Walker Ortho

Our Family to Your Family

For over 60 years our family has served families of Northeast Alabama, with offices in Anniston and Gadsden. Dr. Joby Walker (1927-2013) was the first full-time, university-trained orthodontist in our area. Now his sons, Dr. Jay Walker and Dr. Carl Walker, carry on his legacy of patient-centric orthodontic care. We value the relationships that develop as we strive to deliver the best orthodontic treatment possible. It is an honor to now treat the grandchildren of Dr. Joby Walker’s early patients.

I became a resident of John Croyle’s Big Oak boys ranch in the mid 1980s. In 1990, I met Dr Jay for my first appointment to have braces put on for an early phase of treatment – my teeth were in really bad shape! Later I had full braces to complete the treatment. Dr Jay always stayed on me about taking care of my teeth and braces because I was a little rough on them, but I knew he cared about me as a person, and we developed a bond. In high school I would frequently go to his house or office and help do yard work. He was a very important role model to me during this time of my life, and a very impressive father figure. After graduating from high school, I joined the military, moved away, and had a family. I moved back to Gadsden 13 years later and needed some minor aligning since I had been without retainers for quite a while. Now my teeth are perfect because of the work Dr Jay has done over the years. Dr Jay is still a father figure in my life. He still takes care of me like he did when I was a child. I couldn’t more pleased to have Dr Jay in my life as a friend and as a role model. Thanks, Dr Jay, for all that you have done and will continue to do.

Your office is so awsome.
