I have had Dr Walend as my primary care physician for about 16 years. Even when she had a full load of patients, she always made me feel like she had all the time in the world to share with me.
I find her warm and personable. She talks about her family, and I see that she is a loving, attentive mom. We have talked about our parents, and she lets me know how her parents are doing on the East Coast. In this, I feel like she is a friend as well as my doctor.
I value and appreciate her approach to medicine. I feel she is current on new treatments, and aggressive where needed, and conservative as needed. Thankfully, I have no real health issues, and hope to stay that way. But knowing Dr Walend is on my team is a great comfort to me. Also, I travel for a living, and knowing that by being a member of MDVIP, I will have the best medical care provided if I ever need it while out on the road. It will feel as if Dr Walend is there with me.
Honestly, I had to take some time to consider keeping her as my doctor when I learned the cost of MDVIP. But because of the above reasons, and because of the person she is, I couldn't imagine finding another doctor who I trusted and LIKED as much as her.
With that, I know as I get older, the aches and pains are setting in. I hope I never have any large health issues, but I feel I am in good hands in case this happens. In the meantime, the website offers endless tips and education on having a healthier life. The exercise programs, menus, lifestyle suggestions are all there for the taking.
I look forward to Dr Walend to being my doctor for life.
Thank you, Dr W!!

It's so helpful to be able to text Dr Walend anytime about help I need with any medical issues. It's also wonderful that my husband also has chosen her for his Dr so I can work with her to help him enjoy his years. He's 85+ and she has been wonderful for us. When he had Covid, she responded late on a Sunday night and he was better in a few days. With his AFib, that was a blessing.

I am incredibly grateful to have Dr. Walend as my primary care physician. From my very first visit, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. Walend takes the time to listen closely to my concerns and always takes the time to answer all my questions.
I love her thoroughness in examinations and commitment to my health. Dr. Walend is the one who first discovered that my prostate cancer had returned and worked out all the details to help me be accepted into Mayo Clinic’s oncology treatment program.
Furthermore, Dr. Walend, on a Sunday afternoon, compassionately facilitated my admittance into a Behavioral Health Care facility.
Dr. Walend’s personal, caring approach
makes me feel valued as a patient. Her office staff is always friendly and efficient and more than willing to go the extra mile.
Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Walend to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate healthcare provider!

It is a blessing to be one of her patients and I am very thankful to have her as my Doctor! Thank you- Carol R.

Dr. Walend is a fabulous doctor. She is great at listening to your concerns. She is very attentive to her patients. She is knowledgeable and caring. My daughter loves that she can just text her if she needs something and she gets right back to her. Her assistant Suzy is the best, she is very helpful when you need something right away. They are a great team.

Dr Walend is the best physician I have ever had. She really listens to me. Then she presents several ways that my issues can be addressed. We discuss the pros and cons of any suggested treatment plan. And she has been persistent in solving an issue with my lungs. When she had exhausted her own expertise and consulted with doctors in her network, she didn’t hesitate to send me to Mayo Clinic. I found answers there and she was diligent in reviewing their findings and their treatment plan. We now have that experience and knowledge to refer to whenever I experience similar symptoms, resulting in treatment that is effective. She responds to all of my messages in a timely manner. She really cares about her patients and considers them friends. Her staff is carefully chosen so that her standard of care is carried out through them as well. She deserves the MVP at MDVIP!

Dr Walend became my primary physician just recently. In the small amount of time she has gained my confidence in her treatment assessment. She is patient and understanding with an uncanny ability to draw out information that she needs in a conversational way. Her answers to questions are thoughtful and on target.

Dr. Walend has been my primary care physician for many years. She is an excellent and knowledgeable physician, but what really sets her apart is her willingness to listen and discuss what is going on with me - for her, it's very much a two-way communication process. I've never felt she was rushing to get out of the exam room to the next patient. Highly recommend.

We have been patients of Dr. Walend for many years and have always appreciated her patience, care, and follow-up. This year my husband is facing a significant health crisis, and Dr. Walend first identified the issue, referred him to an oncologist, and is following up with labs and emotional support for us. We are so fortunate to have her in our corner, and will always be grateful for her thoughtfulness and expertise!

Dr. Walend and her staff are wonderful. Dr. Walend has been my GP for 18 years and has seen me through several health concerns. She spends time to understand all aspects of the symptoms and to explore the best treatment plan. She and her staff follow-up to make sure treatment plans are working and to intervene with Plan B if they are not. I credit my great health to the care of Dr. Walend and her team.

I went for a second opinion and got a bill because they refused to process the billing correctly. Their office billing people, receptionist, and office managers were absolutely as cold as ice! Dr. Walend didn't seem to have a clue about how to fix my situation, but they promised they would help. FORGET IT. Don't bother. I find their words insincere, and void of any compenent to provide some relief for my appointment. Go somewhere else

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Walend and about being in her care. She has been my physician for almost 25 yrs and I did not hesitate to to follow her in the transition to MDVIP. She is compassionate and thoughtful in dealing with all my health concerns. Being able to reach her via email or text if needed is a bonus and she responds as quickly as possible. As I get older and new issues have arisen I am vey glad to know I have Dr Walend in my corner.

I waited three months to get into Dr. Walend's practice. It was worth the wait. She gives me the time I need to discuss issues, lab reports and symptoms. I called her once at 9pm to get information about my symptoms. She told me what to buy over the counter to get relief and kept me out of the ER. I have used this after hour service twice and find it very reassuring to have a doctor explain what is happening and how to handle it. She calms my anxiety. She has been very thorough with my yearly exam as well as monthly appointments. I like it when she tells me I am healthy and need to continue managing my health. Dr. Walend is a good partner in my healthcare. I highly recommend her and have referred friends.
