Dr. Watters gave me a new hip 5 years ago. This was a regularly scheduled appointment to see how it is still working. Xrays showed everything was as good as the first day. It is always enjoyable to visit and talk with him.

Dr Watters has replaced both of my knees and both of my hips. Textbook perfect surgeries. I followed all PT activities and drug directions. I now ride my horse, walk daily, and have lost 20 pounds. He is kind, knowledgeable, and pro-active.

Very nice; thorough, detailed and very knowledgeable. Im impressed with Raleigh Orhto period, especially Dr. Quinlan and Dr. Watters. I have had other doctors there that were very dismissive whereas Dr. Watters was not--he asked questions, gave options and his expert opinion. I would highly recommend!

Dr. Watters was pleasant but didn’t communicate in a manner easy for me to follow. The exit nurse hurriedly handed me written instructions but didn’t take time to see if I had further questions. Therefore, I left not really knowing what our plan was or how treatment would be delivered. Dr. Watters seemed highly skilled and knowledgeable but he needs to learn to speak to patients in simpler terms! I am a senior citizen but do have 2 college degrees! I typically am able to understand. It made me feel as if he was unconcerned, although he did spend an adequate amount of time. I hope this helps him with communication.
