He is very understanding and patient,tries making the procedures as easy as possible!
Long wait
Dr. Watson is top notch. He is a great listener and doesn’t present a treatment plan without input from the patient. He is knowledgeable and confident in his diagnosis are on target. I would highly recommend his services.
Nice, caring, professional.
He listens and his procedures are done gently.
Caring
Dr . Watson is great and so are the office staff. I’m always in and out, sometimes even before my scheduled appointment. He always checks on how I’m doing and is always so careful to alert me as to what is next during procedures. .
He is a very good, nice doctor
