I enjoy getting to know my patients and understanding their dental needs and goals so that I can create a treatment plan that is tailored to their personal health and aesthetics.

When I’m not at the clinic, you can find me outside, running, hiking, relaxing, and occasionally fishing or camping. I’ve run a half marathon and intend to do more. In my down time, I enjoy podcasts, stand-up comedy, and listening to music.

So wonderful to finally have a good dentist who takes a conservative approach. He explained future care I might need and shaved a bit off a tooth that was catching. With that little bit of intervention he improved my bite considerably. Johnson was a very good dentist so I'm sure it wasn't easy to reset Edinburgh clinic, but it seems to finally be there. I'm glad I waited it out and have Already recommended other family members do the same. I hope this dentist stays.

Please please tell Dr Wallich that he is awesome! Life changing dental work for our son. He was so hesitant to get this work done but Dr. W was encouraging and helped him get this completed

As a routine visit there was no need for any significant interaction with the Dentist. He frankly seemed rushed and/or disinterested.

He was very thorough and efficient. He knew what I wanted done and what my reservations were. I have extreme dentist anxiety and he made sure I was relaxed and informed.

Having recently moved to Hugo, this was my first time at this office and with this doctor. Even though there were no dental issues, he spent more time in the room, and was more thorough and engaging than most dentists I've been going to.

There were no issues but he was kind and asked if I had any questions or concerns.

Dentist and assistant barely spoke to each other. This was the second appointment for a two step procedure. I would have felt less pain and they would have been less frustrated with each other if they would have communicated better.

As the paren, the dentist did not talk to me at all or mention if the exam was good or bad. All information came later from the hygienist.

As a first time patient, I had an overwhelming list of work to be done. I needed a better explanation of what needed to be done 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. I did receive a printout grouping my treatments, but not a priority list.

He wasn't personable at all and seemed very rushed and uninterested. It was strange to see the dentist before the hygienist cleaned my teeth. I've been to multiple dentists and never had it done this way. They usually inspect my teeth a lot more and he only looked at them for maybe a minute.

Dr. Walek was very professional, knowledgable, kind, and considerate of my comfort level. I actually did not feel the nerve block injection. I am happy with the two fillings he did. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. My whole experience at Park Dental was great!

The hygienist was outstanding with her bedside manor. For someone with any type of dental anxiety, Dr. Wallek is not an appropriate provider to be seen with. He made me feel scolded for not scheduling wisdom tooth extraction and was very rough during the exam. He also kept saying different things to the assistant but did not circle back to me with what they meant. He was very unpersonal and again, not a good option for someone with any degree of dental fear.

The thoroughness of the exam and treatment is state of the art. I'm so impressed with the technology you guys use and so happy to be having my teeth cared for so in depth.
