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.

Thanks be to God for Dr. Robert Watine!
Dr. Watine saved my life! At the age of 59 in Erie, PA. Dr. Watine had me get a PSA blood test! It was my first ever! I had a PSA level of nearly 12! I was referred to my Urologist Dr. Peter Lund who continued to save my life by taking a biopsy of my prostate gland which tested positive for cancer! By the time I had prostate cancer surgery by Lifesaver Dr. Kyle Schuyler, MD at Allegheny General, Pittsburgh, PA the cancer metastasized to the outside of my bladder, a lymph node. He took my prostate out, 11 lymph nodes, removed cancer from the bladder. After thar 35 Radiation treatments! If not for Dr. Watine I never would have known! Thanks abundantly to Dr. Robert Watine who wouldn't take any credit! He and I just thank God for putting us together!

Excellent care!
I always leave the consultation understanding the information I need to proceed with any health care issues I may have. The combination of listening to an issue, thorough exam, and clear explanation gives me confidence in the standard of care I am receiving. 10/10 would recommend!

New Patient
I am new to the area and I was looking for a new Doctor. A trusted friend recommended Dr Watine and I made an appointment. The office and nursing staff were efficient, courteous and very friendly. Dr. Watine made me feel very comfortable right away. He asked questions that let me know he’d reviewed my new patient paper work. He was proactive with referring me to other disciplines and I was extremely pleased and I am looking forward to receiving ongoing care from Dr Watine.

Mary Burwell in Hermitage, PA – Jan 05, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Watine?
I would not recommend Dr. Watine. I chose him because my previous doctor in the same office retired and he was fast to get a appointment. There is a reason for this. He was not friendly. Tryed to shake his hand (I know during flu season). He stared at it like a leper for 30 seconds making an uncomfortable situation. 2nd appoint I waited in the exam room for 1 hr. I left. A nurse said the dr. Should be with u soon. I said I'm leaving. Found the closet exit and walked out. Horrible experience.

After spending the last year getting injections in my back and knees without improvement I reached out to Dr. Watine, an Internal Medicine Specialist in Hermitage, for help. After reviewing my history, he ordered testing including a CT scan that confirmed a large ventral hernia. He referred me to Dr. Marcelli, an amazing General Surgeon who completed the surgery and left me pain free. Dr. Watine was so very thorough and an amazing diagnostician. I would recommend him very highly.
