Dr. Samuel D. Watkins is clearly one of the best physicians on the planet and my only complaint is that he wants my wife to cut back on the number of apple pies she bakes for me. I have continued trying to adopt the guy but the courts refuse to hear my case.

Have been a patient in Vero Beach Primary Care clinic for over 15 years. Dr. Watkins has been there about half that time and we have had a very good relationship. He is very helpful and open to discussion. A good family doctor for our whole family.

He is a very caring doctor. He is patient with you and really listens to what you have to say. He takes everything into consideration and does what is in the patient's best interest. He is very kind and never rushed. That's why sometimes patients have to wait to be seen. What a great doctor!!

After filling a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services regarding medical information, the doctor sent me a personal letter banning me from the office. The office staff is refusing to cooperate with insurance company and DHHS investigation. Total lack of professionalism. There are lots of other doctor choices in Vero Beach.
