Patient Reviews
Mar 02, 2022
Dr. Watson was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, patient, explained my options very well and administered my injections in my shoulder very effectively. He was very aware of my condition and my current health issues which prevented me from getting my shoulder replacement done because of kidney issues and not being strong enough to undergo surgery at this time. He may have saved my life by not being too eager to do surgery. I would and will recommend Dr. Watson to family and friends who might need his expertise.
