Dr Watson has a great bedside manner and easy to talk with. He listened to my concerns. He likes to joke a little which helps the nerves to calm.

From Dr. Watson I chose orthopedics because there are fixable problems with visible outcomes. I enjoy seeing a variety of musculoskeletal problems and treating all ages, from young to the elderly. It is also fun being able to work with your hands, honing a craft, and having some mastery or expertise in a particular field.
I want people to feel that they are cared for. I base my decisions on what I would want for myself or my loved ones. When you come to Orthopedic Institute, you are not just a number. It gives me great pleasure to provide individualized care for my patients.
