    Dr. Watson is a kind, compassionate physician with a very broad knowledge base. She listens carefully to what I say and makes sure she has addressed all of my questions before I leave. I have no reservations about recommending her to others for care.

    She is the best! Very caring, takes the time understand how I feel and what my concerns are. She presents options, explains the pluses / minuses of each and we decide together what's next.
