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.

He has taken of me and my oldest daughter plus delivered my youngest daughter and my first granddaughter and he knew exactly what was wrong with my daughter a few days after she gave birth when no one else did

I had a large ovarian cyst removed by Dr. Watson. During pre-surgery, the nurses spent alot of time telling me he was a jerk, then I waited as the doctor and the nurses had spats about timing. This did not inspire confidence in my "team". Biggest issue was an infection in my belly button thru which the surgery had been done. I was told by the doctor's office that he said he wouldn't see me because it was impossible to have a wound infection in the 4th week after surgery. I suspect the infection was only noticed by me at the point when the surgical glue fell off (the doctor told me to let it fall off naturally). I tried to go to my GP and 4 walk-in clinics with the infection, all of whom told me only my surgeon could look at me. After repeated attempts to get Dr. Watson to look at it, I finally walked in to my GP's office, instead of calling for an appointment, and had a small melt-down. After GP tried speaking w Dr. Watson's office, he had same answers and GP treated me. Abandoned.

Non judgemental, caring, considerate. Explains everything so that you can actually understand. Came up with a plan to help me and UNDERSTANDS. They say everything happens for a reason. I had to switch doctors and now I am glad that I did. Finally someone who GETS IT!

Was a patient for 7 yrs. Had fertility issues & spent about 6 months on fertility meds. Took an in-office pregnancy test which I was told was positive & left the office thinking I was expecting--even telling my husband--only to be called & told the test was false. I finally conceived. Baby had to be delivered by C-Section because of fetal distress, but Dr. W didn't want to operate until after he'd had his dinner. During my post-natal follow-up, nurse said I was obese & gave me an oversized gown.

While Dr. Watson provided fine care for me during my pregnancy, he yelled at me for medical history I had not disclosed to him but that he discovered from my file from my former Dr. He proved to me why I had no intention of revealing it. While getting an ultrasound, he saw my 1 and only tattoo and said he's surprised I don't have lots more because he expected "my kind" to have many more. Shame on him. Shame on me for staying. I was new to CT, high risk due to many losses and just wanted a Dr.

Dr Watson is the worst dr of any kind that I have ever been a patient of. I was diagnosed with a massive fibroid and I was referred to him. The office itself is never available. You must leave a message and hope someone calls you back, even in an emergency. Dr. Watson is lazy, likes to pass the buck. Dr Watson lies to his patients about treatment plans, his availability, and whether or not he is in the office. He does not follow up and is not available to patients In need. He is a liar.
