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 would recommend Dr Wattoo.
My family and I have been under Dr. Wattoo's care for more than a decade, and we've had a very positive experience. In our interactions with him, he has consistently shown professionalism, attentive listening, and has provided us with sound medical advice. It's worth noting that his clinic operates with a small team, with just one person at the front desk. I wanted to express our satisfaction with his care, as he's been an excellent healthcare provider for my family.

Dr. Wattoo is extremely knowledgeable, takes the time to review all of the test results, and will spend the time needed to get to the bottom of a problem. Good with follow-up to see how a treatment is working, as well. I could not recommend Dr. Wattoo more highly.

Care here is not as patient centered as it once was. He does not seem to want informed patients or value other providers input now.

Dr. Wattoo is very data-driven. He reads a lot and is very well informed. He knows my situation very well and always comes to an appointment well-prepared. He will spend as much time with you as you need. The doctor does not recommend alternative treatments if their benefits are not well-documented in the literature. He emphasizes health living and nutrition over medications. He does not over-prescribe meds or tests.

I am so pleased with Dr. Wattoo's clear explanations, organized approach and flexibility with my own thoughts on my health. Always prompt, always prepared. I am healthy now but I have absolute confidence that I am in good hands should I ever have a serious illness.

He will let you speak but won't entertain any decisions made by the patient. My way or the highway. Has a zero tolerance policy for smokers or even moderate drinkers. Very old school when it comes to treatment options.

Best doctor I've seen yet. He's honest and won't tell you what you want to hear. He truly has your best interest in mind.
