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.

I was very pleased with the treatment I received from Dr. Watson. He showed interest in my case and made me feel that at last I did have some hope of feeling better.

The Doctors and staff there have tried very hard to help me when my pain was at its worst. They always find time to see me even on short notice and are very compassionate when their patients are in pain. That doesn't mean finding a short term solution. They investigate until they find the problem and try to treat it to give long term relief. It makes me feel like someone else is fighting for my recovery as much as I am.

I had several months of sciatica that my regular doctor and my chiropractor were not able to get better. I saw Dr. Watson and within 3 weeks I had a diagnosis (bulging disc) and was feeling better after he gave me a shot in my back. I was worried about getting a shot but to be honest it didn't even hurt at all. I am thankful I saw Dr. Watson and for his excellent care.
