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.

Fantastic doctor. I feel so blessed to have come across a physician that has an incredible ability to show true empathy and compassion. There is no doubt in my mind that I come before every penny he makes. I feel like a person with normal thoughts and feelings rather than just a number. I can promise you will not regret seeing him. There is so much i could say about Dr Watkins and his staff, they seriously blew my mind today. Just trust me… pick up the phone and call. Theres just no way you could regret it.

Dr. Watkins aka Dr J he’s one of Us
From the Moment I drive up to his TruHealth clinic I feel like I’m almost home. On a regular monthly visit I didn’t want to leave and I was brave so I checked to see how soon I would be welcome back and that’s when I remembered I was welcome to stop in anytime. When I did come back I was experiencing anxiety and other mental challenges; Dr. J came and meet me. I was so weak he helped support me and brought me inside. I felt safe, important, peaceful. I’m grateful for Dr J and his staff. I’m a new person because of the care I have received. I am confident I will continue to improve.

Unbelievably Knowledgeable. My husband and I could tell 5 minutes into our appointment that he sincerely cared about our wellbeing. He stayed with us until we had every question answered, which was over an hour, (unheard of these days with MOST doctors). He was so kind and patient with us both. Brigham City is so lucky to have scored such a great man as Dr. Watkins.

Dr Watkins was very kind, clear and concise. He gave me several options to choose from for my treatment plan. I prefer to start with the least invasive treatment and work up as needed. He was very understanding of this and explained my options in depth to me.

If you are lucky enough to get to see Dr Watkins, you are indeed lucky. I was used to mediocre dull Dr's who didn't try & wasted time. I wish I knew about Dr Watkins before! It was like a breath of fresh air to have someone highly competent, who explains & is very efficient. He agreed to be my regular Dr & 2 mo later I asked for an appt w/him. But I was told I should see "the other one" but I said no, I want Dr Watkins. But they scheduled me with "the other one" anyway."The other one" said I had Whooping cough & prescribed meds, refused to run a test to see for sure if it was Whooping cough, saying its too expensive. She said it doesn't matter if my cough is from whooping cough, a cold or reflux, the meds will still get rid of it. She had them run a test to see if I had Covid antibodies; but she didn't want a test run to see if I have Covid now. That's why I wanted Dr Watkins. I tried to get another appt with him but was told no, bc I already saw him 2 mo ago for a checkup.

Hands down the best doctor I have been to. I've struggled for YEARS with a very rare disorder that very few doctor know about and was treated terrible by doctors because they didn't want to learn about it or help. After my first visit with Dr. Watkins I knew my search for a good doctor was over. He gives the best advice with the knowledge to back it, he is so kind and when he is unsure he will actually do the research to help you. He is the first doctor to validate my pain and I fully believe he has his patients best interest at heart. It has been very hard to find a doctor that you know is in it because they genuinely want to help others. Thank you so much Dr. Watkins!!
