About
At The Gold Standard Health in Desoto, TX, Dr. Kelsey Walker delivers direct primary care on her own terms. She founded the practice in early 2024 after years in outpatient family medicine. The name came from a longtime patient who called her "the gold standard" at every visit.
Dr. Walker integrates Lifestyle Medicine into every aspect of primary care. She treats adults and children for a wide range of conditions, from hypertension and diabetes to metabolic syndrome and anxiety. The practice goes beyond primary care, offering advanced aesthetic services, medical weight loss, SECA body composition analysis, and IV hydration. Members receive same-day or next-day appointments and direct access to Dr. Walker seven days a week. Appointments run 30 to 90 minutes, giving patients real time with their physician.
