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 visit was relatively quick. I know there are a lot of patients that are waiting, but I think he could have explained things a little more to me. I had a lot of questions and I felt rushed throughout my visit. I have to wait for an MRI and I am going to have to sit with the pain until the MRI is done and I see him next time. I did explain I wasn’t looking pain meds, but if therapeutic injection could be a option since I am in and out of my vehicle all day would of been very helpful still could be helpful since I am in moderate pain.

Outstanding Care
Although my surgeon was a luck of the draw on both surgeries, I was glad to have Dr. Watts. His performance and professionalism were outstanding. In personal interface such as appointments he was focused on me, friendly and helpful. I would recommend Dr. Watts to anyone.

The Absolute Best!
Dr. Watts is caring, knowledgable, thorough etc. He did surgery successfully on my toes that other Drs said I was too old for. He went the extra mile to insure success and was there for me all the way! I highly recommend him and his wonderful staff!
