Welcome or Come in??

Hi

While visiting the hospital, when we walk into the room where the doctor is seated, does he say -

Welcome Ma'am!

or Please come in, Ma'am!?

I mean - which would be more natural for a native speaker?

(In Tamil, we use the same word for both!)

Please help.


Thank you

Doctor: Hello, Mrs. X, how are y
