I've been with Dr. Watson for years. There is no other provider I would want for his specialty.
He listens. He cares. He solves problems.
everyone that I encountered was PHENOMENAL, truly went above and beyond to help me. Dr Watson was fantastic, personable, kind and caring and explained in detail. His front desk is the BEST front desk check in and check out ever.

I had a wonderful first experience at my first visit with Dr. James Watson. He was knowledgeable, professional and relatable which I greatly appreciated. The office staff was awesome too.
The office staff were extremely concerned for my health and well being. I had a medical issue that required ER treatment at Charlton. The Medical Secretary made certain that medical needs were met. She went above and beyond to insure that I got treatment in the office until I went to the ER. What an efficient and caring office, indeed! Thank you ALL!
No improvement necessary. I am always treated with respect and I receive excellent care.
Dr.Watson was wonderful. He was fully aware of what is going on with my health. Had reviewed notes from other doctors. He also explained to me what I needed to do go forward in a positive manner with my health. Also his staff member [Name] of who kept in contact with me until I could get into see Dr. Watson was outstanding.
Dr. Watson made the call himself (!) instead of the usual pre-registering on the phone. I truly appreciated that.
Dr. Watson listened very well to what I had going on and he was educated and informed about my previous GI history. I love this doctor. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Dr. Watson was professional, friendly, and very helpful! First visit with him.

Provider is an excellent doctor. Always well informed, personable and listens to all concerns.
Dr. Watson is great. He really listened to me, and I didn't feel rushed, and I felt comfortable with this recommendation for next steps.
Dtr Watson is the best! He has my full trust .
Dr. Watson's office was very professional and very accommodating. We had over 20 inches of snow and he made it possible to have my visit by going to telehealth because we normally do it face-to-face. So he was very accommodating in making sure I saw him at the right time pursuant to my appointment. So I'm very thankful for that.
The parking lot is tight and hard to navigate. The information desk was not easy to approach with questions.
Yep, the appointment was timely. The doctor was great. Had all the information in front of him. It was fine. The appointment worked out really well. Thanks. I appreciate it.

Excellent like always!!
Checked in and before sitting down in the waiting room I was ushered into an exam room. Immediate attention extended.
Dr. Watson was extremely thorough with his exam and with his explanation of my condition.
It is always a pleasure to visit Southcoast Health in Fall River.
Doctor is so good that it's hard to see him . He is very thorough and I always feel so much better after talking with him The women who checked me before the doctor were very good and concerned. Check in is easy.
Dr Watson is really great and always asks about how I am feeling beyond just my stomach. The new office space looks super nice!
Dr. Watson is always willing to listen and easy to talk to, makes his patient feels very comfortable.
The doctor is phenomenal and exactly why I see him. Listens intently, easy to talk to, very informative and understanding. However, the staff out front was very rude, chastised me, and I was humiliated. It was one woman, the other tried to help and I slid over to her as she tried her best to subdue the negativity. This was not professional.
The support staff was friendly & knowledgeable about the service they provided. Dr. Watson is very personable. He explained the results of my MRI, answered my questions in detail and discussed a future exam. When I asked about alternatives to my current medication he reviewed all the possibilities and recommended I try another medication that had fewer long term effects, to determine if it would provide the same results. I have confidence in Dr Watson and appreciate the medical care he has provided.
Dr Watson is just a great doctor. Always knows how to treat anything I have wrong. Everyone in the office smiles and are very professional.
Great doctor - took his time to review my medical history and explain my past and future medical care.
Dr. Watson listened carefully to my concerns and was very professionals. I will need to communicate with him on the portal with another question. He always responds to my questions on the portal.
It was a good experience with Dr. Watson.
