Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2023
Dr. Watchman was able to see me with my cousin Becki Baker who was his patient. He adjusted my medications within a two week period because I was visiting California in that time. I live in Maryland. Dr. W is amazing and friendly, welcoming. Dr. W is very helpful, listens, and professional. He provides high-quality care. Thank you Dr. W. I can honestly say that I wish there was a Dr. Wachsman here in Maryland.
