Patient Reviews
May 05, 2023
I asked a family physician friend for a recommendation for hernia repair and he suggested Dr. Watkins. While I had a 3 x 5 card with questions in my hand at the initial office visit, he answered every single one without my even reciting them. I laugh because his last comment was, 'and by the way, I don't use staples', which was my last question ( he used crazy glue). He ordered a 'pain ball' which no one seemed to know what it was, except for the nurse's comment 'your surgeon must be Dr Watkins', but that single detail saved me MUCH post-surgical pain. I would recommend Dr Watkins for that reason only! The surgery was on a Friday afternoon and I was back to work in the office by Tuesday- this was not any 6 weeks recovery like I had been counseled by another surgeon. I highly recommend this talented surgeon.
