Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Babu Welch Is A Lifesaver!
Nine Years ago Dr. Welch saved my life! He is a wonderful Neurosurgeon at UTSW in Dallas, Texas. I recommend him highly! He is compassionate and very dedicated. I trust him completely and would recommend everyone to him! He corrected a misdiagnosis I had for many years. I would recommend all my friends and family to him.

Review of Dr. Babu Welch From A Satisfied Patient. – Nov 19, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Welch?
Dr. Welch is truly the best Dr. I've ever interacted with. He is personable and extremely gifted at translating complicated information and making it understandable for non Dr's. He fights for his patients in ways many Dr's wouldn't. He truly cares and wants the best for his patients and their families. He treated my husband through over a year battle with a vascular disease and 7.5 months in a coma. So I got to know him well and know he worked tirelessly to do everything possible for my husband, including getting his national peers' input to make sure there wasn't anything else he could do. The team approach he and UT Southwestern use also greatly impacts the patients care for the better. I can't say enough good about Dr. Welch. We are so grateful for all he did to fight for my husband! I highly recommend Dr. Welch!

I found him not to be a good listener to know the patients past history nor communication what the future would hold. I found out right before the surgery that he was going to do the surgery and I met him for the first time after the surgery. It has been 2 months after the surgery and my loved one is worse off then before the surgery.

I was referred to Dr. Welch because I had an unruptured brain aneurysm. He spent almost 2 hours with us during the initial consultation discussing all options. I decided to go with clipping the aneurysm with a craniotomy. The surgery went well, Zale Lipshy and staff of the neurology department were top notch, and Dr. Welch's caring bedside manner, along with his experience and knowledge were the reasons that I would recommend him and Zale Lipshy Hospital to anyone with brain issues.
