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.

Dr Watson is an excellent doctor and surgeon. He takes the time and monitors my knees closely. Knee surgery is needed, but he doesn’t push … when I’m ready.
