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.

A Surgeon with a bedside manner of kindness and humility. Dr Watkins is a gem. Life is complicated . I am concerned that he be steadfastly supported and recognized as an invaluable physician and mentor.

Dr Watkins is such a kind compassionate and unbelievably dedicated physician! I had a non healing wound from hip surgery. I saw a vascular surgeon that kept puncturing with an applicator stick thru the wall of the wound into pockets draining hematomas/seroma. Over 4 months with him doing this it lead to holes in my leg with necrosis damaging the subcutaneous tissue! Dr Watkins did surgery to remove/repair this damage! Dr Watkins is an outstanding vascular surgeon!

Ten years ago I was fortunate to meet with Dr. Watkins. At the time I was scheduled to have my leg amputated at a local hospital. Dr. Watkins asked me to give him a chance to save my leg. I did the hyperbaric chamber for 8 weeks and he's performed stent surgery on me. Dr. Watkins has guided me through all my treatments and is always available if I need him. Ten years later, I still have my leg. He is my hero and in my opinion there is no better doctor in the world.
