The visit was helpful. The doctor explained the approach he and Dr Galland appeared to be using to evaluate if I was a candidate for the MISHI surgery.He recommended an epidural cortisone shot to calm the back down while knee evaluation proceeded.

Dr. Watson is extremely kind and compassionate. He took his time and listened to my concerns, explained different procedures and paths we could take and why certain ones would have benefits over others now versus later, something no other doctor has taken the time to do. Great bedside manner.

Dr. Watson always takes time to answer questions, explain the procedure/treatment (both before and during), and is top notch at what he does. I have recommended him to others who would be waiting from his expertise.
