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 have been going to Dr.Watson for many years and I think she is wonderful. She is professional and always makes me feel like a real friend.

Compassionate, loving, attentive and knowledgable
In all my 47 yrs, I’ve never met a doctor like Dr. Watson. She cares about your physical and mental wellness. She listens to her patients and works with them to find and understand the best solution. The Lord is using her to help so many. She is a true blessing!

Great Dr Aweful Staff
The Dr. Is great, but good luck getting in contact with her and dealing with very un professional, incompetent staff. The staff is a joke. I really wanted this Pcp to work and am disappointed that Ive wasted my time. Not recommend.

Dr. Watson has a beautiful disposition. No matter how busy the office gets, she continues to give each patient the attention needed. She never rush you, or ignore concerns you may have. She's patient and kind and clearly loves her position as a physician and do it with such grace and professionalism. I've been a patient of Dr. Watson for years and her mannerism has never changed. She's a true blessing to the community.

Dr. Watson is very compassionate about her pateints. She is very attentive to what is relevant to the patient's condition. She listens and does a through assessment of the total patient. She wll continue to follow up with you and make sure that she gets results, even if she has to refer you to another specialist. I would highly recommend Dr. Watson to be my doctor. She is what we need in today's high paced medical field that actually cares about her patients. You are AWESOME!!!!
