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.

In Feb of this year the VA had a pet scan set up for me, was ready and Dr. Watkins said The VA had no right to order it and he would not do it unless he order the pet scan. So many visit to the hospital and them putting the scan off. I went to another DR and they found stage 4 lung cancer in both lungs and limp nodes. I have about six months and if Watkins would have done the VA scan in Feb they may have had a chance to slow it down. UNTIL THE DAY I DIE I NEVER FORGET WHAT WATKINS DID TO MAKE MY LIFE COME TO A SHORTER.

Dr. Watkins is a dedicated professional. He personally calls his patients when needed instead of relying on his staff to do it. He is someone you can trust to make the right decisions concerning your treatment.
