in St. Marys. She treats women of all ages for a variety of surgical and
non-surgical gynecological and obstetric issues, from puberty and fertility

After graduating from the University of California with a bachelor’s

medical degree at Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale,
Arizona. She then completed her obstetrician and gynecology residency

Dr. Welgraven describes her approach to practicing medicine as treating
patients like family. “When you come to see me, I’m going
to treat you like you are my sister or mom. I spend a lot of time getting
to know my patients, where they are from, what they and their spouses
do, and their health goals. I enjoy getting to know who they are as a
person.”

planning and birth control management, contraceptive implants and IUDs,
infertility treatment, prenatal care, labor and delivery services, treatment
of pelvic pain and urinary disorders, and management of menopausal symptoms.
