She has worked with me to manage kidney stones and to date no stone since her diagnosis and treatment. She listens and takes into account your entire medical and personal history and truly care about her patients.

Dr. Watkins has managed my handicapped sister on peritoneal dialysis for about 4 years. She is super nice, well-trained, and very down-to-earth. We consider her our "Super Doc", and a great friend! The staff at Reliant Renal Care is exceptional, and we have been pleased with Baxter as supplier of her dialysis supplies.

I so Love Dr. Watkins,to me she is the best doctor in Atlanta. My first visit with dr. Watkins was excellent she answered all my questions, she listen to all my concerns and she showed me that her patients are her top priority and not the C A S H. I wish I could have her as my primary doctor. I truly trust her. I would recommend all my friend and anyone else to go see doctor Watkins. AWESOME DOCTOR!!!!
