This Dr. would not refill a prescription that helps me after the loss of my child. I will never ever understand his decision. Other family members agreed, that was cold and uncaring. Mothers don't get over the loss of a child in four weeks.

Dr. Watanabe is extremely thorough, provides evidence based treatments and never rushes through your appointment. For the first time in 60 years I feel confident about my healthcare provider's care and treatment. I feel blessed to have him overseeing my healthcare!

I was referred to Dr. Watanabe to schedule an appointment for my ailing grandmother. Dr. Watanabe and his staff were absolutely amazing. My grandmother came from Arizona for treatment and were astonished by Dr. W. He went well above and beyond their expectations and the level of care and conern they were given. The treatment that they couldn't get in 6 months time out in AZ, took Dr. W. and his staff 3 days to diagnosis and refer my grandma to IU Med Center for the surgery that saved her life. 3 days after her appointmet with Dr. W. she was in Indy having surgery. We could never repay Dr. W for saving my grandmothers life. We are eternally grateful. God Bless Dr. W!!!
