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.

Amazing doctor - excellent bedside manner
Melissa is my daughter's doctor. She was amazing with my daughter. She was kind, easy to talk to, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. She was very patient and answered all of my questions and made sure I understood everything. But what stood out to me the most with Dr Watts, is that she made me, as the mom, feel comfortable and relieved a lot of my fears and anxiety. And I am very thankful for that. Highly recommend.

Best bedside manner and very thorough
Dr. Watts was fantastic. She took the time to take a detailed history about what was going on. She answered all of my questions, and she gave me a treatment plan that worked. She explained everything in such detail and she asked if I had questions at the end. She is the best doctor I have ever had!

Great Doctor
I can’t recommend Dr. Melissa Watts highly enough! From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Watts took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns and thoroughly explained my diagnosis and treatment options. It’s clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being.The entire team was efficient and friendly, making every visit a smooth and pleasant experience. Dr. Watts was always patient, answering all of my questions in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and I felt confident in the care I was receiving.Thanks to Dr. Watts’s expertise and compassionate approach, I’m feeling much better and more informed about my controlling my allergies and overall health. I also feel that I too, have a say in my plan of care. If you’re looking for a doctor who is both highly skilled and truly compassionate, Dr. Watts is it!

Disrespectful to Patient
I have been seeing allergy & immunology specialists for over 15 years, and I recently had to switch doctors. In my first visit with Dr. Watts, it was clear that she had not reviewed any of my medical history. When she asked me questions about it, I started explaining everything, but she kept interjecting, telling me that I was wrong and could not possibly have all of the allergies and reactions I was describing, even though I have been living with them for over 15 years and have been continuously treated by an allergist for them. She explained allergies and their reactions as if I did not know anything at all and could not understand them. Overall, she was very dismissive of my past medical history and experience, and was unwilling to admit that she may not know about the rare allergies and reactions I have been previously diagnosed with. This was the most disrespected I have ever felt by a medical professional.
