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.

Personable, professional, extremely proficient
Twice Dr. Watson has found indications of serious disease and referred me to specialists who were able to treat early. Literally, he has saved my life twice.

Dr Watson was able to see me promptly when I became sick. He was very thorough in his exam and asked me several questions that he needed answers for. He will have several more exams set up and I will see him again in about one week.

New Doc in Savannah
I recently moved to Savannah from Birmingham, AL and needed to get new docs for all my ailments. My advantage plan assigned me to Dr Watson and I made an appt. He was very thorough and we went over my past history and then made referrals to the specialists I needed to see. I then did blood work etc. Very productive first visit.

My only issue was he was an hour late seeing me.
Altough he was an hour late. I did not feel rushed. And his staff kept me informed.

Find Another Internist
If you’re thinking about going to this doctor, find another one. He’s very disrespectful and has a temper. I couldn’t believe how he talked to my 88 year-old mother, and he’s supposed to be a gerontologist! Wonder how he communicates with his own wife and children? Sorry Beth didn’t have the victory!

He’s difficult to deal with
The support staff are fantastic, and it’s really convenient to have so many services in one complex. But Dr. Watson’s bedside manner is seriously lacking. He barks, he doesn’t speak. He’s condescending. He talks over you. He’s not interested in your input. And if you have input he just talks louder. Dreadful.
