"Dr. Welker agreed to see me on a day he normally does not have clinic. It was obvious from the first moment that he is a totally dedicated, caring, competent physician.
He handles all of his own administrative work - works 18 - 20 hours a day.
Vibrant, quick, fast-talking - answered every single question with a detailed explanation that I had no trouble understanding.
Has a structured aftercare program, including recommendations for diet and supplements, quarterly blood work and follow-up appointments.
I have a great deal of confidence in him.
Post-op: Dr. Welker is very concerned and involved with his WLS patients. I am so glad I chose him. I feel very comfortable emailing him with any question - he always responds very quickly. I don't know of ANY other surgeon who does that. What a guy! "
