Provider Reviews

I have been in pain for ten years, Dr. Crawford took all that away. Gave me the use of my legs back. FIVE DIAMONDS!!!

Bob Huffman Mar 25 2023

Review for Dr. Crawford

I have recommended Dr.Welch to friends and family. He always listens carefully to my questions and concerns. He provides great information and excellent advice for treatment. The partial knee replacement he did for me in 2021 has been amazing. I have run a 60 mile Ultra on it with no issues at all.

Stephen Jackson Mar 24 2023

Review for Dr. Welch

Dr Welch was very professional. He explained everything so that it was easily understood. Would highly recommend him to anyone who needs orthopedic surgery.
