About Dr. Walker

Clinical Biography

David D. Walker, M.D., is an otologist/neurotologist specializing in disorders of the middle and inner ear and treating hearing loss, including cochlear implantation.

Walker is an assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery in the UAMS College of Medicine.

Neurotologists have specialized training in treating hearing loss, dizziness and tumors of the ear, in addition to their training for general ear, nose and throat conditions. They offer medical and surgical treatments for ear conditions and work closely with audiologists in their management.

Walker completed fellowship training in otology, neurotology and skull base surgery at Michigan Ear Institute, Farmington Hills, Michigan. This training also covered neurological ear conditions and the complicated surgical procedures for tumors close to the base of the skull. His specialized training includes the treatment of superior semicircular canal dehiscence, encepholoceles, cerebrospinal leaks and the management of lateral skull base tumors such as acoustic neuromas.

Walker completed his residency in otolaryngology — head and neck surgery and a general surgery internship at the University of Chicago.
