My family and I have been going to White River Family Care for probably 20 years now. Dr. Welsh is an old-fashioned family care physician who provides excellent care, and includes the patient in decisions about their own care. His staff are always courteous, helpful, and discreet. We wish there were more physicians like Dr. Welsh, who are willing to put up with all the crap heaped on medical practitioners by misunderstanding, ungrateful patients and the government. This clinic is a rare gem.
