I hope he can help me. The shots and ice are keeping the swelling down.
He did say he couldn’t help me to walk like I was 18, I am only 79.
I look forward to working with him

Dr. Watson is always nice and friendly. He explains things the way we, the patients understands and he suggest me options of treatment. I like to have options and have the opportunity to participate and choose my treatment.

What a compassionate doctor. He didn't rush me, he listened to my concerns, he made me feel like I was going to be ok. He scheduled all my further appointments with the hospital and the vascular dr in Watertown. Great bedside manner. Thank you for caring

My expectations were high after my therapist recommended Dr Watson. He was very nice. I left feeling a bit disappointed and my issue minimized. Then, I was directed to therapy for orthotics. I waited at least 20 minutes. I approached staff and was told I would need to wait to be fitted into the therapist's schedule with absolutely no idea on the wait time frame. They weren't aware I was even waiting. Now, I have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment and then another 2 weeks for the orthotics to arrive. I left frustrated and disappointed. I had such a great experience with Dr Hurd and Dr Curd's PA recently.

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.
