I'd just like to say Dr. Welinski is the best primary care physician I've ever had. He is honestly the reason my health has improved. He's the reason I have the confidence to make my life better, make my health better. Dr. Welinski is the reason that I stick with Bullfinch Medical Center. He's the best doctor I've ever had in my life. You know, hopefully he doesn't retire in a really long time because I'd like to have him be my primary care for as long as I can because I'm lucky to be a patient of his. So thank you for the opportunity to give this feedback and thank you for giving me the opportunity to sing Dr. Welinski's praises. You know, like I said, he's an absolutely amazing doctor.

Dr. Welinsky is an exceptionally thoughtful, caring, and skilled physician, as he has always been at every one of our appointments. He shows an interest not only in the immediate medical issues for which I see him, but also always takes the time and thoughtfulness to inquire about my personal life and concerns, if any. As a physician and physician educator myself, I particularly admire the example he sets for resident physicians in training; his office staff mentioned today that this afternoon he will be working with residents; they are fortunate to have Dr. Welinsky as a role model.
