Doctor Watson is always a pleasure to see. He is so kind and caring with my son! He understands all his issues and concerns and helps us worth through every medical concern. He's very attentive to the kids and makes sure they feel comfortable! My son always gets a laugh in with Dr. Watson and it's such a pleasure to see a provider who's truly passionate about their job!
The staff, nurse, Dr. Watson, and the phlebotomists were all so helpful and kind. I really, really appreciate it.
He was very personable and made my son feel comfortable. He was very thorough, even though it was a tele-visit. I felt like the tests he is suggesting are spot on with the symptoms that my son is having.
