    Dr Watson is very thorough. She asks many questions to understand any issues I have and follows up with her findings and advice. She is extremely personable.

    I was able to see Dr. Watson when my pc wasn't available. She was very empathic and thorough and her practical advice was very helpful.

    She is very kind and caring and willing to help her patients the best she can, and tries hard to make sure we are good, with making sure we make the right adjustments to the needs we have. I would always want her to be my doctor, even if she is more a family or pediatrics doctor. She is the best. She is able to help even out of her comfort zone.
