About

Dr. Walker specializes in general dentistry at our Total Health Dental Care Pill Hill Office in Oakland. Patients love Dr. Walker because of her compassion, expertise and warm demeanor. Dr. Walker graduated from the New York University College of Dentistry in 1982. Soon after she packed her bags and headed to California to begin her general practice and hospital Residency at Loma Linda University. During this times, Dr. Walker split her time between the two coasts. She was an associate at a pediatric dental office in New York until 1998. Back in Oakland, Dr. Walker started her own dental practice in 1995. She entrusted her practice to Total Health Dental Care in 2018 and joined our team. At Total Health Dental Care Dr. Walker serves patients with compassion focuses on their overall wellbeing. Besides providing excellent comprehensive care to Oakland residents, Dr. Walker is an active member in serving her community and empowering women with Soroptimist International Club of Oakland. When not in the office, she enjoys spending time with her two children.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I believe that my patients deserve the best dentistry possible and that patient experience is key to my success as a doctor. I’m dedicated to making sure each of my patients feels relaxed, comfortable and confident in the treatment. To that goal, I enjoy explaining each diagnosis and encourage my patients to ask any questions they may have. I also strive to empower my patients with the knowledge to take control of their health. I focus on prevention and use nutrition as a tool to help patients overcome long-term dental issues such as gum disease, loss of teeth and cavities. I love people and seek to develop lasting professional relationships with my patients.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

At Total Health, we do everything under one roof. Our team of specialists do everything from periodontal treatments to oral surgery, orthodontic and implants.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the excellent dentistry and exceptional experience we provide. Our patients rave about us on Yelp and Google. It’s fulfilling to see a new patient come in with some level of anxiety and leave feeling 100% comfortable with and confident in the cleaning or treatment. Our patients leave feeling good about themselves. They leave smiling.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

Since dentistry is a combination of science and art, every case is fulfilling. I really love helping people. It’s an incredible feeling to see a patient smile with confidence and genuine happiness after an office visit.
