I visited Welch Ob/Gyn when I moved to the area and needed to find a new doctor. While Dr. Welch seemed outgoing and friendly, he was very condescending when I mentioned my desire to stop taking hormonal birth control in favor of a combination of barrier methods and FAM (my insurance had changed and I could no longer afford the pill I was on previously). As I was walking out of the office, he said, ""See you in six months when you're pregnant!"" He also did no bloodwork despite the fact that I have a history of low thyroid function. It has been well over a year since that visit, and I have not been back (nor have I gotten pregnant). I will be looking for a new Ob/Gyn over the next few months as I prepare to TTC. I would not recommend this doctor.
