Kristin Welter, MD

Dr. Welter is NOT at Sunnyvale location! I have tried to update it twice now but Unilocal is a little slow. Her address is:
2400 Samaritan Drive, San Jose, 95 124 Suite 105 Phone: (408) 523‑3102
I was so so so apprehensive person when it came to switching MD’s. It was not by choice. I have seen Dr. Welter twice now, and I think I picked the best MD PAMF has to offer. Just like the other reviews state, she is a no nonsense type of person — which I really appreciate! No bullshit, no sugar coating. This is incredibility important when it comes to your health! My first visit I was really nervous because I had been with the same medical group my entire life, so I was ready to tell her and give her all of my records, she did not rush me at all. She stayed interested and engaged the entire time and took the time to understand why I was so freaked out about switching.
PAMF doctors have the ability to access Kaiser medical records because they both use «EPIC». Dr. Welter was able to review my scans and ect while I was sitting in her office! This is not only a perk for her but all PAMF MD’s! Coming from someone who works in the medical field, I found this incredible and so reassuring.

Dr. Welter has been my primary physician for over fifteen years, and she is simply wonderful! She is very smart, super cool, and personable. Her exams are very thorough. She always appears calm that she never rushes through any appointment. I like how she gives candid advice and is never judgmental. I can be completely open to her about anything, and I have complete trust in her. She has my utmost respect for a doctor.

I saw Dr. Welter a couple year’s ago and honestly, this (in addition to another visit at PAMF), really made me dislike PAMF and their doctors. It was my first time seeing her and I wanted to have an annual exam. I understand doctors are busy but so are the patients so I specifically requested the first appointment of the day, which was at 8:30AM. I had a meeting I needed to leave for by 10:30AM so I figured the 2-​hour window would be plenty of time. I showed up 20 min early to my appointment to do paperwork and waited. And waited and waited and waited.
I wasn’t seen until 9:45AM (even though my appt was for 8:30AM) and the first 15 min was spent just her taking my history (and me patiently waiting for her to type it into the computer). I explained to her that unfortunately I needed to leave by 10:30AM, to which she gave me that I should have allotted 1 full hour for the exam. Okay, my bad, no one informed me that an annual exam would take 1 hour. But then I explained to her but my appointment was at 8:30AM and I half-​expected to be seen by at least 9:15AM, not 9:45AM. Then she scoffed and told me in a condescending tone: «well you should have come early for your appointment then». WELL I DID. I CAME 20 MINUTES EARLY SO DON’T TELL ME I WAS LATE. And i specifically requested first appt of the day so this exact thing could be avoided. Either give me first appt or LET ME KNOW.
Judging on her other reviews, maybe it was just a bad day or whatever but it left such a sour taste in my mouth that I would never recommend her to anything, let alone any doctor part of PAMF.
Oh, and then 8 months later when I needed to see my PCP because of some medical stuff going on, I was told that she was booked out 3 months in advance. So, what, I’m ONLY supposed to go for routine exams? What the hell do I do when I actually need to see them for something?

I have been Dr. Welter’s patient for more than 10 years. At first, she seems «all business» and too cool, but she warms up a bit as she gets to know you. I like several things about her. First, she is smart, very smart. That gives you a better chance of getting a good diagnosis. Second, she is very efficient about her responses on lab work and emails. She follows up on everything, making it easy for you to get answers you need. Third, she calls you on your cr@#. If you are making excuses that get in the way of your best care, she will tell you. Sometimes, we all need this, even though we may not like it at the moment. My wife went with another doctor at first who had a better «beside manner», but came back to Dr. Welter after seeing the care I was getting. I would give Dr. Welter more than 5 stars if I could

Dr. Welter is wonderful! She is thoughtful and LISTENS to you. I always walk out of her office — knowing I taken well care off. I don’t think she is accepting new patients — but if you are lucky enough to see her — she’s awesome!

Dr. Welter is the best doctor I’ve ever had. It seems that she has an answer to all questions, she is very professional and trully cares about her patients. I never had a doctor that I could fully trust, however, this time I believe I’m in good hands!

Dr. Welter is FABULOUS! I have been with her for almost 10 years, she also cares for my Mother in-​law, Sister in-​law, Brother in-​law, and my Daughter. Everyone adores her. Dr. Welter takes time to listen patiently, is always calm and very sweat. We LOVE our doctor Welter.

Dr. Welter may be serious, but is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. She is very thorough, caring, and knows her patients inside and out. She has been my PCP for at least 8 years and came highly recommended by an orthopedic physician I personally know and respect. She is a wonderful person who has dedicated her life to helping people. She also does not forget a face.
There have been points in my life that I’ve needed her treatment and she and her entire staff make sure my needs are being met. She knows her patients so well that if and when you need a prescription called in or medical advice, she tries to save you a trip, and copay, by resolving the issue over the phone if possible.
There aren’t a lot of PCPs out there who take the time to get to know their patients like she does.

Been going to her for at least 8 years as my PCP. She’s awesome. She can be a little serious, but that is not a bad thing for a doctor, right? She’s very sharp, and is not quick to panic, which I like. She genuinely cares about her patients. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Welter has been my physician for the last several years and I really like her. They’re very busy here so she’s very professional and down-​to-​business more often than not but I’ve also found her to be warm and willing to listen and answer questions. She can be pretty funny, too, once you get to know her a little.
