The staff is lovely and thorough. They answered all of my questions but once you leave the office, it’s pretty much impossible to get a response to a call or email. That’s been the most frustrating part of the process.

Dr Watson was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. My family and I felt at ease asking him the many questions we had and he answered them all. He explained the procedure and process for the surgery to my right knee in a clear, precise manner. We left his office feeling confident in his ability to provide the the care that I need. I look forward to my surgery date in October. Thank you for having me as your patient Dr Watson.

I have not personally met Dr. Watson. Not even once after half dozen visit. Office staff is nice. Surgery was done by Dr.Watson but I guess doctor personally don't introduced himself to patients. Just P.A.
