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.

I saw Dr. Welch for almost 15 years. He was easy to get into, was very personable, and would spend the appropriate amount of time diagnosing and explaining. The last time I saw him, the clinic’s billing’s person blocked me from seeing Dr. Welch until I paid an outstanding balance of less than $100.00. Never mind that I had always met my fiscal obligation for the past 14 years. This was just after Graves Gilbert took over the clinic, so I have always attributed that practice more with Graves Gilbert than with Dr. Welch. The year before I left his care, I received a mis-diagnosis that sent me down a wrong path and cost me 5 years. After 5 years, and many meds my issue was ultimately resolved by a quick laparoscopic procedure. Something, I feel Welch should have caught, but then again, no one is perfect. Otherwise, I always enjoyed seeing Dr. Welch.

He was my doctor for 14 years. But when I needed him the most. He turned me down because I didn't have 70.00 dollars to give him. He is about the $$$$$$$. He doesn't care enough for his patients. So sad!

Easy to talk to and appropriately frank. Wait times can be long and he favors medications over other options.
