    Dr. Watson is an incredible provider, and hands-down the best physician I've ever had. She is astute and has an immense knowledge about the human body and chronic illnesses, never missing a beat to utilize her connections to ensure her patients get the care and support they need. The unique way she approaches health issues as a scientific observer and thinker, rather than the generic 'checking off boxes' approach, makes her stand out from other doctors. This in addition to her soft-skills in being patient, compassionate, and understanding, make her a truly invaluable asset to any practice. U of U Health is incredibly lucky to have such a high-performing provider representing their practices.

    Dr. Watson is incredibly efficient, but also very thorough during her appointments. She will talk through any issues or questions you have. If there are concerns she really does value feedback from patients in making decisions about the best path forward. I don't know if I've ever had a doctor in my adult life that I trust like I do Dr. Watson.
