Our Founder
Dr. Christopher Walker is a humanitarian, a humanitarian and nationally recognized urogynecologist and regenerative medicine specialist. He earned his medical degree from the University of the West Indies and practiced family medicine in Jamaica. After moving to the United States, he completed the training and requirements to become a licensed doctor in the country. Dr. Walker studied family medicine at The University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, and concluded his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
During his training, Dr. Walker was taught by world-renowned professors, such as pelvic reconstruction surgeon Dr. Kermit Krantz and Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, a renowned infertility specialist and researcher. Developing a broader perspective in medicine, he enhanced his surgical skills as a participant in the Midwest laparoscopic training laboratory over two years. This skill set improved his proficiency as a robotic surgeon after fulfilling post-graduate surgical training at the Nicholson Center.
Following his passion and appreciation for beauty and aesthetics, Dr. Walker trained as a cosmetic surgeon in 2008 and joined the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. He is also a member of the International Society of Cosmetogynecology (ISCG), the American Society of Cosmetic Physicians, and an Associate Fellow of the American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery.
With recent breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, Dr. Walker remains knowledgeable and well-versed in the latest medical technologies and is a member of the American Academy of Regenerative Medicine. He also offers the only FDA-approved procedure for regenerative medicine. Incorporating his training in regenerative medicine with his urogynecology practice has improved outcomes for many patients suffering from chronic conditions like vulvar dystrophy, pudendal neuralgia, stress urinary incontinence, and fecal incontinence.
