Dr. Kearnan Welch, DO

Dr Welch is truly one of a kind. He is knowledgeable, professional yet easy to converse with, compassionate and empathetic. The kind of person you would want to be your next door neighbor. I highly recommend Dr Welch!

Dr. Welch is not just a physician but a true gem in the medical community of Monterey.From the moment I walked into his office, I was greeted with professionalism and warmth. Dr. Welch possesses a rare combination of being friendly, thoughtful, and approachable. His genuine concern for his patients' well-being goes beyond what one might expect.What impressed me the most was his ability to make me feel comfortable and understood. He took the time to listen attentively, addressing my concerns with care and expertise. This level of personalized attention is truly commendable and sets him apart as an outstanding healthcare professional.

The very best. He is giving me testosterone treatments and I feel 100% better. The best you can get.

Dr Welch is my guardian Angel. I have been in and out of the hospital since September 20, 2021 with major health issues. Dr. Welch stepped in put together a team and I’m on the road to recovery and regaining back my life. He listens to what you have to say and will consult with endocrinologists in other areas of the country and state and put together a game plan to bring your Health back to where it should be. He has excellent bedside manners he is sincerely concerned about his patients welfare and health and listens to his patients. I have recommended him to numerous friends as they were so impressed with his patient care. If you’re looking for an endocrinologist he is the doctor you want to work with he is knowledgeable and you will see results.

Dr. Welch is by far the most competent endocrinologist I've ever visited. This is from a patient who has a 20+ year history of diabetes. He always listens to everything I say, and allows me to participate in treatment decisions. He is encouraging, easy to talk to, always upbeat, and even remembers personal things his patients tell him, even after 3 months (like bringing up my daughter-in-law's pregnancy and caringly asked me how it was going). He is so very helpful and almost always answers MyChart questions himself rather than pass them off to staff. Very highly recommended!

Dr. Welch did not seem to understand the impact of thyroid hormone replacement on thyroglobulin levels. This is a very big problem for someone with thyroid cancer. He also became defensive and despondent when I questioned whose responsibility it was to educate me on my cancer level post op. My surgeon failed to share this information with me and I was simply curious as a cancer patient as to who was supposed to provide me with this critical information. Dr. Welch said it was an inappropriate question. Huh? Please follow my advice and run don't walk away from the UCD Davis Health System.

Dr. Welch is a great doctor! He has been my doctor for the past seven months and he’s treating me with TRT. He is very knowledgeable and very good listener and he always responded to my chart whenever I sent a message to him. He really cares about his patients. Whenever I have an appointment with him he took his time to listen and discuss my problems. I did not feel rushed. At the beginning of my treatment I was always frustrated because I did not know about my treatment. But he always answers my questions and provided me the right dosage of medicines. He helped me to feel better. He also help me with my insurance to cover my medicines. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

Dr. Welch was my resident physician in Ventura CA before he moved to further education at UC Davis. I miss him every month that I go to my doctor of @ 15 years. He listened and helped encourage me to be more proactive with my diabetes. I always felt that he was fully present with me and took the time needed to cover all issues. I wish he were back in my area, he would be my doctor still! I love my existing doctor but he is in teaching mode and I see a new resident every month and miss having someone who remembers my name let alone why I am there. I am considering if he can do telehealth with me.
