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. Welch is a very kind, caring, compassionate physician. He diagnosed my cancer and I was treated with chemo and radiation. At the follow-up, Dr. Welch determined it was successful.

I asked Dr..Welch a personal question about my condition and how I should navigate when interacting with a close friend. He was very comforting and diplomatic in responding.

Very nice and very informative, especially in comparison to a Cleveland Clinic virtual appointment I had with one of their cholorectal surgeons that yawned and looked bored and annoyed through the entire appointment.

Dr. Welch did an emergency appendectomy on me. I had never met him before but he was very nice to me and my family during this time. I would definitely recommend him to others.
