Felt like it was a written script of questions. No real want to see me or help me. Yes/no answers and constantly typing on the cpu. .

This pediatrician was seeing me (age 75!) as a favor to my regular PCP, who couldn't get me in. It was a very good experience, and I greatly appreciate the effort on the part of both physicians to meet my needs.

I have already recommended Dr. Watson to 2 other individuals who have scheduled new patient appointments with her because of the exceptional patient care I have received from her! I switched from having been with IHC provider for 35 years because I have been so impressed with Dr. Watson, Audra Langhi, and Dr. Tuttle. At the Sugar House clinic

This was our first visit with Dr Watson. Statements such as "how did you find me" and "I have several patients with POTS but I'm not an expert" made us feel unwelcome.

I really appreciate that Dr. Watson goes above and beyond for her patients. She explained her recommendation to co-test with my pap smear and what the benefits would be. I love that she thinks about my specific situation and what treatments would be best for ME and not just what is good in general. She did a great job explaining everything, especially given that it was a sensitive exam / procedure. I felt comfortable and had clarity the entire time on exactly what she was doing and why.

Dr. Watson is great. I'd only had televisits with her before, but she is an excellent provider. I've been seeing a neurologist, and Dr. Watson had clearly been reviewing my chart, as she asked me specific questions about those appointments. I've never had a PCP so involved in my specialty care. I feel like I truly have a coordinated care team, which is amazing. I feel incredibly supported. Dr. Watson was concerned for my issue and took it seriously, even though it had a pretty straightforward solution. She also provided information on how I could get additional care / treatment if need be. Overall, a great experience with a great provider.
