What can i say. He put me on a drug that worked well but may have brain damaged me. Most people would jump at the chance at the suit i have. I live with honor and integrity, the doc gave me 5 phenominal years of overachievement. I wouldnt dream of suing him. Best dr ive ever had and im a medical famly. I used to feel so bad for him with that darn computer he hated i know. What a truly as my grandfathet tought me to be " a square fellow". I truly care for his future and hope he realises he did top notch work. ,p

He is a great doctor! Always been there for me in times of needed treatment! He has worked hard to navigate my condition! P.T.S.D. is a tough problem! Dr. Watkins has always been understanding, diligent, attentive and conservative. He does his job well and has my care as his paramount concern.

Extremely unprofessional, absolutely the worse doctor I ever encountered. His license should be revoked.
