He was very pleasant and informative! He listened to my issues and was able to make simple, easy-to-follow recommendations based on the information I told him. He gave me a quick inspection to make sure everything was fine with me internally. The office is very modern and clean, and the nurses were very nice. I'll definitely consider making him my primary urologist.

Dr. Watkins was professional and clearly demonstrated his intention to understand my situation while demonstrating compassion and a high level of expertise. Dr. Watkins is the kind of physician that people have in mind when they say " I wish today's doctors were more like the way they used to be. " I highly recommend Dr. Watkins to anyone who is looking for a physician whom they want to treat them and their family.
