Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Welch has been the best Dr. for my husband and me for his Lupus and my RA. She saved his life and has been the best on my RA. She is more of a best friend now to both of us. Happy retirement ?????? I will miss you very much????

I miss Dr. Welch. I saw Dr. Welch for around 10 years before we moved to Nevada. I assumed all doctors would be like Dr. Welch. Boy was I wrong. Dr. Welch cared very much about my pain and my struggles. The staff are all wonderful as well. I'm getting ready to try my third rheumatologist in three years. Well, in February. They can't get me in till then. My case was extremely frustrating for myself and Dr. Welch. She never gave up. I would certainly recommend her to anyone!

Not happy with the front office. I have called like 2 months ago to get this appointment and they told me to download the forms and also they supposed to send the forms in the mail. Nothing came in the mail and nobody called as a reminder. Today she refused me as I don't have forms with me and now next appointment with Dr. Kathryn Welch is in 05/2017. So I have to wait for another 2 months. I won't recommend anyone to this clinic. Worst service I have ever had. Staff wasn't friendly at all.
