Great first visit. Knew my situation and needs upon walking in. Clearly conveyed my next steps. He was very thorough. Highly recommend.
Easy to talk to.
Great bedside manner.
Anyone needing an orthopedic surgeon would be fortunate to have Dr. Watts. He is an outstanding surgeon. He is also a very likable doctor. He has a sense of humor and is always willing to explain things in a way you can understand. I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Watts and wouldn’t even consider going to a different doctor!
Excellent manner, made me feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable.
After a very thorough examination I felt really good having Dr. Watts as my new Orthopedic Doctor.
Dr Watts listens to one’s concerns. He is very straight forward with solutions. ( I appreciate that.) He is very nice and has a great sense of humor!
Dr. Watts is giving time for my injury to heal on its own rather than pushing unnecessary medical treatments. He is friendly and honest. He took the time to listen to my concerns.
He listened to my concerns and responded
Thorough and expert! Would highly recommend.
