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.

Grateful for Dr. Watson‘s Help
Dr. Watson helps me with a painful condition in my shoulder. I can usually get in quite quickly, which is a big plus. He also listens to whatever I have to say.

Amazing Doctor!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Watson for about 10 years for my back. He’s always takes the time to explain everything to me, and always so pleasant. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Very caring doc!
Dr. Watson remembered me from a visit six years earlier and was easily able to access records including a new MRI. He provided clarity and some unique ideas how to treat it and I look forward to seeing him again. Great doctor.

Most compassionate Doctor ever!
Dr Watson saw me for exacerbation of chronic back pain I had been suffering from for a month. I was in an extreme amount of pain and had problems walking, sitting, moving. I had also gone for a steroid injection in my foot that same morning. I was stressed , exhausted and in pain. Dr Watson listened to my complaint, did a physical exam and ordered PT and medication for me and confirmed that my pain was legitimate based on his exam. He was so compassionate, soft spoken and validating. He quickly came up with plan for treatment and knowing it would take time to get into physical therapy. He had me lay down on the table and he showed me exercises to start doing at home to help the back pain. We need more Physicians like Dr Watson who, not only listen to their patients, but they hear them as well. I would give him 10 stars for his care and treatment of me as a person and as a patient. I highly recommend Dr Watson if you want to be treated with respect and compassion.

I was having severe back pain and went through a series of X-rays and CAT scans with my physician. He sent me to Dr. Watson who checked me out and assigned me to a therapist. He offered a drug alternative, but I opted to try therapy first. The therapist started with an in depth interview, and followed up with weekly sessions during which she outlined a series of exercises that I could do at home. Dr. Watson checked up on me part way through these sessions and at the conclusion. As my exercises and sessions continued I began to see improvements rather quickly. On what turned out to be my last session with the therapist, I was able to announce that I had stopped taking a pain killer medication as it was no longer needed. My sessions ended, but I did get follow up calls as to how I was doing. I continue to do the exercise routines, which take less than 30 minutes, on a daily basis. I am completely happy with the results after a year and a half since the treatment began.
