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.

Great first visit, competent office staff, the doctor concurred with the emergency dept diagnosis to continue current treatment. Offered additional advise for home exercise to keep my injury from getting to tight. Perfect care with a warm and friendly demeanor. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality care.

Dr. Welker surgically repaired a broken bone in my foot. I think he is an excellent doctor and I was impressed with his staff as well. I hope I don't need his services again, but if I do, he will be my first choice. Sincerely, Hiram

Performed my Achilles surgery, constant denial when I experienced severe pain post op. Blamed anesthesiologist (nerve block), then recommended MRI on spine. I did the research myself which was then confirmed by 2nd opinion as damage to sural nerve and complex regional pain syndrome. Best long term results with early diagnosis, unfortunately Welker kept kicking the can down the road. I am now in constant pain. 34 and this may never go away. Please avoid this guy.

I've had two broken legs in the last two years. Never would I ever consider seeing any other doctor. He is personable, knowledgeable and extremely respectful.

He is interested in the entire person. If I came to an appointment in a down mode, he would always be compassionate and kind. On a medicate note, he is the other surgeon that I would ever have perform surgery on my feet again! Dr. Welker and the entire Advanced care staff are amazing and I will not go to another surgeon, unless of course I break something else an have to go to another doctor in the practice. A++++ in my book!!
