However, I believe the loss of anymore doctors from our community, particularly Dr. Walker will lower the quality and access of healthcare in Joplin. Due to Dr. Walker's expertise and training it would take at least two good ENT's to replace her. If that is even possible. Please reach a compromise so we do not loose such a excellent physician from a fine institution such as Freeman.

They named a building after Dr. Ball & shamelessly fired him. They managed to lose an entire Orthopedic staff & devastated an Anesthesia Dpt. Who’s next? Dr. Coy? More power to Dr. Walker for standing up for herself, her practice, her patients and their choices. She is a superb MD and we will see her anyway.

Have several kids that have needed her in the ER (swallowed things) Always helpful and reassuring.

I would hate for anyone not to have the option to have her as a doctor if they needed her services.

I'm sure a legal determination will be made very soon. Regardless of the legal decision I'm afraid Freeman Hospital, in the public eye, will be viewed as wrongfully dismissing a very well respected pediatric ENT physician who has touched countless lives in the four state area during her many years of practice. Freeman is a very good hospital but has made a very big mistake which should be reconsidered.

The mistake I see here is that Freeman loses on this case. They are losing a great doctor and people will go out-of-network to use Dr. Walker. Why would Freeman want to make the patient choose less care or is it that Freeman doesn't care about the patient? Money seems to be a driving force and GREED always turns UGLY!
