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.

Nothing but Positive Experiences
I am a retired college athlete, I played at schools outside the state of Nebraska and the only person I cared to have check & fix my injuries was Dr. Paul Watson. His bedside manner is great, he explains things well, and his entire staff has a way of making you feel comfortable. I unfortunately had many injuries, but he took care of me while informing me on all options. He NEVER pushed me towards surgery if it wasn't needed. He is the reason I was able to make it through my 4 years of being a college athlete and I would refer him to anyone. I will continue to put miles on my car for Dr. Watson to be the surgeon I go to.

I had MPFL knee surgery with Dr. Watson about 6 years ago. Initially I was just disappointed in the lack of information about the specific procedure I had, and failure to have me begin physical therapy set me back. Following surgery, I still had pain in my knee all the time and never felt good. The surgery Dr. Watson performed failed 3 years later, and I had to have another MPFL surgery. I found a new surgeon and the more up-to-date procedure done was 100x better, recovery was easier, quicker and my knee feels so much better than it did after the first surgery.

Dr. Watson took care of both my mother and my husband and did an amazing job! He fixed my mom's hip and my husbands knee and they both were very happy and are doing great. He is very personal and his staff is pleasant and helpful both before and after surgery.
