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.

Dr. Watson is a very professional and thorough doctor.

Dr Watson is God led and he always prays before and after everything .He also asks first just in case someone don’t want too but that was the reason I loved him. He knows what he is doing ! I had numbness down my arm and muscle spasms with headaches. He worked on me and all is well. If ever I met a doctor that know his stuff it’s Dr Watson!

Dr. Watson and his staff are attentive and provide patient-centered care. My pain ranged from 8-10 on really bad days and after my procedure my pain is 2-3 on a really bad day. Thank you Dr. Watson and staff.

I would recommend Dr. Watson. I was suffering with continuous head aches and discomfort related to a MVA. The procedure I had was cauterizing nerve endings in my cervical vertebrae. After recovery, I was able "ease" back into work. It's going on two years now, and I am doing pretty good. Sincerely, Carrie
