Ryan Welch
CEO/Co-Founder
Driven by an unwavering belief in the power of alternative medicine, my journey is a promise to you. With both personal and professional insights, I’m dedicated to offering accessible and impactful solutions, ensuring your journey to wellness is exceptional. My dietary upbringing mirrored many, founded on the teachings and conveniences of what we call today, the Standard American Diet. When health hurdles inevitably emerged, I discovered the transformative realm of alternative medicine; a turning point that reshaped my path. Witnessing the remarkable shifts naturopathic medicine brought to my life, I embarked on a new career trajectory in the realm of holistic healthcare.
Since 2015, I’ve collaborated with visionary physicians, crafting strategies that empower them to dedicate time, truly listen, and diagnose patients accurately. This commitment to patient-centered care has fueled my purpose. At MedLink, our promise is unwavering: you’ll receive not just medical attention, but time, respect, and a personalized approach that celebrates naturopathic and regenerative medicine at its finest. Let’s journey together toward a healthier, vibrant you.
Panda Welch
Medical Assistant
I understand the frustrations of traditional healthcare and this is why I chose to be a part of MedLink, where we’re raising the standard and putting an emphasis on patient care. We’re fixing the broken system. I spent nearly two decades in the hospitality industry, learning how people work, the essence of multitasking, time management, and the trueness of quality over quantity. I promise to help you along your health journey with such skills and to provide the space for you and your physician to truly connect and formulate your treatment plans. The good Lord has blessed me by way of an incredible family that brought me up with deep roots, a love for nature, food, and love itself. Our MedLink family is fueled by God, we are humble servants and founded the company with our patients’ wellbeing in mind. By combining all of these elements with education in traditional, naturopathic, and regenerative medicine, I vow to be on your team and to welcome you to our MedLink family with open arms.

A Letter From
Dr. Ramanan
This is my mission as a naturopathic doctor- keep the healthy, healthy and give the sick, hope. You don’t have to suffer.
Dear Patient,
I acknowledge the wisdom and divinity that is your body. We are all different, with different experiences, mindsets, and resources. Thus, we shouldn’t be prescribed the same treatments because no body is the same. Diseases aren’t your label–they are your opportunity to take action. I am present with you to assist you in listening to your body and stopping the habits that hurt, and instead encouraging health and healing.
Are you tired of healthcare like I am? Aren’t you tired of sickness-driven healthcare with no thought to prevention or true health? Prevention is the best medicine, and we need to change the mindset of only seeing a doctor when sickness strikes to seeing a doctor to prevent sickness altogether.
This is my mission as a naturopathic doctor–keep the healthy, healthy and give the sick hope. You don’t have to suffer. You don’t have to rely on conventional options because there are always alternatives. You just need a guide along your journey to health and happiness. That is what I am: your God-sent servant to help you listen to your body and take appropriate action.
I have seen first-hand, with proper guidance patients can heal, challenge traditional care, and avoid surgery to restore health and wellbeing. It is possible with the right tools and knowledge and I am here to remind you of what is possible. Are you ready? It’s time to heal.
