My family loves Dr. Watkins. She has been our kids doctor from 8 years. The kids love her and enjoy seeing. Never a fight. Very enjoyable. She doesn't rush you and allows you to talk. Always asks about the other kids.

Dr. Watkins is amazing. She takes her time with my kids and explains everything in detail. She asks questions and listens.

I called her office just now. Although she has been listed as my daughter's PCP for a year and a half with Peach Care on her insurance card, she had not needed to be seen by a doctor until now, for a sports physical so she can play basketball. When I called her office today I was told she is NOT taking new patients, as your site here indicates. I didn't think we would be considered a new patient, but because my daughter has never seen her, she would not make a appt to see her now. So we had to search for a new doctor. :(
