Very knowledgeable in his craft and has a good bedside manner. Dr.Watson did an excellent job on my ankle surgery, repaired a torn ligament, cleaned up bone spurs and removed a chipped piece of bone. I'm recovering well and should be back to running in 2 more months.

It’s hard to rate this physician when we didn’t actually even see Dr Watson. We have been there three times and have only seen him once. We have seen his ortho residents I guess. While they have been nice enough, you can tell they don’t really have all the answers. Additionally, at our last visit the female resident gave by daughter a chemical burn from the freeze spray used before administering the steroid injection. She needs to be educated to only spray until the skin blanches white to avoid burning any other patients.
I spoke with an emergency physician friend about my daughter’s inability to lift her toes and numbness she has to the great toe. He says it was concerning and to go back to see ortho. When I asked at our visit, they didn’t check and said they don’t know why she would have that because her MRI looked fine in that area. Very dismissive and honestly I have gotten more information and assistance from her physical therapist. They prescribed a brace to help with stability.

Dr. B. Collier Watson, D.O. is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in disorders of the foot and ankle. Raised in Blakely, Georgia, he received his undergraduate degree with honors from the University of Georgia in 2006. Afterward he attended the Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine on the campus of Virginia Tech, graduating in 2010.

Dr. Watson has expertise in both common and complex disorders of the foot and ankle. His primary clinical interest is in foot and ankle reconstruction, including total ankle replacement, deformity correction, trauma, and sports-related injuries/disorders of the foot and ankle.

In his spare time, Dr. Watson enjoys exercising, being outdoors, spending time with his family, and following collegiate sports, especially his beloved Georgia Bulldogs.
“I am proud to be a part of the Hughston Clinic, which I believe provides not only high quality but comprehensive musculoskeletal care through many sub-specialties. My sub-specialty training in orthopedic foot and ankle surgery allows me to provide a customized surgical or non-surgical treatment strategy for my patients. My wife and I are proud to be raising our family in our home state and have enjoyed getting involved in the Columbus community.”
