Dr. Welton practices both pediatrics and adult medicine. He joins Dr. Bill Wilkinson and Nancy Virgilio, Certified Physicians Assistant at InterCare’s Charles Street location.

Dr. Welton served in the U.S. Army from 1989 to 1995 with tours of duty in Central American, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Originally from southwest Michigan, Dr. Welton noted, "I am excited to be returning to my home to serve those in need. I believe my international experiences, especially my time in Central America, provided me with valuable lessons that I will be able to use in my work here." In announcing Dr. Welton’s arrival to InterCare’s Bangor practice, Velma Hendershott, CEO of InterCare Community Health Network, stated, "We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Welton to our InterCare family. He is a most caring and dedicated physician, and will significantly increase this organization’s capacity to serve the many unmet health care needs of Bangor and the surrounding communities."
