I was a patient of his many yeas ago. He is a horrible man who enabled abuse in my life and didn't even see that my own parent was abusing me, while literally taking that parent's word to goad me into trying to accuse my other parent of sexual abuse. HE SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING. Oh, and prescribed medication not for its intended use.

Dr. Watson saved my life. His knowledge and caring ways brought me through a very difficult time in my life. He never gave up on me and he helped find my way.

He really knows what he's talking about and adjusts medications for each individual based off their exact needs rather than give out generic medications for problems (ex: most popular brand name anti depressant for chronic depression). He doesn't push the most expensive medications but instead gets the best deal that still fills the needs of the patient.

DO NOT GO TO DR. WATSON. Not only did he not listen to my concerns on personal addiction with certain medication, over my several visits with him I have been accused of selling and abusing medication, not having my professionally confirmed diagnosis, I've been told I'm not cut out for my career path, lectured on the evils of abortion for 15 minutes after mentioning I don't use hormonal birth control, and put down consistently for playing video games. Beyond this I don't recommend taking your child to him, he does NOT understand mental illness, looks down on people with it, and has zero compassion. Please, find someone else. I might have believed him if I hadn't done so much research. He plays mind games & is demeaning. I am not the only one to be frustrated with this man.

this man should not be allowed to practice medicine he is the most neglectful doctor of any kind i have met! i saw him 3 years ago and my current therapist agrees that he has traumatized me. he treated me so badly that i am sure he is not only a bad doctor but a bad human being. do not be fooled by the friendly face because beneath it lies a monster who cannot be trusted!

Dr. Watson on more than one occassion has literally saved my life by admitting me to the MHU of the local hospital when I was suicidal. His patience and understanding of my situations and depression have been incredible. He has been available when needed. I highly reccommend him to anyone with a psychological need.
