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.
