He's a amazing doctor. All his staff are you friendly and knowledgeable.
PreOp appt. Austin, PA was wonderful. Explained everything i needed to know. Also gave me my cortisone shots..He was very gentle
Very professional, detail proficient examination. Very real talk..simplifies clinical language
Dr. Watson is great. I can't say that about Florida Ortho. Not only did i have to wait 80 minutes past my appointment time, I felt rushed and couldn't discuss other issues. Everyone is running around so fast, things get missed. It feels like speed dating, the doctor has so many minutes allowed, and off they go to another, etc. I should go more often, but the experience is so bad.
Always shows compassion for your pain. Just love this doctor he has done so much for me the last 10 years. Keeps me walking out of pain. Worth the hour drive for sure
Wish I’d known that I might have to have the screws removed from my knee.. it’s too bad they don’t give you a paper etc before the surgery on what to expect w knee surgery..just one more surprise..
Excellent Dr
Good team
Dr. Watson has been in my life for 10ish years, replacing my joints and putting me back together after my falls. He is great and helping me with my longevity.
For my follow-up I saw his assistant rather than Dr Watson so I can not rate Dr Watson for this visit.
