I was looking for a very natural look. He did an amazing job!!! Nobody can even tell that my boos are done. I had no pain on recovery and the scars are so little you can’t even see them!

Dr.Welk is Incredible! There is simply no other way to put it. I had a breast reduction at the age of 17, the pain was unbearable and Dr. Welk promised he would change that. He performed a breast reduction 25 years ago on my mother and she is thrilled with the way she feels and looks to this day, which says a lot about his work. Not only did he change the way I physically felt but he eased my worries through the whole process. One of the things I worried about was not being able to breast feed which is a possibility with such surgery but his work is precise and comes with a lot of detail and I do not doubt I will be able to in the future, in fact my mother was able to breast feed after he did her breast reduction. It was an amazing experience having Dr. Welk as my surgeon and I highly recommend, he is an artist!

I want to thank Dr. Welk for giving me the confidence to make the decision to have my breast implants removed and for giving me a realistic and very accurate description of the end result! I am so happy and he was spot on with how my results would look. I had been to other Docs and they had been very uninspiring with their knowledge of the outcome or options available to me. I highly encourage anyone looking to have any type of breast surgery to make an appt. with Dr. Welk. He is an excellent choice for breast surgery and reconstruction!

Dr. Welk has an excellent reputation as one of the top surgeons in Seattle. If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are planning to do implant based reconstruction he is the go to guy and the one most often recommended by his peers. I'm saving you a bit of research because trust me, I've done it. Time and time again as I researched surgeons I was told by other doctors in the community as well as other women who had used him, "Dr. Welk is the man you want for implant based reconstruction." Along with "If it were my wife or daughter that needed surgery I would send them to Dr. Welk." That says a lot. While vacationing in Mexico I found a lump in my breast that would mark the end of the world as I've known it. Within weeks I was transformed from a free spirited adventurer, juggling my career, my teenagers, and some travel into a cancer patient with nothing but uncertainty and endless doctor's appointments consuming my life. Any of you newly diagnosed with breast cancer can relate to the ensuing shock, dread, stress and fear that accompany the words: it's cancer. Without warning you're faced with the task of making several life altering, daunting decisions, one of which includes whether or not to go through a lengthy reconstruction process if you are choosing bilateral or unilateral mastectomy as I did. This decision is fraught with many potential complications that are often significantly downplayed during consults by many surgeons. The surgeon you pick will determine not only the ultimate cosmetic outcome but also the various complications that can and very often do happen a long the way. Come prepared to consults having done your homework. Expect honest rather than sugar coated answers designed to distract you from the reality of what you will actually be facing. Accept now that this will be a process that will take place over many months. You will be spending more time with your plastic surgeon than any of your other doctors. Pick someone highly skilled that you both trust and like. I read a statistic once that said 85% of patients go with the first doctor recommended to them, no matter who the source of the recommendation. Don't be that person. Get at least 2 if not three consults and make sure Dr. Welk is one of them. While most of the surgeons I consulted with spent a mere 10-15 minutes with me discussing options and attempting to answer my long list of questions without cutting me off, Dr. Welk spent over an hour with me at my first consult and patiently answered every one of my many questions, all after a long day of surgery for him. That is dedication to your patient. I met with him at least one more time and also sent what he jokingly referred to as several "dissertation length" e mails with additional questions before deciding for sure he was the surgeon for me. Here is what I appreciate most about him: 1.) His skill and experience with reconstruction which spans more than 30 years. 2.) His meticulous work and methodical approach to creating the best possible aesthetic outcome. 3.) His absolute concern for risk reduction during and after surgery and a very low personal infection rate. 4.) His total responsiveness to e mail, phone or text to any questions you have before or after surgery. 5.) His great team that all work together like a well oiled machine. 5.)Last but not least, his wit which can keep you entertained throughout an otherwise grueling process of multiple surgeries. He can at times be abrupt and is not the type to hold your hand while you cry about the fact that you have cancer. He is a straight shooter. But he will also make you laugh when you least expect it and isn't that often the best medicine anyway? I am so thankful for him and the great care I received from the entire team.

A serious perfectionist, incredibly efficient and an excellent communicator. Dr Welk doesn't mince words and goes for bat for his patients. My insurance denied at first and required a peer to peer review. You know he came back from vacation and it was the first thing he did his first day back?! That's love. This man is an artist. I love my reduction and lift!! I see lots of pics on real self and on support groups on FB and they don't look nearly as pristine as my beautiful rack from Dr Welk! PS he was referred to me by a nurse I had for an unrelated procedure. You know he's good if he's who the hospital folks go to!

Dr. Welk couldn't have been more caring about making sure I got connected with the best oncologist for the best possible results. He personally spent additional time helping me battle the insurance company for which I am forever grateful. After the reconstruction scars fully heal, it will be difficult to tell I had a double mastectomy. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but Dr. Welk. A truly talented doctor.
