2* because he didn’t like my previous DX and ‘haven’t seen’ patients with rare disease have Xyzal symptoms - though they are documented and studied by those in the field He insisted on one DX and when another hospital needed verification for a procedure he and his staff denied the new DX. He has done nothing to date to treat the intense flare pain caused by autoimmune auto inflammatory arthritis I am required to see him one more time as my ARNP is still out of office. I do not look forward to this

Dr Kevin Welk is my Rheumatologist for more than one year now since i retired from the Navy. When i told him my joints pain history he already know what is wrong with my joints. He is a good listener and very knowledgeable. He is the only doctor who cured my Gout.

Dr. Welk is a wonderful Rheumatologist and I am fortunate he is a part of my care team. He is kind, caring, and takes time to understand that having an auto immune disease can be very discouraging a times. He listens while working with me to achieve the best treatment plan possible. I am a very thankful patient!!

Went to Dr Welk for the first time today. My appointment was a pleasure. He gave me straight answers and listened to my concerns while treating me like an old friend. I received a cortisone injection in the knee with zero pain. Thanks.

I have been a patient for the past 7 plus years and Dr. Welk has helped me navigate my disease of Psoriatic arthritis. We have had to change my medications due to medication reactions. He has been patient and helpful to continue finding the best treatment where I can have the maximum disease treatment.

Dr. Welk was friendly and and answered all my questions. He gave me options for treatment and time to consider my options. I chose injections. I was scared but the man Honestly didn't hurt me. Plus, he explained everything he was going to do and told me I could stop at any time. Really outstanding Dr.
