I fractured my right shoulder in November, 2018. Dr. Walsh was my surgeon at Edward. He incorrectly plated my shoulder so that my right arm turns slightly inward. I can't lift it above my mid-ribs, and can't put my arm behind my back. He tried to tell me "I wasn't working hard enough in physical therapy" when I asked him what was wrong. I consulted with Dr. Mara at Northwestern, who pointed out the crooked insertion of my surgical hardware. When I took my physical therapist with me to a follow up appointment with Dr. Walsh, ... read more

Dr. Walsh replaced my hip, knee and both shoulders and performed an arthroscopic surgery on a knee. The surgeries and recoveries went way better than I ever expected. He gave me the time I needed with any questions or inquiries. If I ever needed another joint replacement, I would schedule it with him today without hesitation. I have recommended him to a few of my friends. Their joint replacements were also very successful!

I know Dr. Walsh retired but he gave me a new hip in 2014. He did such a wonderful job that I forget I had it done. Unfortunately, I fell down the garage steps trying to carry a lot of groceries in. I am totally OK but I have a Hematoma the size of a soft-ball. Good Luck to you, and it was my pleasure. You'll love being retired! I am!

I asked my PCP to recommend an Orthopedic surgeon. He responded Kevin Walsh. I needed surgery to re-attach my left quadricep to my patella. During my first visit, I asked Dr. Walsh how many similiar surgeries he had performed. "Thousands," he said. The day of the surgery I was transported by a volunteer by wheelchair to the pre-surgical suite. She asked, "Who's your doctor?" I said "Kevin Walsh." "He's my doctor," the 86 year old volunteer responded. He replaced both of my hips and one knee, she said, as she danced a little ... read more

Dr Walsh was my surgeon for both knee replacements. He provided excellent care and explained the procedures in depth. His follow-up care was outstanding. I highly recommend Dr Walsh.

I had broken my leg in the fall of 2019. It was an extensive break and I had to be transported to Edwards Hospital so Dr. Walsh could do the surgery. The first hospital said they were not confident in doing it. Dr. Walsh did a great job. He was very nice to me and answered any questions I had at each visit. I needed paperwork to get reimbursed from my insurance, and he complied. I would definitely recommend him .

I'm confused, 4 years ago I had a right shoulder rotator cuff tear, in 2 places. Dr. Walsh did a wonderful job. Never had any sour personality at anytime. He was wonderful and informative. Recently tore my left rotator cuff at work. Extreme pain, My MRI was as bad as the 1st time, He was the 1st person I thought of. They are scheduling my surgery as I write this. Once again at my appointment he was pleasant and made me feel confident about what was to come.. A lot of pain but a repair well done. I would recommend him for any... read more

I first went to Dr. Walsh several years ago and he did a great job with both my knees for a torn miniscus. Prior to going I had read a lot of negative reviews and had actually called my doctor to refer someone else. He told me that he could but Dr. Walsh had been doing this a long time and was the best choice. So I went and at the beginning I did not find him to be very warm and friendly. But I soon found out that I was mistaken and that once I made an effort to engage in more dialogue with him- he was great!He did a great j... read more
