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’s a great doctor. Unsure of why the 1 star reviews. He is one of the only practitioners in this field that seems to really care about his patients and treats us like humans instead of addicts.

Dr Watson is a fantastic doctor. He makes you feel at ease is extremely knowledgeable and treats you with respect. Does not belittle you or any question you may have. He's a no nonsense tell it like it is doctor. I would absolutely recommend him and have! Staff Is great as well. Very professional and extremely helpful. The only train anyone would give him anything but 5 stars is because they tried to bs him or disrespected him or his staff. Superb doctor

Dr. Watson and his manager Miss Francine have a vested interest in their patients well-being; they go above & beyond whats expected. The care, compassion and respect for patients is how medicine ought to be practiced.Dr.Watson takes time to educate you on your ailment & aggree with treatment. You're an active participant in your health not just a bystander. Every concern is addressed and dignified; never marginalize or condesended. Dr Watson & Francine lead by example.
