Dr. David Brent Welch, MD

I had consult with Dr. Welch once they took me to exam room I was in there for over two hours. I finally opened the door and ask what was taking so long and had they forgotten me which the had. Dr Welch came in shortly and was very quick and did not ask me enough questions to make me feel comfortable in him doing a colonoscopy on me.also I have a family member that was just diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer after going to Dr. Welch annually for a colonoscopy and also a friend that was also going annually and was told colonoscopy clear and no polyps 6 months later he went to another GI doctor and was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. I would never go back to this doctor and I hope you won't either.

I had a colonoscopy. The Dr. is very kind and spent time answering questions when I met him the morning of procedure. What I do not understand is that I have never had a procedure like this without FIRST meeting the Dr. I would have been more comfortable had I met him first, but it appears this is the direction our medical care is going in. Less personal touch in order to move as many patients through as possible.

Was very rude. He saw my husband at Franklin Woods Hospital. Did nothing to try and help him. Told him to follow up with his doctor in Greeneville. We had been sent to that hospital because they were suppose to have a team that would help us in the three areas that we needed. The other two groups helped us.
