Waited an hour past my appointment time. Waited an additional 20 minutes because their printer broke while I was waiting for a prescription for blood work. The doctor was great but the wait time was terrible.

This doc listens very closely and genuinely cares. She followed through with a follow up question and messaged me the answer. I felt as if she really cares about me as a person and not just another patient.

Dr. Locklear was extremely attentive and provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed choice about birth control based on my medical history. She was incredibly kind and took the time to address all my questions in addition to breaking down medical jargon in a way I could easily understand. I get very comfortable expressing my concerns and asking questions. 10/10 recommend!

Dr Watson-Loklear is wonderful! I got established with her in the fall of 2021 with a semi complicated uterus and a EIN diagnosis from a previous provider/company where I moved from- she took detailed notes, looked over all my past and recent medical history, and we came up with a new plan to do another Surgery ( with Dr Seawerd who is also phenomenal), remove my IUD and see what happens...today I'm pleased to say I'm in my first Trimester and my first Pregnancy appointment with Dr Watson-Locklear was nothing shy of informative, and calming. She answered all the questions my Husband and I had and was so happy to see us back in her office with a positive pregnancy test! My next appointment is in July and I can't wait for our Doctor/Patient relationship to continue to bloom! Thanks for having such amazing and caring Providers Orlando Health :)

I love Dr. Watson and her staff! I just wish they could do blood draws and ultrasounds in the office, as the lab and imaging center downstairs always have an extremely long wait and it's hard to coordinate testing and follow up appointments between downstairs and the office.

Dr Meredith Watson-Locklear was well-prepared for my appointment, had looked at my medical history and had the information for my treatment. One of the best medical visits I have had. Afterwards, I had questions about my prescription and an internal referral and her nurse, Liz, took care of this for me. Liz called me back to make sure I knew it was taken care of.
