I have had ongoing care left knee replacement the first Dr. in Spring Hill never glued right could have lost it. David and his team especially Austin are so great follow up know by name and care. He put a whole new unit in after the first year took out scar tissue I’m bowling , swimming. Still they make follow up every 6 mo. It’s been 2.5 years

Dr. Watson has been a godsend for me. I have complications from previous orthotic surgeries from 2 different doctors. Dr. Watson has recently replaced my knee which is a total success and is trying to manage my hip problems. He is caring, receptive to my concerns and always pleasant. I feel very confident in his surgical experience and follow up care. I highly recommend this surgeon.
