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.

Best Primary Care Physician I have ever had!
Been seeing Dr. Watkins for quite some time and he and his office staff have always been top-notch professionals. Good, down to earth people who are about your health. Could not ask for a better doctor.

Office Staff rude on phone
If I call this office, the person that answers the phone is rude and hung-up on me the last time I called and I was trying to be extra congenial. I understood the issue was not their fault; however I needed their help to fix the issue and help was not openly provided.

Excellent care
My husband & I have been going to Dr. Watkins for 38 years as our general doctor. We are comfortable with the office & he is very thorough, patient & will take time to talk to you & answer questions. The staff is very friendly & have always been very helpful. I highly recommend his practice.

Dr. Watkins is an AMAZING doctor! He has treated me for years for several very serious conditions as well as sicknesses, wellness exams, the works. I couldn’t be happier with my doctor or his staff/team I have seen most of the P.A.’s and they really are top of their game. The staff here go out of their way to help facilitate the needs of all of their patients and even when dealing with some pretty difficult ones I’ve watched them treat everyone exactly the same, with compassion and courtesy. This is a practice that I’d bet you would spend years bouncing around before you found anything close and you WONT find one that’s better.

The Doc is always good, but his nurse was so pleasant and efficient that it made going to the doctor a good experience.

The office staff are rude and mean spirited. The doctor isn't interested in listening to you. He lacks compassion. I have a friend who is stuck with him due to Insurance and major health issues. She has called me in tears after having to deal with his office staff. Patients complain about them but he doesn't do anything about it. I went there for four years and saw his PAs or NPs. Only got to see Dr. Watkins three times. Thank God I was finally able to switch.

The PA in this office wrote a diagnosis in my chart that was incorrect. He didn't assess me for it. He didn't talk to me about it and didn't treat me for this diagnosis. Dr Watkins refused to speak to me about it. The care is fine for basic preventive things, but not so much for sickness.
