Staff was also very helpful and courteous and made me feel comfortable
Straight and to the point.
He is the 1st doctor I have seen in a while that did got gaslight me. I appreciated that he was kind and to the point and didn't push for unnecessary treatments.
Down to earth and real. Happy with him and his Team thus far. Thank you for your service.
Fantastic
Dr. Watts is friendly yet professional and gives cortisone shots with the least amount of discomfort.
Just had my appointment today. He gave me two shots to relieve pain in my toes. He listens and went over things that could happen with surgery. Hopefully shots will work and I’ll see him in a few months.
He is a excellent Dr. Very professional and kind. You can see his vocation. God Bless him.
Very pleasant and right to the point. I like that!
After years of explaining my agony to several physicians, Dr. Watts and Dr. Waldbaum were the first to truly listen. Thanks to them, I’m finally on a path of acknowledgment and recovery.
