Five stars (and would give more if possible) for Dr. Welcome. So blessed to have him as my eye doctor. He and his staff are the best.

A rating of 5 stars is not enough to express the caring, empathic, respectful, personable, gentle, kind, pleasant demeanor of Dr. Welcome. Since my first service with him nearly 12 years ago, he has consistently portrayed the following traits currently: knowledgeable, patient, positive, accountable, and accurate with my diagnosis. He performed successful surgery on my eye 10 years ago and I have not had any side effects or complications. I have felt nothing less than a patient whom he feels is important enough for him to invest in the best care for my eyes. I feel nothing but confident and completely blessed to have him as the doctor who cares for my eyes. I trust him because he has earned it through his excellent service! I rate Dr. Brian Welcome 10 stars instead of 5!

Doctor Welcome has been treating my mother for several years. The last months I have had the pleasure of assisting her in her appointments. She cannot hear well (understatement), and cannot get around / walk easily. He sees her as a person and talks to her and tries his best to make sure she understands ... instead of the normal treatment she gets (being ignored). : ( I know this must be exhausting for him but he does it anyway! His empathy of me dealing with work and sick mother. There are really not enough words to say how much I have appreciated him.

I love that Dr. Welcome explains all the details and all the options fully. He did my cataract surgery and monitors my glaucoma. My cataract surgery had potential complications because of my long-standing glaucoma, but has been trouble-free. I'm not sure many other doctors could have handled it as well. Dr. Welcome is also friendly and easy to talk to. And he is not irritated by my sense of humor.
