    Dr. Welty is one of the most incredible people and practitioners that I have ever met. The Center for Geriatric Care has been one of the most important resources in my family's arsenal for carrying for my grandmother. We do not know what we would be able to do without this amazing team. I hope that the Center for Geriatric Care does receive additional resources, especially more geriatricians, as I am aware of many elderly individuals and their families who are very interested in signing up as patients.
