Having moved from New Jersey to Lexington, my husband and I were introduced and recommended to Dr. Watson when my husband was seriously ill from COVID in November of 2020.  Dr. Watson was extremely thorough in reviewing my husband's hospital records and treatments and went over everything with us patiently and honestly.  His bedside manner was immediately felt and appreciated.  I highly recommend Dr. Watson and am also recommending my family members to use him.
