But I did not see Dr Watson. I was treated by his wonderful PA Austin
He is my angel!! He is the 5 start start
Dr Watson is an excellent surgeon. He is able to do complex cases and fix other surgeons massive errors. He is Direct and to the point but listens to questions and concerns and is able to address them with no problems.
As always he is friendly, he listens to me, and guides me in the right connection. I have been a patient for 6 years.
I’m happy with my treatment. But since I have not yet met Dr. Watson, I hesitate to provide him a rating. That said, that is by no means a crticism because I am not surprised that the nature of my condition is sufficiently routine ghat his time is better spent elsewhere. Besides, his PA is excellent and I have heard only good things about Dr. Watson.
Wonderful doctor! He did my hip replacement revision and muscle repair surgery and was very understanding & caring He listens to his patients. Highly recommend! 5-Star after the initial replacement by another doctor was a disaster.
Dr. Watson and his staff are phenomenal !! I live in Lakeland and drive to Tampa to go to Florida Orthopedics Institute because of their expertise and knowledge.
Dr. Watson is concerned about his patients well being.
I felt like I was heard and they scheduled everything needed for a diagnosis.
He did an excellent job replacing my left knee and I am recovering well with very little pain. PT in hospital is doing great and I know it will continue at FOI outpatient therapy. Thank you Dr Watson.
