National Medical Meetings
Peter F. Armstrong, M.D., FRCSC, FACS, FAAP - Director of Medical Affairs - Shriners Hospitals for Children
Shriners International Headquarters
I have known Walt for several years. I have listened to him speak many times. Any time Walt speaks, he makes sure that any material he uses is thoroughly researched to ensure accuracy. He is a man of incredible integrity who strives for excellence in all he does. This drive for excellence, however, never detracts from his commitment to his wife Barb and their two children, Scott and Kate. He is a gifted speaker who is genuine and speaks from his heart. He is able to attract and hold the attention of his audience because they can easily identify with him and what he is saying. Because they identify with him, they trust him to provide them with something very practical that will benefit each of them personally.

He is an excellent speaker with quality information and good rapport with his audience.

Parenting is a nerve-wracking and awesome responsibility!

His rapport with the parents allowed everyone to feel comfortable when asking questions, even on the stickiest topics. We left us with suggestions and creative solutions that were truly “doable!”

I have known Dr. Walt Larimore for many years now in many capacities.
- A trusted friend I could share anything with and feel his compassion;
- An associate on the Physician’s Resource Council at Focus on the Family;
- As television’s “Family Doctor” for many years;
- As author of some of my favorite books;
- As “Dr. Encyclopedia,” as his other physician friends call him, because he can probably quote you the last three research articles on almost any medical topic;
- As a brilliant, but compassionate and very funny speaker who you hate to see ever end his speech.
- As a lover of people who is loyal to God, country, family and friends.
Michael J. McLaughlin, M.Div. - Director of Community- Based Ministries - Western Regional Director
Christian Medical & Dental Associations
Dr. Walt Larimore engages an audience as few others today, holding everyone’s rapt attention, allowing no one to snooze, and should anyone go to sleep fighting gravity as their lids force their way south, they will wake in frustration asking their nearest peer what they missed. Dr. Walt Larimore really shines when fielding questions following his talks, as his breadth of research and experiences affords him a wealth of knowledge on a variety of topics, seeming far afield of his original talks.
John Crouch, M.D. - President and Executive Director
In His Image, International
Dr. Larimore is one of the most dynamic speakers that I know. I have heard him speak at numerous meetings, CMDA, national AAFP, and he has been our keynote speaker at our residency retreats repeatedly. He is very knowledgeable about a broad range of topics, great at engaging his audience, poignant with great take-home points, and just plain fun. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Walt Larimore not only ‘Knows His Stuff’ but he knows how to communicate it to others! Rare do you find a Doctor with ‘The Brains’, ‘The Bedside Manner’ and the ability to Communicate before an audience like you do with The Doc of Docs! Dr. Larimore is good – real good!
Arnie Ahnfeldt M.D. - President Spring Canyon Advisory Council
Member Board Association of Christian Conferences and Teaching Services
Dr Larimore has spoken twice to the family medical conference for the combined Christian Medical and Dental Association/Officers Christian Fellowship week-long retreat in Spring Canyon, Colorado. His deep love of the Lord and his friendly style of speaking put him at the top of Christian medical speakers that have participated in our conferences over the past 20 years. I would highly recommend him to speak to either Christian or non-Christian audiences. He has a superb grasp of his subject material and presents it in an organized and relational manner that puts his audience at ease.
Al Weir, M.D. - Director of Community Based Ministries
Christian Medical & Dental Associations
Few doctors have the abilty to communicate as clearly as Dr. Walt Larimore. Fewer still have Dr. Larimore’s fund of scientific knowledge coupled with a solid Biblical understanding of life. When Dr. Larimore speaks, it is from a foundation I respect and a clarity I can understand.

Dr. Larimore’s speaking was a motivating combination of humor, real-life experiences, and the reality of the sanctity of life. What an inspiration to prospective donors he was! Maybe that’s why our banquet giving broke our old record by $20,000!
Raul Reyes - President
Life Network
This was our best Gala because of the content of the evening’s program. I have three primary goals regarding our Galas – that God is honored, that it is entertaining, and that people walk away educated and with the opportunity to engage in our ministry. Walt was able to achieve all three of these goals in one presentation – and that was unbelievable! He told compelling, relevant stories in a humorous manner, and gave people a respectful yet compelling call to respond and become engaged. As a result, we had our most successful Gala ever! Chris and I have been putting on events for over 35 years. Walt’s was the most annointed, heart felt, engaging presentation I have ever heard. I will be singing his praises to all of my CPC friends.
Phil White - Board Chair
Life Network
Walt spoke at our 2006 annual fund raising banquet. He was the most meaningful Gala speaker I’ve ever heard! His stories are a cross between those of James Herriot and Garrison Keillor. Our attendees laughed and cried, but most of all, they were deeply moved.
Julie A. Parton, Ph.D. - Director, Pregnancy Resource Ministry
