The whole experience was great. Having a doctor listen and understand my unique problem completely is a relief in itself. My issues are not usual and somewhat of a mystery. Dr. Watson was able to figure it out and I am feeling much better.

Dr. James Watson was great - very personable and smart. Best experience I've had at a doctor's office in awhile. HUGE PLUS - NO WAIT. I arrived early and was seen earlier than my appointment time, this means the world to me as I've wasted too many hours of my life waiting long after my appointment time to see a doctor.

Physician was great, staff was great. Parking was atrocious! Had a loooong walk to the building after I finally found a parking place. Was not aware of valet parking and they were blocked from sight by an ambulance parked near the door of the main building.

Dr. Watson is a compassionate and skilled physician. He takes time to explain one's condition and review in an educational format, one's x-rays and illness, careful to map out his proposed treatment plan. Dr. Watson is a great catch for SouthCoast. As I was checking out, I made an appointment for a family member to become a new patient. Having more help at the front window would require a bigger front window and is suggested. Having one person manage phones and patients checking in is simply unmanageable.

Dr.Watson was very thorough, listened to me and made eye contact. I felt very comfortable with him and the care he provided. Staff could of been more pleasant. I came in very nervous and worried about my condition and I found no one had a smile on their face. Very unhappy office staff.

Dr Watson is compassionate, empathetic, and listens to my concerns. To me, because I have Celiac and lactose intolerance, I consider him to be my most important provider, and his advice and medical care to be the most important part of my self-care plan and well-being.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings. Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, Provider Overall Rating, and Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office. The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
