“Knowledge, experience and expertise are all vitally important when looking for a doctor and Dr. Watson is certainly all those things. But he also gives patients his full undivided attention and it is evident from start to finish he truly wants to help his patients. He takes his time , answers endless questions of necessary, and delivers messages with the perfect amount of tact and honesty. ”

“Hands down the best doctors appointment I’ve had in my 52 years. We developed a plan to address my whole need to help my health. Dr Alex educated me on how to do the positive things to change my health vs telling me the negative things I should have avoided in the past. It felt like a small town doctor with a progressive modern approach. Highly recommended! ”

My experience with Dr. Watson and the staff has been nothing less than top notch. My progress under his care has been excellent. I am losing weight steadily and never any rush during long appointment times, also he is very easy to reach by email anytime I have had a question. In my 65 years one of my the best experiences in the medical field.

I struggled with my weight for years. Dr. Watson took the time to get a full medical history and zoned in on what worked and what did not work in my previous weight loss attempts. With his attention to detail he found that I struggled with certain exercises due to a history of sports related injuries. He focused a plan that worked around my life and my capabilities, teaching me exercises that would not put stress on my knees but instead strengthen them. Along with exercise, Dr. Watson took detail in what my diet looked like. He took my favorite foods and showed me how to change them to better fit my macro intake pushing me through each plateau. His kindness and empathy to my situation showed me that there are doctors out there that genuinely care for you and want you to succeed in an inclusive environment that makes me feel welcome and empowered to keep succeeding. I went from a size 3XL to a size small/medium. I could not have done it without his guidance.

I was happy to go to see a Dr. Dr Watson was very helpful.we discussed things and I felt he was concerned about my well being.He didn't just tell me what to do but offerded help in making sensible decisions! We had talked of a goal of losing 20 lbs before hip surgery and I lost 25!
The lady's Kellie and Alia always welcomed me and made me feel good when I left. They both were very informative and communicated with me very well. I felt they all worked together as a great team! I'm looking forward to a check up visit soon!
