It's always a pleasure to meet with Dr. Watson. He listens well to my concerns and questions, and he answers in a way that is easy to understand. I feel he treats me like a partner in my medical care. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a gastroenterologist in SE Massachusetts.

I am blessed to be a patient of Dr. Watson. He is so attentive, listens intently and provides clear direction for your Care. I admire him very much.He first found and diagnosed my peritoneal cancer that had metastasized to my colon and arranged for me to be seen very quickly by the surgeon and together they literally saved my life!This was the first time I had been to the Fairhaven office and ironically his firstDay at this location as well.The office is huge!
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.
