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.

The best .
Dr. Watson has always listened to me. He explains what is happening with my body when I give him my symptoms. He orders tests that are necessary. He has never ordered a bunch of unnecessary tests. He has been good about letting me know if I need to do a follow-up with him. Otherwise, he tells me to let him know immediately if there's a reaction to a medication. Otherwise, I can do visits as I need. He is also quick to advocate for you if a medical specialist he has referred you to doesn't follow-up (get you in for an appointment to the specialist).

A great doctor that you can trust. I had my first child by c-section by another doctor, and the recovery for that was so hard and scary. I was scared to have to go through it again for my second under Dr. Watson's care, but he really tried to ease my mind and my birth experience ended up being a great one! I was surprised at just how fast and well I recovered under his care as well!

Dr. Watson was very friendly when I went to see him both times. However I went in to see him because I was not feeling normal and my cycles were not returning after stopping birth control. We did a pregnancy test which as I thought it would, came back negative. There was no follow up. A month later I went to another provider because I still wasn’t getting better and I felt like I hadn’t been listened to with Dr. Watson. Found out I had issues with my thyroid and potentially had PCOS.

I could not have been happier with the choice I made to have Dr. Watson as my doctor! I saw him for 2 pregnancies, and then he treated my children while we lived there. The hardest part of moving away from Rexburg was knowing I probably wasn't going to be able to find a doctor that was nearly as good. While pregnant he happily answered my many, many question at each appointment. He always made me feel very comfortable. He made me feel like he cared, I wasn't just another patient. Wonderful Dr.!!
