Patient Reviews
Jun 06, 2024
It has been more years than I can count since I had such a positive visit with a doctor! Dr. Watterson was very caring, he took his time, and he literally made me feel like I was the only patient in the world at that moment. I've not had such a comprehensive exam and questions answered as I did with this doctor. I have literally been thanking God for leading me to this person! I have not felt as optimistic and hopeful about my health as I do now and it's all thanks to this man! Best of all? He is a very Christian man who is not afraid to share his faith!!!
