Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I visited Dr. Welton some years back as he was my therapist for a long time. He was a caring and concerned therapist. Now that I have cancer, I want say I’d highly recommend Dr, Welton. Back then I can see where his help, helped me in my situation as it is now.

Today's session was combative and he talked down to me. I have had health and life issues the past 2 years that are unbearable and today he completely shattered my trus. I had scheduled my appointment because I have been having trouble sleeping again. My medication had lasted me almost 9 months. He was furious that I had not been in to see him and I explained that I had been in the hospital twice, a death in the family and I had surgery on both knees. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone.

No rating could be LOW enough! Dr. Welton is rude and talks down to his patients. I had heard that he has a very bad temper, but took a chance on him anyway due to needing an appointment. I should have listened to the word of mouth comments from others. I witnessed firsthand his anger issues and his unprofessional behavior. Now, I realize how little he did during the sessions. All he did was write prescriptions instead of trying to figure out what type of meds/dosages.were needed.

I've been seeing Doctor Welton since I was 16. I'm now 26. He's always been patient but firm when need be (like with my rebellious teenager phase, or my past alcoholism issues). I trust him completely.

I feel that Dr.Welton did not get to know me. He was concerned, but I did not appreciate note taking. I would like to have had telephone consultation when I really needed it. He needs to interact more with his patients. I don't know that I would recommend him.
