Dr. Watson’s Patient Reviews

I knew I liked Dr. Watson as soon as he looked at my crushed thumb and said “What did you do to yourself!” His combination of caring, concern and a sense of humor made my first fracture, in my 65 years, almost enjoyable!

Thanks to Dr. Watson and his wonderful staff, for treating me! I am finally able to sleep after suffering from carpal tunnel for five to six years, following army service.

I am quite pleased with Dr. Watson and his team and the quality of service they provided. They are very dedicated, professional and caring. They took care of everything. Dr. Watson is very nice and gentle. He encouraged me, during the entire process. I have already recommended Atlanta Hand Specialist to my friends. They are the best.
