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.

My Surgery.
I recently had an inguinal canal hernia repair by Dr. Watson.This Doctor restored my faith in medicine.The procedure was uneventful and healing is progressing very well.The staff, surgical team and recovery room nurse(Brittany) were exceptional.I sensed an actual personal and professional interest in my care.I had not visited a physicians office for some 15 years thinking I was in good shape for an old fellow and was more than surprised to hear,following my surgery, that Dr.Watson and the surgical team discovered that I had an abdominal aneurysm that needed correction.Needless to say 'a life saving 'observation.They immediately arranged for my subsequent care.I highly recommend this Doctor and the Hospital based on the excellent care I received. Words cannot express my gratitude.Thank you Dr. Watson and all for making my life better.

He saved my life
I went to the ER on Oct 8,2023 with abdominal pain after having a hysterectomy on Oct 2,2023. I had an umbilical hernia from the laparoscopy scope being pulled out too fast. .. If he didn’t opt for me to have surgery the next morning I wouldn’t be here right now.. the man is my hero!

Totally disappointed. Had colonoscopy on March 9, 2023. He said I had Colitis, but didn't say what type. He said, "I will send report to your primary Dr. Go to your Dr. he can decide how to treat it. My Primary Dr. called Dr. Watsons office 3 times asking for report. Never heard back from him. Finally on morning of 5/1/23 my Dr. had me go to ER. I got disgusted and called Watsons office and left a nasty message . While in ER, Dr. Watsons office called me to let me know they sent the report to my primary Dr. after I got irate and nasty with them on 5/1/23. I let them know that was VERY poor service. A month for them to get the info my Primary Dr. needed to treat me. I don't know if the fault lies with him or his staff. Regardless, I would not recommend him.

I met with Dr. Watson after numerous Dr.s had done many things but never fixed my hernia to help my pain. First appointment he listened and showed complete concern. He successfully did surgery and took the pain away. He is one of my all time favorite Dr.s and trust me I have seen a lot!

Dr. Watson performed hernia surgeries on both my husband and myself. He is an excellent surgeon, personable and well qualified. With my husband’s advanced age and condition, Dr. Watson was conscientious in accommodating my husband’s needs. We will not hesitate to use his services again!
