Very knowledgeable of my needs . Patient with me and involving me and my wife in this new field.
Dr. Welt was knowledgeable and took the time to explain prior test results and future steps. That was very much appreciated.
She was nice but I didn't feel very confident with her
She is where good at her work.
Dr Welt was professional, explained my medical 'problems' in plain speak and answered all of my questions. She was also exceptionally responsive in following up with my test results and next steps.
Dr. Welt was extremely thorough during my visit. She was kind and detailed and took plenty of time to listen to my concerns and put together a plan I felt comfortable with.
I was very impressed with her
Thank you Dr Welt for professional care with a personal touch. I felt seen and cared for.
We love Dr Welt
This Dr was caring, she listened to my concerns & responded with compassion & genuine care. She addressed all my questions & educated me with her responses. She made sure I didn't leave there with any unanswered questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through any of the things I'm dealing with which are a lot.
She is soft spoken. So knowledgeable in endocrine. Willing to understand individual special needs and concerns. Even concerned for blood draws and her patient's comfort.
Great doctor
Dr Welt is thorough and attentive.
Consistently professional and personable to work with. Takes time to explain any medical matters in depth.
Dr. Welt is very good and I feel she really cares about my health and future.
Was a great experience and seemed very knowledgeable With Doctor Welt
Dr. Welt is great. I have my second appointment with her and 3months since we last spoke she remembered details about me like what I'm studying.
Dr. Welt took the time to research my case, talk and listen to me as well exam me. Definitely gave it her best. Thank you
I enjoy my annual vist with Dr. Welt. She is knowledgeable, polite, and concerned.
Dr. Welt has an amazing wealth of experience.
Dr. Welt was very good. She listened to everything I had to say. I feel she really cares. She explained everything very good in a way I understand.
She was very thorough and knowledgeable and didnt rush but took her time explaining everything.
We appreciated her ability to hear our concerns and understand the issue we are trying to figure out. She was kind and supportive.
I appreciated the amount of time Dr Welt spent with me. As a patient it is very challenging to have an untreated, rare diagnosis which has health implications across multiple disciplines. The providers who treat the diagnosis are aware of its far reaching health implications; but the individual departments where there is cross over don't seem to have the most up to date information; understandably so. I am hopeful that Dr Welt will agree to keep me on as a patient to proactively help manage symptoms until such time as I am able to complete treatment. It would be fantastic if there were a concerted effort to include a provider in the endocrinology department as part of the treatment team for vascular compressions:Nutcracker Syndrome, SMAS, PVI, and May Thurner as there seems to be significant overlap with endocrine disruption and the abdominal vascular compression diagnoses. If nothing else involvement with this Dept could drastically improve the prognosis for women's health
Dr Welt was very kind and compassionate as well as knowledgeable and provided clear explanations
I left with more questions than answers, and not really feeling like I want to go back.
Happy good thanks
Very good
I received excellent care and action for my concerns.
Dr. Welt is excellent.
Dr. Welt was absolutely fabulous
