This group and especially Dr. Watters are exceptional. My cervical problem was repaired and now I am returning to have Dr. Watters repair my lumbar. A fine group of professionals with genuine care and concern.

Let me tell you our nightmare story with Dr. Watters. My wife has a herniated disk and Dr. Waters scheduled steroid shots. He never told us that they are not approved by the F.D.A and what damage they can cause. After each shot which is a surgery procedure he was always too busy to come by and see how the patient was doing. The third shot was on a Friday and my wife on Saturday had the worst pain she ever experienced. We got another doctor for emergency surgery. Don't use this man!

Dr Watters may be a good doctor BUT he has a terrible bed side manners. Cold unfriendly and a I don't give a heck about you.

Have seen Dr.Watters for 30 years for many knee and back problems. Now that I must have a knee replacement, I find he no longer does knee replacements. I am heartbroken!

Dr. Waters did a triple fusion of my L3-5 lower back. Great doctor would recommend him to everyone having fusion surgery.

In 1985, I totally destroyed my right knee; all four ligaments were torn in half and my meniscus rolled. After Doc Watters got finished with my knee, and physical therapy, I was back on the mat playing judo. And, in 2014, twenty nine years after he put my knee back together, I'm still on the mat playing judo... :-)

I waited two hours to see this doctor but the whole meeting wound up in less than two minutes. He rushed me throughout and did not answer my questions to my satisfaction. I was so rushed that I forgot half my questions! A doctor of his calibre and experience is expected to explain the diagnosis to the patient and answer all the queries. I'm extremely dissatisfied with the experience!!!

I have been with Dr. Watters for over 20 years. You can't find a better Doctor. He has a great nurse in Christina . Every time I need a prescription she calls in quickly.
