I drove 3 hours to see him and he wouldn’t even see me because my images would not load on their computer so I was told to leave. I met with his PA who was very nice but still frustrating that I did not get to see the person I came for.

The PA was absolutely amazing. He explained everything so I could understand. He listened to me and I felt very comfortable.

Dr. Watson Explained what I was having done and before I went under he was helping the nurses and anesthesiologist get me ready for surgery. He held the mask over my face to get me ready to be moved from my hospital bed to the surgical gurney. He showed his interns that we are all one team at TGH when it comes to the care of our patients. That one event (before I was out like a light) showed that he values his team and even though he is the main character, he pitches in where needed to get the patient comfortable and get everything in order so he can do his job and his team can do theirs. Thank you and thank you to everyone that was a part of my surgery, emergency room care, and hospital care. Thank you very much to TGH. P.S. the food was delicious.
