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 was a first time patient today. dr Watkins did explain what was going on with me an answered all questions. I felt very comfortable with him as a new patient

Trust Dr Watkins
My 93 yr old husband was impressed the first time he met Dr W. because of his firm handshake (you know how men are!) Since that first meeting his trust & respect has continued to grow. He actually looks forward to seeing him again

My wife and I really liked Dr. Watkins. We found him to be low-key, straigtforward, and commonsensical. He courteously listened to our questions and answered them fully.

I had Dr Watkins treating my urology needs several years ago with Kelsey Seybold and he was a great Doctor whom I trusted greatly, just wish he was still at Kelsey as I would get him back to being my Doctor again. Mike B. Houston,tx

verry good experience,Dr. Watkins called me back on cell phone two different times to find out about problems i was having, you don't find that in many Droctors today that will take the time to call that patient back, but Dr.Watkins did.I will recommend Dr. Watkins to any body.
