About Dr. Walker
Like many of my fellow Kaiser physicians, I knew I wanted to be a doctor at a very young age. I was five-years-old when I reasoned with my parents that I wanted to help people. There was no light-bulb moment, then or now, I simply love seeing people healthy, happy, and strong. As an OB/GYN, I am passionate about educating women and girls about their bodies. Also, there is nothing more joyful than helping to bring a new life into the world.
