I met Dr. Conway Watson for the first time this visit as I had been admitted to the ED over the weekend and needed followup care from my PCP, who was unavailable.

She is very easy to speak with, she is just a great person in general and a wonderful doctor. I would assume if there were any negative reviews of her it was an off day. I have seen her for years now and I hope she never goes anywhere. There are few providers like her.

Dr Watson became my doctor about 4 years ago I was having some really bad mental health concerns and she took great care of me and gave me hope. Since than I've made many changes both health and personal. I hadn't seen her in 2 years and she remembered even my personal struggles and celebrated with me my growth. I will be sad when I have to change to an adult doctor I'm 19 now

Dr. Watson and her team provide an atmosphere of kindness, professionalism, and knowledge that helps patients move through their health care options side by side in a safe caring way. I trust her and her team to care for me as I transition into my senior years. I feel comfortable to talk to her about very private issues. She takes my opinion and thoughts seriously, incorporating those into my care plan. Never have I felt rushed or that I have too many questions. Her knowledge is there for myself, her students rotating in the clinic. She and her staff are the best. IÕm so happy she is there for me.

She always goes the extra mile to help me understand everything clearly. Because of my deafness, she communicates by typing in a large font on the computer screen. I have no difficulty seeing what she is saying in this simple but effective communications process.

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.
