I have seen Dr. Watson for a number of years so we know each other, quite well. The only thing I've noticed in the more recent visits is great sense of time pressure on the providers.

I think Dr. Watson, Alice Watson, is one of the finest doctors I have ever met in my life. I have been a registered nurse for 42 years. She is knowledgeable. She explains things perfectly and she has helped me tremendously. I would recommend her to everyone. I can't say enough nice things about her.

This was an annual visit. Dr Watson referred to matters that were previously discussed so she obviously revised my file before the actual visit. Only major diagnosis in the last couple of years was diabetes which she brought up without prompting and she asked for a status and made sure to check my feet for any related issues. She gives a verbal description of what she sees as she examines me and always asks if I have any questions. She's very thorough, respectful and I would recommend her without hesitation.

I feel such comfort under Dr Watson's care. She remembers my circumstances, she communicates well. I don't feel like a number, but a human patient she cares about. I appreciate that there was a teaching opportunity for a medical student learning under Dr. Watson. I like the consistency of care in this practice.

I have always been extremely pleased with the care provided by Dr. Watson. She is friendly, knowlegable and thorough in her examinations. Things that need to be dealt with are in a timely manner without going to extremes in treating things that will resolve themselves in time. This is the standard to which I measure every doctor.
