1st I was called in about 1 minute after a checked in. 2nd I unfortunately see a lot of Dr's. And Dr Watson is new to me. 2nd time seeing him. Most Dr's treat you like a number. Dr Watson listened and made me feel comfortable and hopefully about my future care. He was attentive and caring.
Dr. Watson was great. He listened and explained everything! Front desk staff was very good!
Dr. Watson was absolutely fantastic!
Hi. Every time I have appointments with doctors, they always explain to me everything, including if I needed surgery and give me support, whatever is good for me. And I appreciate that because sometimes when you go for surgery or something, you're kind of afraid, but they're always there to give you support and everything, and always positive. Okay. Thank you.
He listened to me and he went out of his way to help me cope with my recent diagnosis and relieve my fear, even sharing a personal story.
The visit was smooth and productive and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Care very much for Dr Watson. I was sent to him as I had problems with previous doctors. He listens to me and is courteous.

I am blessed to have Dr. Watson as my GI doctor.
A little less computer time might have allowed for more conversation. I expect next time we meet there will be more discussion and I will bring questions.
Dr Watson is patient, listens, provides comfort, explains things so I can understand.

I am overly impressed with the competency of Dr. Watson. I feel blessed that I was able have him as my doctor. He, in every way, was excellent. I admire his professionalism and knowledge.
I chose Dr Watson because of his knowledge and willingness to talk to his patients, based on previous visits or procedures with him. I provided, in advance, of the appointment, a detailed PowerPoint presentation to help him understand my medical issue, and he took the initiative to review the same in advance. This resulted in a very efficient consultation. To me, it was a great meeting with my specialist with whom I have much trust. The staff too were very friendly and helpful. I guess in summary, I could not have had a better experience.
My doctor was pleasant, informed, and showed true concern for my future health needs. He was truly professional.

Doctor was well informed about my medical needs and had a plan in place for me. Great bed side manners and listens to my questions
Dr Watson is an extremely knowledgeable provider. He provides excellent care and is a warm and personable individual
I had some blood tests ordered and was in and out within 10 mins of the order being placed and had the results within hours
Dr. Watson is terrific at what he does. In the past, his office staff has been less than helpful and more than once overwhelmed.My feeling is that his opinion and skill set is worth the wait.
Very professional, and great service.
