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.

Wealth of knowledge
Dr. Watson is excellent in her field. I highly value her information. She has helped my husband tremendously with his RA. I have been able to go to appointments with him and she will explain why things are done certain ways to both of us. She understands all components of drug interactions and explains it thoroughly with how meds react to each other. My husband was referred to her about 6 years ago. I am so thankful for that referral!!!

Doctor did not listen! Constantly interrupted me, even when I was answering questions she asked me. Kept stopping me so she could enter information in her computer. It was very clear that this woman had no interest whatsoever in treating me, or even trying to find out what may be wrong! A total waist of money and time! I would not recommend her to anyone!

Was referred to her by my PCM and went through the trouble of trying to get an appointment multiple times just to be told she won’t take me as a patient without any explanation as to why.

DR. Watson is an excellent doctor who takes the time to discuss, inform and help get to the bottom of medical issues. I enjoy her high energy and wealth of knowledge. She has improved my health when other specialists couldn't.

Dr. Watson listens to you and really cares about how you are feeling. When you call her office her staff gives her the messages and she gets back with you promptly.

Horrible experience! Never even got to see the doctor. Even with a TRICARE referral I cant get an appointment. Repeated calls, jump through hoops to try and get them information and they cant even bother to answer the phone of have enough courtesy to tell me they are too busy to see me! At least I wouldn't have spent weeks trying to get an appointment when they obviously have more than enough business! RUDE! RUDE! RUDE! Was just put on hold for almost 30 min and they just hang up on you!

Dr Watson used to be excellent but off the mark badly now. Erratic behavior. Rambles on lately. No examination.
