Johnson City Medical Center Bariatric Center

Dr. Watson is very nice and seems genuinely concerned about his patients. His staff are all super nice and friendly! From my experience, I highly recommend Dr. Watson & his staff to anyone in this area researching or looking to have WLS.

NEVER have I had the pleasure of meeting such outstanding people in the medical field. Dr. Watson, Peggy, Donelle(I sure hope I got that right, Donelle) and Judy are very professional, yet very warm. It's difficult to find that in a medical facility today. Dr. Watson and his staff treated me with nothing but kindness and respect. I was very pleased with my visit. I feel very confident and at ease that Dr. Watson will be performing my surgery.

MY DOCTOR WAS VERY NICE THE FIRST VISIT,
HE EXPLAINED THEPROCEDURES TO ME VERY CAREFULLY, AND HE TOLD ME WHICH WAS BEST FOR ME, IT WILL BE OPEN BECAUSE OF MY WEIGHT BEING SO HIGH, I KNOW OTHERS WHO WEIGH MORE THAN ME WHO HAD LAP,, AND IT WAS HIS OPINION TO DO MINE OPEN, HE FELT IT BE MORE SAFE FOR ME BECUSE OF MY HELTH PROBLEMS I HAVE.
AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS VERY QUIET EVAN THOUGH HE WAS VERY EXPLAINITVE ABOUT THE WLS,
BUT THE SECOND VISIT HE WAS MORE JOLLY AND AS EXCITED AS I WAS, AND VERY SUPPORTIVE,.
HIS STAFF ARE WONDERFUL THEY ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE ALSO, AND ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU IN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, YOU CAN CALL THEM ANY TIME AND THEY GET RIGHT ON WHATEVER THE ISSUE MAY BE.
THE EXPERIENCE WITH DR WATSON WHEN I FIRST MET HIM WITH HIM VERY QUIET WAS A CONCERN FOR ME , I'M A JOLLY PERSON AND TEND NOT TO BE SERIOUS A LOT,, AND I EXPECTED HIM TO BE THAT WAY WHEN I FIRST MET HIM, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS SURG,AND HE WAS VERY SERIOUS WHEN WE MET, I KNOW UNDERSTAND THAT AND VERY THANKFUL TO HIM FOR THAT.
DR WATSON REALLY EMPHASIZES YOUR AFTER CARE AND EXPLAINS THAT IT DEPENDS ON YOU ON HOW YOUR RESULTS WILL BE,YOU HAVE SCHEDULED VISITS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND IF YOUR HAVING ANY PROBLEMS, HE WILL GLADLY WORK WITH YOU AND YOUR PCP TO TAKE CARE OF IT FOR YOU.
DR WATSON WAS VERY INFORMATIVE OF THE RISKS AND THE GOOD AND BAD IN ALL SURGS, HE TOLD ME WHAT TO EXPACT BEFORE AND AFTER MY SURG,ALSO.
IF I HAD TO RATE HIM ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 IT WOULD BE 9,, NO DRS, ARE PERFECT THEY ARE HUMAN TO,
I BELEIVE THAT A BEDSIDE MANNER AND SURGICAL COMPETANCE ARE BOTH VERY IMPORTANT TO ME ,IT IS REASURRING TO KNOW THEY THEY ARE BOTH, I THINK IT HELPS IN YOU RECOVERY TIME ALSO,.

I've had my initial consult, and I was so very pleased with his staff and Dr.Watson himself. Very straight forward and vey friendly. Everyone was so helpful and wonderful! My mother had Dr.Watson perform 2 surgeries on her and she said he was fantastic. I will update more as I become more acquainted with him through my testing!
