Dr. Welch-Charles is amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable and nice. SHe has a sunny personality, but that pales in comparison to her expertise and help. The PT floor therapy she prescribed was a game changer.

Dr. Welch-Charles has such a wonderful presence and ability to be empathetic towards concerns. I was terrified to the point my body was shaking, and while I'm sure she was frustrated with the extra time it created in my appointment, Dr. Welch-Charles sat down and walked me through every option. While I was still scared, the simple act of being heard helped put me at ease, and coupled with the education and communication during the procedure, I got through it. I'm really grateful for her time, her openness to hearing me, and for not feeling judged.
