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.

Excellent doctor and communicator
Dr Watson has performed two radio frequency ablations for me and both times answered all my questions and walked me through what she was doing. She asked me questions to make sure I was comfortable and is a calm and supportive doctor.

Professional, well prepared, and good at her job
Dr Watson has been wonderful for me. She listens and understands what I am going through (I am guessing this is based upon experience). It seems she really wants to help me get past my issues. The staff at CPM has been great and efficient and make my visits timely and meaningful. I can’t thank, or praise them enough.

Wonderful Bedside Manner
Dr. Watson is very personable and kind. She is thorough and helps me with my pain immensely. The front office staff are very friendly, accommodating and helpful. I have been going to Dr. Watson for over a year now and I’m able to do activities I have not been able to do in years.

I like Dr. Watson she is the best in that office so far. She pays attention to her patients health. She let me know about some medication that I shouldn’t have been taking that was prescribed by another Dr. from that office.
