Dr. Watts’ goal as an Orthopedic Surgeon is to relieve musculoskeletal pain and improve function to allow his patients to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. This involves treating recent injuries and fractures, diagnosing and treating chronic problems, and revising problems created by other surgeries.
His training includes complex lower extremity deformities and reconstruction such as ankle replacements, Charcot foot, arthritis, bunion and hammertoe correction, and innovative minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgical techniques.
During his time at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Watts’ research efforts included studying surgical corrections of arthrogryposis in the hand and the benefits of PRP with syndesmotic ankle sprains, in addition to an article review for Bankart repair in athletes.
Dr. Watts has a wife and two children. He enjoys spending time with his family, being outdoors, and snowboarding. Since moving to Florida, he is eager to start surfing and fishing.

He was rough with me!
He did not even look at my MRIs for my knee bc your computer system could not load the files for some reason. The entire appointment felt rushed and unenthused. I am no closer to understanding my knee pain or foot pain now than I was before spending a ton of money on appointments and MRIs. I’m discouraged, disappointed and nervous to how much more my injuries will progress until I find out an accurate diagnosis.
Excellent doctor explained everything in detail 100%
Had to come in for an injection. The information provided by Dr. Watts was informative and I did not even feel the injection.
Fast and quick
Normal, down to earth. Able to go to plan B when necessary. Never once looked at a computer screen when he was with me. From a retired MD
Always a pleasure meeting with Dr Watts - he has taken great care of us and is our orthopaedic go-to.
