She was really nice. Liked her a lot, but she seems to rush a little during the exam, maybe because she was running behing.

very good
November 24, 2014Gunnar P.Verified patient
Everyone was very sweet and seemed to really care. I was not rushed and had all of my questions and concerns addressed! I felt like I was not in there very long at all before I was taken back and even less time before I was seen by the doctor. I was very pleased with my visit!
October 14, 2014Cierra C.Verified patient
We actually saw Gretel Foster-Boatwright and absolutely love her! She was our provider at a different facility and we were very sad when she left. I am so glad that we have found her again and, even though she is at a specialty facility, I know that my son is going to get the absolute best care!
December 8, 2014Stephanie R.Verified patient
I was treated with kindness, respect, and professional concern and care. All my questions were answered, and I look forward to my next appointment.

Alicia was great - taking all the vital info down. Mrs. G. did a thorough examination - very personable. My wife is looking forward to getting her annual exam next year.
December 29, 2014Ed C.Verified patient
This was my first visit, so any wait time is understandable (you must complete new patient paperwork).
The surroundings are very pleasant and the staff is courteous and professional.
Dr. Welch is excellent and provided a thorough exam, explained all existing concerns and options.
Overall, if you want the best, this is the medical practice you want.
November 7, 2014J N.Verified patient
Medicine for recent acne flair up requires doctor authorization because of my age (far from a teenager) for insurance to pay. Pharmacy is trying to clear with doctor who clears with insurance. I am to go back to pharmacy on Wednesday to see if insurance will pay. This decides whether I get second product or not. Did get main product today of Cloderm.

I have been going to her for a long time and as long as she has her practice, I don't plan on going any where else. Love her.

Dr. Welch was very thorough and she also listens to her patient's concerns offering personal, individualized care with best treatment advice. I travel 45 min to get to her office from where I live and I feel it's worth it. Highly recommend her! Very knowledgeable!

I was the first appt after lunch, and still waited over an hour to see the Dr. She was in and out with me in under 10 mins leaving a ton of questions unanswered and her asst having to figure out. Will never go back!

I went right in and Dr. Welch examined me from head to toe, she did try and get me to get something I didn't really need, She gave me some good advice on how to care for my skin. She will be my Dermatologist from here on out.

Everyone was nice and helpful. The only negative was the wait time. 45 min in waiting room and 15-20 min in room before I saw the doctor

My visit with Dr. Welch was wonderful. She was very thorough throughout the whole visit and found spots on my skin I did not even know were there. Dr. Welch really seems to care about the health and well-being for her patients, not just their skin. I will definitely be back!

Doctor took time with me and I felt like I was cared for. I was educated sun safety and gathered all the information I wanted while waiting for the doctor I enjoyed the Christian music.

Appointment went well. I have been with Dr. Welch for seven years and have no desire to go to anyone else. She has always been very thorough and conscientious with my skin issues (mainly skin cancers). Also she is a very kind and lovely person. I highly recommend her.
