My family and I never have a bad visit. The staff is always extremely helpful and patient with all my questions.
December 2, 2017Michael R.Verified patient
Very friendly staff...understood my being late due to unfamiliar area, ridiculous traffic ala LA style midday, and cheerfully answered questions. Dr. Watkins was a model of efficiency, just enough small talk, recommendations without being pushy....would definitely return & encourage others to give him & his team a good look.

September 28, 2016Chantell O.Verified patient
I recently visited this center for an annual eye exam. Scheduling was fast and easy, the front office staff was professional and friendly and I was seen within 30 minutes of my arrival time which is great. On the flip side, I felt as though the machine-based test portion felt rushed. There was no explanation as to the purpose of the machine-based tests, nor what the results were. Additionally, the reading test portion also felt rushed. The testing was completed in less than 10 minutes and I was given a sales pitch on purchasing glasses. As someone who has never worn glasses, I would have appreciated some additional information. What does the prescription I was recommended mean? How will it benefit me in terms of reading, computer use, driving, etc. How often should I wear them? Are contacts an option? Etc. I barely had a moment to think about what to ask, before the doctor was onto his next patient. Although the doctor was courteous and friendly, I've been used to a higher level of personal attention and care at my prior optometrist, where the purpose and results of tests were clearly explained, questions were encouraged and answered and I didn't feel as though I was being fit into a tightly scheduled window.

December 26, 2014Cassandra P.Verified patient
The process to get an appointment was easy. I was seen right away - although I would have been fine waiting a bit because their waiting area is nice and comfortable. The doctor was nice, thorough and quick. Quick - in a good way. He did not skip anything, he just...gets to the point and moves you through the process in an efficient way. I would totally recommend this office!
January 12, 2015Jenn C.Verified patient
Myself and 2 sons had appts back to back. We all 3 were checked out, ordered 2 pairs of glasses, an out the door in 45 mins!
Most hi-tech office I have been to. I will be going back.

It was an excellent and informative visit. The doctor explained everything in an easy and concise manner for me and my young daughter to understand.
September 30, 2014Anna Sofia G.Verified patient
It was a great visit. He had insight on issues I was having with my eyes months before my visit. I highly recommend Dr. Watson.
September 27, 2014Mark L.Verified patient
I chose Dr. Watkins based on reviews ready written about him and he did NOT disappoint! He and his staff got me exactly what I needed and I was checked in as a new patient, seen, and satisfied in 25 minutes! Amazing!
September 20, 2014Kody V.Verified patient
He cut to the chase. Normally I spend a long time either waiting for the doctor or going through every single test possible. Dr. Watkins came in knowing what level my vision should be at, then gave me a quick test to prove my eyes had gotten just a bit worse. I didn't have a long "A or B, which is clearer" test and he explained why a picture of my eye is necessary where no other doctor has before. He's very mild mannered, but thorough and efficient.

He was great and very professional.
March 8, 2013Noneshi A.Verified patient
I was skeptical when I pulled up to his Phoenix office because of the neighborhood, but once I came in, I was greeted by the doctor himself right away, had all my questions answered and felt well taken care of. He spends as much time with patients as they need and seems to really care about making sure they are happy and healthy. I highly recommend him!
