Kenneth Welker
"My first impression of Dr. Welker was that he is a kind, caring and understanding physician and person. Over time, my respect and admiration for him has only grown. His personality, bedside manner and (most importantly) skill as a surgeon are not matched by any physician I've ever met. His office staff is very professional, but also very personable. Nearly everyone that works for him has had a weight loss surgery, so there is a great deal that they can help the patient with as well. I have had a problem or two with the scheduling aspect of the office, but they have always been courteous and helpful about getting it taken care of. I have yet to find (and don't anticipate that I will find) anything that I do not like and respect about Dr. Welker. Future patients should know that he is a fantastic surgeon, physician and person. Dr. Welker is very concerned about aftercare, even having his patients write a short "essay" about his or her commitment to following up with him on bloodwork, etc. over the years to follow. Dr. Welker thoroughly addressed all of the risks of surgery with myself and my support person prior to surgery. I felt well-informed about all of the possibilities going into my surgery. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most wonderful and trustworthy person in whose hands I would ever put my life, I would rate Dr. Welker at least a 12. I consider myself blessed to have found Dr. Welker. His surgical competence and proficiency continue to amaze and impress me. His bedside manner is a breath of fresh air. Even when he is overwhelmingly busy in the office (for example, the hospital double-booked him for several follow-up appointments yesterday when I was there), he is fully focused on me when he is with me. He always addresses my concerns and answers my questions to my satisfaction. He truly cares for each and every one of his patients!"
