Patient Reviews

The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Watterson.

“I have never had a doctor take such time and care he listened to everything I said and took notes and asked questions. Dr. Watterson was not in a rush and did not make me feel like he has to hurry to get to the next person. Dr. Waterson was amazing, then he prayed for me. The kindest doctor I have ever met.”

“I have never had a doctor any more caring and genuinely more compassionate as Dr. Watterson. Without a doubt the best doctor I’ve ever had. There is a reason why I couldn’t get an appointment with another rheumatologist, God-ordained, and got me to Dr. Watterson.”

“Dr. Watterson and Lunetta are great. I never have to wait over 5 to 10 minutes. Both are very professional. Both care about their patients. I tried 4 different rheumatologists before I knew about Dr. Watterson. The other rheumatologist only wanted to put me on medication instead of trying to get to the bottom of what my diagnosis was. Dr. Watterson is a Godly man and isn't afraid to acknowledge Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I wish there where more doctors like him in the world.”

“Dr. Watterson was the best doctor I found. Not only did he take the time to sit and listen to me extensively he really took the time to look into all my problems and help come up with a solution without just sending me away with a prescription. He’s a wonderful Christian man as well, and I was so thankful to have him as a doctor.”

“Dr. Watterson spent time with face-to-face communication, then presented other medical evidence by explaining the results of my MRI of the spine and pages of lab results. He went to the effort to get those results forwarded to my neurologist. He also made sure I had follow-up appointments with my primary orthopedist to be sure I would have the necessary follow-up to the results of the MRI of the lumbar spine.”
