Scott Watson Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

My first meeting with Dr. Watson was very intense, with him going over all that can happen, weightloss goal,foods to eat and not eat,exercise and protein.He gave me a quiz to see how much I knew or didn't know. Then he went over it,he also emphasized aftercare and support group meetings. His staff was very nice and helpful. Dr. Waston has a great bedside manner and his surgical skills are unsurpassed. Be prepared to wait when you go for your visit, he is a very busy man and does get backed up with patients. He does not rush you.

After my 1st appointment I thought that he was very nice. He had a very pleasant manner and took the time to answer all of my questions. Everyone in his office shares his pleasant disposition. I do not have any complaints thus far. He thoroughly discussed all aspects of the surgery and I felt that I was in good hands. Overall I would give him a 10.

I met Dr. Watson for the first time yesterday. I must say I was very impressed with his knowledge and his treatment of me as a patient. His office staff was very efficient and friendly. They made me feel like an individual instead of just another patient. They have a very structured program both before and after surgery. I feel very confident with his skills. Dr. Watson was wonderful during my surgery and with all my follow up visits. I would highly recommend him.

i,ve only met him once so far and he seems

I,m not sure
yes

he is nice but i only spoke to him 1 time this far

Dr. Watson is a caring Dr. The more I went to him the more I liked him. He would take the time and explain everything to you.

The office staff is a caring staff, but they do need more help. The only thing I did not like about Dr. Watson was the fact that everytime I went to his office I would have to wait at least two hours. He seemed to always be behind. I guess in away that is a good thing. Because he is taking the time to explain to another paitent.

For future patients I would highly recommend Dr. Scott Watson.

The aftercare structured You go see him 10 to 14 days after surgery. Then it is 2months,then 4 months,6month. After The 6month you see him 1 time yearly after that. If there is a problem tha arises you can call him anytime. The first thing he does is let you know about the risk. I would rate Dr. Watson as the best bariatric surgeon in East Tennesee on both surgical competence, and bedside manner.

I have met Dr. Watson and liked him. He was very to the point. His office staff was great and there was no waiting. I already have a surgery date, pending insurance. I really wasn't expecting to have a date so soon, January 17!! Everyone has been wonderful.

My first consult with Dr Watson was on March 25, 2004. I was very impressed with him. He was straight to the point. He looked at my records and said I was a good candidate for this surgery. He also told me that I needed to get all my information together for my insurance and it would make it easier and faster. His staff was very nice and helpful, they said they will help me with my insurance. Dr Watson had an appointment with a doctor that day too, so the nurse had told my that I may not see him that day and ask if that was alright and I said it was. But after I got there he took the time to see me himself and that made him late for his appointment. I was impressed that he took that time with me and he didn't have too. I like him very much. He explained everything to me, the surgery and after care and risk.

Dr. Watson was very nice, made sure to answer any questions that I had and took the time to explain anything that I needed to know. He didn't seem in hurry and spent a lot of time going over things with me.

I felt that Dr. Watson was very informative and willing to answer all my questions. I was made aware of every step and process by his staff and they occured.

I felt that they were trying to help me get my approval on the first attempt. I feel like they know exactly what is need by each patient so that we will have the greatest success in getting approved for surgery, having the surgery, healing and weight loss after surgery.
