Dr. Watts sincerely was interested in solving my health problems and proposing the proper solutions -- absolutely confidence building -- demonstrated real knowledge while patiently taking time to explain the steps to be taken.

Dr. Watts give excellent medical care and takes my concerns seriously. He doesn't stop until he has figured out what to do. If he can't help me, he sends me to someone who can. He is warm and personable and I feel very comfortable with him always. Thanks, Dr. Watts!.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Watts instead of my designated physician. He listened attentively to my symptoms and was quietly efficient. He is pleasant, easy to talk to, and made me feel at ease. Also, the diagnosis and prescription are correct and working! [Thank you.] I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Watts was our family Dr. for the past 13 years, covering everything from female exams, vasectomy, and infant curcumsision. Unfortunately, as St. Al's has taken over the clinic the quality of care has gone down. We no longer get phone calls back, can't get timely appts when we need them, and they messed up TWO of our prescriptions (wrong doses!). The care seems to be incomplete and hurried, and sometimes things have gotten missed. I've had to switch doctors, sadly, and I do not think it is Dr.Watt's fault, but the system that has put constraints on his ability to provide his previous level of customer service.

This man ignored my mother's symptoms - she died a terrible death of cancer - i had left this alone until now - my father - who thought Dr. Watts was fine - was going to him - Watts was NOT communicating w/ his other doctors - as he said he was - Dr. Watts himself held up medical records of my fathers death for several days - he is incompetent
