Patient Reviews
Nov 09, 2024
Dr. Welch, took his time explaining the risks, his concerns removing two discs from someone in their early 30's. But in the end left the decision up to me. When the time came he took his time clearing all of the old scar tissue, the degenerated disc and then locked it all down. From 18 - 35 I was plagued with constant back pain, sciatic pain, and twice herniated discs. for the last 20 years i have not had any of that.when i went in for my follow up, the doctor was upset. he had a remarkable story of having to have an airliner land to save a person he stepped up to care for on his flight home. when he got to the office a colleague was on the front page of the newspaper for bringing in a severed for his child's show and tell. Thank you Dr. Welch
