Dr. Welch is an outstanding doctor who listens to her patients' needs and helps to figure out the best course of medical treatment for each of our family members. She is a very patient and caring doctor to us and our little ones. Her office team is exceptional. It's nice to finally have a great doctor that has a whole-body approach to treatment.
