    Abby is such a cool doctor! She listened really well to me, helped me get the care I needed, and was easy to talk to. I am excited to continue seeing her as my OBGYN!

    Amazing!! I had just found a new doctor a few years prior, who I loved, but she moved. So, I crossed my fingers based on the reviews and made an appt with Dr. Abby Watson. So extremely happy!!! Please never leave!

    Dr. Watson was very welcoming and friendly, as this was my first time seeing her. She listened to any concerns that I had and made sure to include me in decisions on my visit, as well as my care. I am so glad that I picked Dr. Watson as my provider, she is great!

    This is my 2nd visit with her. I'm glad to be her patient. She explained all options for my care. She answered all my questions and made me feel less stressed for my future procedure.

    As I have said, she is the best. I love having Abby as my doctor. She makes not the most pleasant thing (going to the ob/gyn) something I truly look forward to.
