Absolutely an actual caring Dr. doing what he must have been called to do. Takes time, never rushes, and is a wealth of knowledge. Office staff is so friendly and professional also. I wish he had another 50 years to work in his field but if he reads this he would probably laugh hysterically. But I would recommend his practice to anyone and everyone.

Dr. Watkins definately broke the mold of your typical "Muskegon Doctor". I also like the fact that he trained as a DO, which means he treats his patients from head to toe, and not just the shoulders down. He will not leave the room until he knows you're well aware, and educated about your status. If your health is important than Tom is who you want to manage your care. Plus, the office staff is as professional.

In writing this my mind searches for words to describe this Dr. and staff.My family and I feel we have a treasure in earthern vessel. Dr. Watkins is a very detail and caring person.His style reminds me of the doctors that would make home visits because he never rushes in and out of a office visit. Many times his caring comes across in his fatherly words of wisdom and encouragement. He is not afraid to say I will send you to a specalist. He has the ablitly to put a smile on the sickest persons face.He is truly a gift to my family.
