    Dr. Watson was incredibly understanding and patient during my appointment. I recently experienced a traumatic birth and as a result, I was particularly anxious about this appointment (6 weeks postpartum). Dr. Watson made me feel seen and heard. Even though my anxiety extended the duration of an appointment that probably should have only been 10-15 minutes, she never once made me feel rushed when it took considerably longer.

    Dr. Watson is absolutely amazing! Never feel rushed and explains everything so that I understand. She's the best and her staff is just as great! That is why, even though I've moved 4 hours away, I will continue to return!

    Abby Jo Watson was extremely kind and personable. She thoroughly explain my concerns and made me feel very comfortable during my exam. She also had a student with her and allowed him to help during the exam. I will definitely come back to her for any future visits.
