I first met Dr Welsh after my son had a foot injury and a few months later, I returned with my own shoulder problem. It both cases, Dr Welsh was extremely attentive, clearly explained the problem and gave several options towards recovery. He's kind, fun and extremely good at what he does. We're happy to have gone to CTO for care.
