Patient Reviews
Jul 12, 2023
Dr. Welk is one of the most caring and professional doctor I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. The most important thing you want in any doctor is that they are a perfectionist. I felt every step of the way that Dr. Welk cared 110% that he do the very best he could for me; it showed every time I met with him pre-op AND post op. I’m extremely happy with my results and how Dr. Welk cared about the outcome. I would recommend him to everyone who wants the best plastic surgeon in WA.
