xmas so not sure my regular doctor would be in). I greatly appreciated the visit and care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Walston to others.

Dr. Walston is my new internist. I've seen him once in person and was surprised that when I needed to see him for pre-op reasons, he only had telemed appointments available.
