Ryan Welch
CEO/Co-Founder
As a passionate advocate for alternative medicine, I promise to use my personal and professional experiences to provide effective and available options, ensuring that you receive the very best in personalized patient care. Growing up like most Americans, eating and drinking a diet consisting of eating out at restaurants and convenience foods, I inevitably ran into health complications, which forced me to look for health solutions. That’s when I was introduced to alternative medicine and everything changed. After experiencing firsthand the miracles of naturopathic medicine and the life-changing impact it had on my health, I decided to shift career paths and began to work in the field of alternative health care. Since 2015, I have worked with some highly skilled physicians in strategizing and implementing procedure and protocols which allowed them to spend more time with their patients, ultimately giving them an opportunity to truly listen to their symptoms and diagnose accurately. My promise to you is that our MedLink professionals will always give you the time, respect, and professional care you deserve while providing the best in naturopathic concierge and regenerative medicine.
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.
Driven By Compassion
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.
Dr. Samantha Ramanan
“Quick and painless”
I had injured my wrist in the gym and after months of pain and discomfort, a friend told me about regenerative medicine. I contacted MedLink and they were very kind, knowledgeable, and able to get me in for a free consult fast. A week later, I had the procedure done, it was quick and painless. I followed the post-treatment instructions and after a few weeks, I was feeling great. It has been over a year now and my wrist feels stronger than ever. Thanks, Dr. Sam.

“It felt like a miracle.”
The allograft nebulizer was a total life saver! I came to MedLink because my breathing limited my physical activities and I am an active outdoors woman. It would sometimes take me up to 30 min to catch my breath and recover after just a light hike. I tried the nebulizer a month before an elk hunt and didn’t realize how well I was feeling until we were hiking up a mountain and the guys had to take a break before I did. It took me all of 5 minutes to catch my breath before I had to tell them “come on, let’s go!” It felt like a miracle! Thanks, MedLink.

“Very Professional”
I contacted MedLink Health Solutions for my annual physical and some blood work. I found the staff to be very professional. Dr. Sam was great, she took the time to explain everything the blood work was going to key in on. When the test came back, she sat down with me and explained the results, making sure I understood everything. She also suggested a few lifestyle changes that would be beneficial to me. I’ll just say this, the whole team there was very professional and caring.

“Not one-size-fits-all medicine!”
Dr. Sam helped me overcome longstanding fatigue. I’m a workaholic, and she helped me figure out how I can make beneficial lifestyle modifications within the limitations of my job and family life. She does not do one-size-fits-all medicine! She tailored a program just for me, and I haven’t felt this energized, focused, and balanced in at least a decade.

“I was able go back to work pain free.”
For work, I do a lot of lifting. I hurt my right arm real bad and couldn’t lift it above my shoulder. I worked through the pain and thought it was just a part of getting older. Over time, my arm got worse and I couldn’t work. I went to MedLink Health Solutions and Dr. Sam, and in one PRP treatment, I was able to go back to work pain free and without limitations on my arm at work. Dr. Sam diagnosed me and injected me in one visit with ultrasound. I would recommend Dr. Sam for any joint injury.
Mary M.
“I avoided surgery”
I came to Dr. Ramanan for a torn rotator cuff tear and all my primary doctor could offer me was pain killers and surgery. Not only was Dr. Ramanan professional and compassionate, but she took the time to explain why I was in so much pain and how my own body could heal! Who knew I could heal at my age! Although I was very nervous, the procedure was easy and Dr. Ramanan took the time to make sure I was comfortable. After only two procedures, I have zero pain and can actually comb my hair now with my right arm. I am so grateful that I could avoid surgery. Highly recommended.

“Specific to my complex needs”
Two years after first meeting Dr. Sam and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in my whole life. She’s been my number one ally in making that happen, not just due to her depth of body wisdom, but a commitment to figuring out the best treatments for me that is unparalleled in my over 50 years of experience with doctors and medicine. She is the first doctor I’ve ever met who treats me as a whole system, not just parts. Had I not met her at that crucial time, I don’t know if I’d been able to heal as well as I did. That dedication is invaluable in a physician. I now know what healthcare should be for everyone.
