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.

Best doctor
I’m writing another review because my first review inadvertently gave Dr. Welsh one star. If anyone deserves five stars it’s Dr. Welsh. Like I wrote before he’s very knowledgeable and informative. He has an excellent bedside manner, and is very considerate in the amount of time he devotes to each and every one of his patients. I think that’s important. Three generations of my family have called Dr. Welsh their doctor. I would recommend to anyone who is seeking a compassionate, kindhearted and knowledgeable doctor to choose Dr. Welsh as their primary care provider. The staff is also very friendly, kind and responsive to any requests you may have.

After forty years of dedication serving patients needs Dr. Welsh continues attending to his patients needs. There is no secret to his high quality of care. What makes him special and an outstanding Medical Doctor , is that he and his staff always endlessly makes themselves available . Even if it is a call to us in the evenings at our homes he always shows us just by that phone call that he personally cares for us . That conduct alone , is healing . He is an amazing Doctor.

Dr. William Welsh and staff and extremely efficient, organized, thorough, personable, and kind. I took my 86 year old dad for his first meeting with Dr. W and his concern for my dad was genuine. We didn't feel like we were on a conveyor belt being shuffled in and out. Without too much detail, it should be known that service and care of this caliber are rare (in my experience). {sigh of relief}

Without a doubt the best family Dr. around. I have been going to him for over 20 years and could not imagine going to A different doctor. He is very thorough spends all the time you need to answer your questions and makes you feel very comfortable. Don’t know what I will do when he retires but it would be hard to find a better doctor than him. The wait is well worth seeing him. He’s definitely the best.

Need more doctors in the area like him as this practice is so good everyone comes to try this office will want them as he can prove most of his reasons for treatment. I have been skeptical because of so many bad doctors in medical field these days. Feel this practice really try their best. These doctors are from the old school where the oath to help patients really mean something is my impression. Bad practices need to take lessons from these folks and improve services across the country.
