A Practice Built on Community and Care
Downtown Family Dentistry was founded by Dr. Matthew E. Walker, who was born and raised in Tahlequah and remains deeply connected to the community he serves. Since opening the practice in 2001, Dr. Walker has continued to advance his training in areas such as cosmetic reconstruction, dental implants, and laser gum surgery, always with a focus on patient comfort and excellent outcomes.
Dr. John P. Walker also brings years of dedicated experience, with advanced training in digital dentistry, oral pathology, and implant placement and restoration. Together, they lead a team that combines skill with a compassionate, family‑oriented approach.
Our team includes hygienists, dental assistants, and administrative staff who work together to make every visit smooth, efficient, and stress‑free. You’ll be greeted with a friendly smile and treated with respect, from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.
