Many patients benefit from her help with gastrointestinal issues such as irritable bowel syndrome and bloating.
Swift, knowledgable and considerate approach to my concern.
An all-round excellent experience. A very empathic doctor who really listened to what I was telling her. She seemed knowledgeable and is not leaving a stone unturned. Very impressive, and I highly recommend her.
Dr Walsh is very proactive in her approach. She immediately included other Health care professionals that she felt may be able to assist me with my initial concern. I appreciated this treatment pathway. It's allowed me to tackle the problem more holistically. And it's been good to learn from those other medical professionals too.
It was my first consultation with Alissa and she was very affiable and professional. She made the consultation pleasurable, yet efficient. My wife commented that she thought Alissa was extremely professional.
Dr Walsh was very personable, understanding and easy to get on with. I was led around to where I needed to go or someone always came to me so there was never any uncertainty
Dr Walsh is an excellent and very caring doctor. She is always willing to give an explanation to what ever is happening to you. I highly recommend her.
Dr Walsh is really lovely and calming, which immediately put me at ease. Her approach is professional and thorough but in a caring way. There was good communication throughout the appointment. And I was happy about further treatment options and assessments that have been suggested. Above all, I feel comfortable and confident under her care. Thank you
Dr Walsh genuinely listens, takes the time to explain things clearly and treats you with compassion. She repeatedly goes above and beyond and is exceptionally attentive. Crohn’s is complicated and gnarly, I am so sad that my child has to go on this journey, but am utterly relieved that she has someone like Dr Walsh to guide her and oversee her care. Dr Walsh’s knowledge of Crohn’s and her clinical judgment are exemplary, and she provides the highest standard of care. Can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an exceptional gastroenterologist for Crohn’s.
