Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Visited Dr. Watkins (remotely) on 12/3. He was super friendly, on time, and diagnosed the issue quickly and competently. He was able to answer my questions and provide the associated documentation required that day. Would highly recommend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Watkins. His office staff are friendly and welcoming, and his nurse practitioner is wonderful! Dr. Watkins explained everything to us about our daughter in simple terms that we could understand and he laid out for us a clear plan. He also involved us in the decision making and helped us come to a path forward that worked for us and our daughter. He is kind, generous of spirit and thoughtful. We could not be more please with his care of our child.

Our son broke his femur in a mountain biking accident and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Watkins was great with him, explained the options, and answered all our questions before the surgery. Dr. Watkins and everyone at Boston Children's was wonderful and helped make a tough experience easier. He took his time with us during the follow-up appointments, helped us understand the healing and recovery process, and encouraged us to contact him with any questions and concerns. The first two weeks after the accident were incredibly rough, but we were amazed at how quickly our son healed and appreciate the care he received.

Not good. I do not believe he read the other doctor's notes, both of which were referring us to orthopedics. He clearly didn't know why we were there and wanted to send us on our way as quick as he could. He indicated there was no issue without any examination; not a follow-up appointment to actually be able to exam my child or an attempt to calm my child in order to complete an exam.

This provider misdiagnosed by child with a very serious condition and put our family through hell. Zero bedside manner and doesn’t interact with children well. Not sure why he’s in pediatrics. Would not recommend this provider to anyone!
