Dr. Watson is thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. Office staff is friendly and efficient. My questions were answered to my satisfaction, and instructions were clear. I anticipate being asked if I would refer a friend to Dr. Watson's office. Well I already have! 2 friends actually. Definitely recommend her services.
