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.

My first interaction with Dr. Watson was late 2019, basically a preliminary check of both knees. I needed a double TKR procedure. Dr. Watson was very thorough in explaining what he would be doing and what I should expect before and after surgery. He made sure I had the correct home therapy equipment and a physical therapist based on my needs. My recovery was initially tough, but Dr. Watson was quick to resolve my problems. I am extremely happy with his attentiveness and concern for my well-being. So much so, that after two and a half months I asked about doing my second knee. He agreed and we went ahead with the TKR of my left knee. I cannot express enough how happy I am that I finally did this, and how happy I am with Dr. Watson. He did not take affront to my numerous questions, was always professional and forthright. I am happy with the response that I received from his support staff as well. Happy to recommend Dr. Brent Watson to anyone needing a Total Knee Replacement.

I am 45 years old and I have had two ACL's repaired by Dr Watson. Both have resulted in excellent outcomes. The most recent surgery was February 2020. Dr Watson gave me options for surgery and was very open and honest about what to expect and anticipate through the whole process. I would recommend the femoral block as it will greatly reduce the amount of pain you will feel post surgery. Even though Physical Therapy is not easy nor pain free I would recommend using all your available visits. The more you put into physical therapy the faster you will recover, gain strength, and stability. I had full range of motion within 3 months post surgery. I am now almost 7 months post surgery and functioning extremely well. Dr Watson is an amazing Orthopedic Surgeon and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Watson scoped my left knee only to find the bone was chipping everywhere. We scheduled surgery. He has the best bed side manner of any doctor I have had. His office called me every other day to make sure I was doing well. They were there for me in every turn of my recovery. It's not an easy surgery to recover from but there is nobody better then Dr. Brent Watson. Thanks Doc!

I've had two surgeries with Dr. Watson. Torn labrum in left shoulder, torn rotator cuff and labrum in my right shoulder. Both repair surgeries were performed w/biceps tenedisis. It's been two years since my first surgery and 7 months since my second. I am in the military and was worried several times when shoulders popped out during physical training. I am no longer in any pain (repeat, zero!) and have aced multiple fitness tests since. Doc Watson and Colleen (PA) are awesome, saved my career

I just want everyone who may need knee replacement surgery to please consider Dr. Watson. He has been a wonderful caring doctor who has made my life so much better since I had my knee replaced in October of 2015. He did an amazing surgery, the follow-up visits, and soon to be my 6 month check up... Dr Watson and his PA Colleen Mc Donnell have been so helpful to answer all my questions before surgery and after.. I felt quite assured of his skills, and my knee is great.
