Dr. Watson is the best. I would not be there if she was not there. I've been seeing her for 20 years and never had a complaint.

The care provided was excellent. The provider was attentive, she showed sincere concern for my overall health and explained that she would take time to review my previous health records pertaining to this physician consultation. She made me feel like she understood my health history and wanted to add to my success of healthy living

Dr Paula was so much more than I expected. Wish I would have continued since the first time I saw her in 2009. I'd say she gave the best of time with exceptional responses. I'm anxious to see how well it goes. Unfortunately, days in on weaning and pray it gets easier. Pain is enormous. Dr Watson is exceptional in every way.
