This is the best care since I was a graduate student and could see doctors as colleagues so to speak and when I was a faculty member in medical teaching medical students. But this was just as good in many ways. I was very happy

Dr Watts was one of the best doctors I've seen. After my previous horrible experience with this issue at immediate care, I was skeptical especially having never seen this doctor. But he was very kind and I felt heard. The visit was not long but I did not feel burdening or rushed. He was informative about my issue and what my options were. He Is a great standard on how to care for patients.
