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.

Decent doctor, but don’t let his wife get involved
When I went, I was treated very bad because his wife who works there was extremely rude and then the doctor lied to my mom about it, it’s a mess. Basically go elsewhere.

He doesn’t take Global Health Med Advantage
I moved from Texas and kept going back to my doctor in Texas for over a year and then we moved to ARDMORE from Pauls Valley and someone recommended Stephen Watkins and I made an appointment and I really liked him but I still felt guilty seeing him whenever I had seen my doctor Olsen in Richardson Texas for 20 years. I finally moved all my records over to Dr. Watkins and I’ve been seeing him now for two years and I turned 65 and I had to choose a Medicare or Medicare advantage plan, and the Medicare advantage plan global health for Carter county Dr. Watkins and his group do not take this insurance because of all the referral paperwork involved, so they chose not to take global health, Carter county is one of 26 counties in Oklahoma that take our provide global health Medicare advantage plan to their clients and that’s really important to have great doctors so I have to now switch over to the Mercy system and I have Dr. Zimmerman. If you were looking for a Dr. Choose Dr Watkins

I have been to Dr’s that did not even care. Dr Watkin’s takes time and cares for each of his patients. He is the best in my books.

Dr. Watkins is always interested in the proper care for his patients and is very good with knowing the proper care. I have used him 5 or 6 years and he has always taken excellent care of any problems I have .. Plus he is an easy person to talk to and is easy to get an appointment with.

I don't have a problem with Dr. Watkins but I do have a problem with his so called secetarys they are very unprofessional and very very very rude to the patients and the family of the patient they will not allow you to go back there with your family which I think is very wrong and they get an attitude if they have to repeat themselves again and again to the customers my mom has a hard time hearing and she asked my mom a question and my mom couldn't understand her and she got really rude to her.

Dr. Watkins is very professional and he has a great staff. He does what is needed to find out what needs to be done to make you better. Uses bloodwork alot to determine illnesses and follow up. My family has used him for years and will him.continue to do so. I strongly recommend him.
