5 /5 Carolyn Winter: Dr Walkes was in charge of the communicable disease program we had during the pandemic for our county. She is very sharp and appreciative of honesty from her patients. However, you probably won’t see her at your appointments. Her Nurse Practitioner Denise Culpepper is awesome and my new favorite primary care provider. She will listen to whatever you have to say and run any test either you or she thinks you need. She likes to do head to toe observations and exams. She will keep track of your schedule for must have labs, Pap smears, bone density, mammograms, vaccines and follow your symptoms even if you forget about them on your next visit. She allows you the curtesy to refuse any exam or vaccination and she has a phlebotomist who is great at listening to which vein you want your blood drawn from and is very good with difficult blood draws. If you have a hard time getting through to the clinic on the phone you can send a message through the portal on the home page for A+ Lifestyle or Dr Desmar Walkes.
