Patient Reviews
Feb 21, 2024
Was able to get in within a couple of days. I have (almost) bone on bone one knee and baker cyst behind other. I went to get shots, one each knee, hoping this would solve my problem…dr. Welle was very professional upfront and direct… which I loved. First knee shot went pretty well second hurt… he felt this would give me some relief, but will not fix the problem… I left with a very honest explanation of my problem… with my options.
