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.

Excellent surgeon, and a kind, unassuming man.
Dr. Wattles is excellent. He is kind, understanding, and actually listens to you when you ask a question and gives you an answer you can understand. His surgery skills are amazing. He reconstructed my left hip. The surgery went extremely well, and the recovery was painless. I was back to normal in less than 6 weeks. And, if you call with a post-op question, HE CALLS YOU BACK himself. He calls, not a nurse, someone from the office or a physician assistant. He truly personifies the word DOCTOR. He's a true gift from God.

I could not have chosen a better surgeon ( he actually came highly recommended by one of his colleagues)and I could not have been any more pleased with my total knee replacement. The confidence he had in himself to take on the the extra i issues surrounding my replacement was felt and it put my mind at ease because I was then confident with my choice . I really could not be more pleased with his work. I am having the other knee replaced very soon and Dr Wattles is the only surgeon i would even think of using. My experience with Dr Wattles is nothing short of excellent and would highly recommend to anyone needing this type of surgery. . ,
