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 listener & explainer. Warm humble spirit
My experience from the moment I walked in the office and checked in at the front desk, to having her nurse rooming me and then finally meeting her was topping on the cake. She was welcoming, easy to talk to, and did not waste time making sure I was up to date on certain tests. She had given me information on what vitamins to take and how much. But what I was impress with and liked the most about Dr. Watson was the fact that she was easy to talk to and I didn’t feel nervous. I felt like I was right at home with her. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends without a doubt and glad I found her in my insurance directory.

I recommend anyone that’s high risk pregnancy to consider having Dr. Watson as their OB. I had an emergencyc section at 37 weeks because my baby was breeched & I went into labor early. I had a hemorrhage & almost had a hysterectomy, she did everything in Her power to stop the bleeding & Saved my life. I was 19 at the time and it was obvious she was concerned for my health & being able to have more children in the future. I didn’t feel like just another patient ,she really cared and tried.
