Very down to earth and explained everything in a way that made sense. Very honest about what he thinks will help and what may not, and why.
Dr. Derek Watson has given me the proper treatment to calm down my back pain . He has a thorough understanding of what my back problem is .

Very understanding doctor. Great doctor. Listens to what you have to say. Thanks.
Good bedside manor.
Dr. Watson consistantly displays concern for my back issues and is always willing to help me in any way he can. He has also been willing to direct me to another provider who can help in different ways (surgery). I am very grateful for his excellent orthopaedic care.

He seems genuinely interested in helping you feel better!
Great job today, absolutely the least pain for an injection
