He saved my life 7 years ago and continues to provide me the best care available. Throughout the years, I feel he has treated me like family and as I prepare to be transferred out (because his services have already been provided) I am hopeful to receive the same level care at Cleveland. Upon his recommendation of course.

Dr Watkins is always seeking new ways to help improve my life, health wise. He has done so much to help me get to where i am today, but continues to search new or better ways to treat my condition, and make it even better. He doesn't promise a complete cure, but wants to get me feeling as good as possible.
