Dr.Walker was amazing. She really made me feel cared for and did what was best for my shape and size. After surgery her team was there for me steadily and answered any questions or concerns I had. She called me the night of surgery and the day after making sure things were going okay for me and that really made feel like she cares about her patients! The healing process has been super easy.

From the consultation, to surgery day, to my follow ups, everything has been amazing. I had the easiest recovery ever, I was making a cake the next day. Dr. Walker never made me feel self conscious about my concerns.

Meeting Dr. Walker for the first time I knew that I wanted her to do my surgery! She was so down to earth & she was very confident. Fast forward 2 weeks after surgery I did develop a hematoma. Through this whole experience she's been so reassuring. I remember she held my hand till I fell asleep before my procedure. I was very emotional about the 2nd surgery not being hardly a month from my first one. She's been wonderful. Through this all. I've sent in weekly updates. She's viewed them with nurses. They give me feedback almost instantly! Just an amazing group. I'm thankful for this team. Cause it's been a difficult road the last 8 weeks. I'm waiting patiently on my final results, but we are getting there.

My results were exactly what I wanted. Medicine was ready before surgery. Everything was set up nicely. I had my in person post op and then the rest on the phone which was good because I'm out of state. Dr. Walker delivered the exact results I showed her - 380cc Motiva rounds that are round, small gap, and decently large. I prepared for her to tell me I was going too big since I'm only 4'11 and everyone kept saying I'd look top heavy, but she never discouraged me and I don't look top heavy either. I couldn't be happier.

About Jessica Walker, MD
Growing up and Early Career
My hometown of St. Clairsville is a small, rural town in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Ohio. When I was a child, my mom had me take sewing classes. Once I had the basics down, my grandmother taught me crochet, and pretty soon I taught myself how to quilt…and got pretty good at it! It was always expected that, as the daughter of an attorney, I would follow in my dad’s footsteps and pursue a career in law. I liked science, and wanted to look into what was available. After my freshman year in college, I spent time with my hometown general surgeon, and knew I had found my calling! I found a profession where I could use my hands, my mind, and my creativity to help people.
How did I end up in Knoxville?
I met my now husband Dr Josh Walker, a local dentist, while I was completing my Plastic Surgery fellowship in Louisville. I knew from the second date I'd marry him. He was born and raised in Kingston, TN and when he brought me here for the first time I absolutely fell in love with East Tennessee and when deciding where we would end up it was a no brainer. We like to live rural, but enjoy the ease to be in the city within 30 minutes. And Crockett, our German Shepherd, loves the ability to be outside year round.
I chose a career in surgery planning to be a heart surgeon. During my 5-year general residency in Detroit, I had the chance to work with the plastic surgeons in our hospital. After that month with them, my career plans totally changed. I loved everything that went into plastic surgery - the planning, the delicate operations…all of it. And - best of all - when you finished, both you and your patient could look and see how things had changed!
The main population I work with here in Knoxville are moms. Going through fertility treatments, I have learned the changes your body goes through and how difficult it can be on your body to become a mom. Being able to help other moms make changes to improve their self-confidence, their strength and rebuild what was changed during pregnancy and childbirth is the most rewarding aspect of everything that I do.
Being a female surgeon for (mainly) female patients has made my dedication to my career even stronger. Less than 20% of Plastic Surgeons are female, and I think this is truly a benefit to me as I understand a lot of what my patients have gone through, what their concerns are and what their goals are.
I love building relationships with my patients and finding things we have in common to bond over. Yes I'm a surgeon, but I'm also a fun, relatable, "normal" person who is getting on through life like everyone else. I'd love to meet you, be able to help you if I'm the right choice for you, and bond hopefully over German Shepherds, Pittsburgh sports, college football and crafting, and having fun on social media!
