Dr. Walker says that growing up, he didn’t really know what he wanted to do for a job. Because of his love of the outdoors and nature, he majored in microbiology in college, but dentistry wasn’t really on his radar until his older brother was accepted into dental school. His older brother encouraged him to consider a dental career because Dr. Walker always liked working with his hands and building things, and while visiting his brother, Dr. Walker realized that he was right. He considers himself to be very lucky because he doesn’t know how he would have found his way to dentistry otherwise!

Ryan A Walker Dental

WHERE DID YOU STUDY DENTISTRY?

Dr. Walker attended Nicholls State University before earning his DDS degree from the LSU School of Dentistry. Since then, he has gone on to complete Levels I, II, and III of the Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education (FACE) program. He has also received extensive training through a comprehensive dental implant residency. Dr. Walker is certified to provide nitrous oxide and oral sedation through DOCS (Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation).

Dr. Walker continues to stay on top of the latest advancements in dentistry through his memberships in the American Dental Association and Louisiana Dental Association.

Dr. Walker and his wife, Michelle, have three sons, and his parents and four siblings all live within a mile of each other here in Houma. There are 15 grandchildren in total, and everyone usually gets together at someone’s house for dinner at least once a week. When Dr. Walker isn’t enjoying family time, he likes to go hunting and fishing, and he has also been a beekeeper for the last five years.

As one who is terrified of dentistry, I have to say that Doctor Ryan Walker is the only Dentist who has my vote and confidence. I had a tooth extracted today and it was of course not pleasurable,but was not painful. His bedside manner was above approach. He explained everything before doing anything and made sure i understood. I will be returning to him for my future dentist needs.

Dr Ryan Walker and his team are terrific!I have been seeing him since 2015 as I did business in Houma. My latest visit was Tuesday , February 7, 2023 I live in Dallas Texas, I have still have business here in the New Orleans area and I always schedule my appointments with him around my visits. Always makes time for me and treats me like family. If you are in Houma, within Terrebonne Parish,or surrounding towns, I would highly recommend Dr Ryan andHis Team as your primary dental care facility. Thank YouJon

I love the staff, they do an exceptional job at calming my anxieties and making me comfortable. Dr. Walker is great and genuinely cares about his patients and their experience. He gets the job done pain free. All interactions with the staff members were pleasant. The office runs smoothly from scheduling the appt, reminders, short waiting time, easy pay options. The building has a relaxing vibe and good overall aesthetic appeal. I would definitely recommend his services. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Walker and his staff are fantastic! I believe they go above and beyond in everything they do. They are friendly, kind, and compassionate. I had major work done in my mouth and they made sure that I never was in a lot of pain. They would call after each visit to make sure that I was OK and didn’t need anything,. I like the way, Dr. Walker shook my hand before and after each visit. And the staff is just fantastic! I couldn’t ask for a better Dentist. Like everyone else says they are top notch.

On of the kindest, compassionate dentist offices I’ve ever been to. Extremely welcoming and warm, even at the very end of what appeared to be a long day for the clinic. Wait time was maybe 15 min. I was in out out in 1 hour! Staff is very kind and office is very clean. 10/10 would recommended for all your dental needs!!

I love going to Dr.Ryan he have patience and he takes his time. He explains what's he doing before he does the work to your teeth and his assistant is awesome the receptionist is very friendly she always ask if you want a bottle of water most dentists don’t just have a seat lol . When you are there you don't wait long like some dentist you go to. I love not having to wait I would recommend you go see Dr. Ryan walker off of Vail High.

Dr. Walker and staff are simply the best; Old school touch of class with current technology and skill.Dr. Walker’s personal phone call with patients the night of any procedure gets me every time. Yes that’s right, a personal phone call from him to make sure everything’s OK!Folks, if you are in the Houma/Thibodaux or nearby area and in need of a family dentist, look no further. If I could give 10 stars I’d give 20!

Ryan Walker and his staff are top notch. They take hospitality to a whole new level. When I walked into the office on my first visit, Ms. Eva welcomed me with genuine politeness. Dr. Walker and his staff get to know you and listen to your concerns and requests and set you up with a plan. They even have blankets for when you are cold! :) They are thorough with their exams and definitely the best cleaning I’ve had at a dentist office. They set the standards high for any other doctors office around!

I don't normally post reviews, but every once in a while I come across a person or company that goes above and beyond for their customers or patients. Having been in some form of customer service for more than 35 years, I am quite conscious of it wherever I do business. And in a lot of places customer satisfaction is sorely lacking. Happily, that is not the case with Dr. Walker and his staff. They are top notch when it comes to making sure their patients feel comfortable and cared for. I have been a patient of his for at least 15 years and I have always been happy with the quality of care that I have received. Dr. Walker is down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable, very professional, and cares a great deal about his patients. Marion and Eva are absolutely delightful as well. I do not hesitate to recommend them if you are looking for quality dental care and friendly, caring people.

I was referred to Ryan Walker DDS by a friend for a few extractions. I was nervous due to the nature of the procedure and this being a new office. On my first appointment I was taken away by the staff and their KIND, PATIENT and INFORMATIVE demeanor. I was so nervous and full of questions but everyone was beyond patient and understanding. The physical office is spotless and it was the shortest wait time I’ve ever experienced. Ryan Walker DDS was extremely friendly, and took his time to alleviate my anxiety. I’ve only ever experienced this type of care once before. He didn’t rush me out or dismiss my questions. The actual extractions were painless, and perfectly executed. I was given clear instructions and supplies following the procedure. The healing process was quick and I am grateful. I’ve heard so many horror stories, but it could not have gone any smoother with Ryan Walker DDS. I highly highly recommend.

I have a real hard time with work being done on my back teeth. The crown Dr Ryan Walker did for me today was the easiest time I have ever had getting a tooth crowned. It was a replacement for one that failed and I still remember having it done the first time with a different dentist which was why I was a little anxious going in. I can't express how much better things went today with Ryan. Many Thanks to you and your staff. Feeling great.
