Excellent care
Dr. Watts is a great Dr. He did surgery on my hand and did a wonderful job on my hand. He has a great bedside manner and is very honest.
I just wanted to express my gratitude and admiration for Dr. Watts. Literally, in one visit, he accurately diagnosed the issue with my knee and confirmed it with an MRI. The operation was a huge success, and remarkably, a week later, I'm completely pain-free. I'm beyond thrilled with the results and want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Watts for his expertise, care, and professionalism. Thank you again, Dr. Watts. you're amazing!
