About Me
I have been a practicing family physician and serving my patients for more than 30 years.I believe in shared decision making so that patients are engaged in their health care.
I love family medicine because it allows me to have a long-term doctor/patient relationship with a variety of individuals with different ages, different diseases and different perspectives and experiences.
I enjoy the people that I work with and the fact that we look forward to making things better for our patients.
What I enjoy about The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is that we’re an integrated healthcare system, where all records are in the same place with computer access from any of our sites. This allows doctors to view a patient’s records and communicate electronically, which supports patient engagement.

Doctor is caring and so knowledgable. She cares for people and relates in personal but profesional was. We travel across town - because we moved - to have her continue our care. She is helping to keep us active and healthy as we age. Always a pleasant trip when we see her for our health care. Doctors - really all people - could learn alot from the way she treats and respects people.

Dr. Welker is the doctor I've wanted all my adult years - 48+. She looks me in the eye. She takes her time & answers ALL my questions. I very much like to understand my body & any issues I might have. She NEVER makes me feel rushed or that she is in a hurry. She's always there, no matter how big or small my issues are. I appreciate everything about her. My overall health has IMPROVED a GREAT DEAL since becoming a patient of Dr. Welker. I feel blessed to have found her.

Dr. Welker is terrific. I have been going to her for years. I come with a list of questions and she goes down the list and we discuss. She tells me what I need to do, what shots I need and listens to me. I always feel that I can contact her if I need some advice on medical questiongs.
