"I liked Dr. Welker from the very first visit. My impression hasn't changed but I have only had one face to face visit with him. His office staff were very nice.
In my phone conversation today with him he had a nice sense of humor. He called me at home and was willing to answer any questions I had.
I was very excited that it would be a few weeks to be scheduled for the surgery. He told me that I would need a pre-op appointment with him and his nurse would call me with the date of that appointment.
Dr. Welker addressed the risks of the surgery with me at my initial appointment.
I will have to respond to some of these questions after the surgery when I have more contact with Dr. Welker.
The day before surgery was to happen It was cancelled. Dr. Welker will no longer be doing surgeries in Portland.
OHSU Dr. Deveney has agreed to do the surgery. I haven't met him yet but am very thankful he is willing to do my surgery.
