“We are committed to caring for patients here in Saline County and the surrounding communities,” Walsh said. “Our goal is to get you into the clinic quickly, so that you do not have to wait for orthopedic care.”
Walsh grew up here in Central Arkansas and attended medical school and completed his orthopedic residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. He has served as a past chair of the advisory board for Saline Memorial Hospital, where he has been performing orthopedic surgery for more than 16 years while working at Arkansas Bone and Joint.
Johnson worked alongside Walsh at Arkansas Bone and Joint prior to opening the new clinic and has performed about 3,400 surgeries at Saline Memorial Hospital.
