Dr Watson repaired my abdominal wall and placed a biological mesh. It has been a year ago and I have chronic abdominal pain. Every time I’ve reached out to him, he ask me, “what’s the matter now?” I’m so tired of him acting so superior to me. He doesn’t care that I’m in pain a year after he did surgery on me. I’m so disappointed. He finally sent me to a pain management specialist at UTSW, and it has taken 3 months to visit with him per telehealth. Another dead end. This has effected my quality of life and it’s not acceptable. Please do your research before letting him do surgery on you. I wish I would have.

This was a referral Dr. to me! First, he was late! okay he's a doctor(understandable) He walks into the room(get this sentence) He was sweaty, hands sweaty and MOST WORST NO CONVERSATION! look like he put in anything to wear to work. Lastly, he exam me (get this) told me I can sit back in the comfortable chair. He sat in his chair in front if the computer and notated his entire account in me without talking this went in for exactly 12 mins (yes I timed it) this never happened to me that a doctor exam you and no conversation to the patient. I normally dont do reviews!! BUT THIS DOCTOR NEED NOT TO PRACTICE ANYMORE. AS WELL AS OTHER DOCTORS NEED TO READ OR REVIEW THEY'RE REFERRALS

Dr Watson has operated on several family members of mine, including myself. He is the best surgeon in the UT system. Very professional

I had three things I wanted done in separate procedures. I started with smallest first. Good thing. Will not go back. He won't answer your calls after he screws up. As others have said here, go somewhere else.
