General Orthopedics, Foot, Ankle, and Knee
I chose orthopedics because there are fixable problems with visible outcomes. I enjoy seeing a variety of musculoskeletal problems and treating all ages, from young to the elderly. It is also fun being able to work with your hands, honing a craft, and having some mastery or expertise in a particular field.
I want people to feel that they are cared for. I base my decisions on what I would want for myself or my loved ones. When you come to Orthopedic Institute, you are not just a number. It gives me great pleasure to provide individualized care for my patients.
Dr. Watson focuses on treatment of the lower extremity, from the knees on down through the feet. He specializes in foot and ankle, taking care of complex intra-articular lower extremity trauma as well as bunions and any arthritic conditions from the knees down through the feet.
In addition to his extensive medical commitments, he enjoys reading, fishing, traveling, and spending time with his wife and their four children. Dr. Watson also coaches youth soccer for his children’s teams.

So kind and the treatment have helped so much! I didn’t have to wait, the receptionist was very professional and very kind. The nurses helped me to relax and smile! Very glad I went here!
Very professional and caring. Listened to my concerns and made the best recommendations for overcoming the issues I have had for many years. Very knowledgeable and communicated effectively, seemed very interested in meeting the needs as I expressed as best he could. Staff was very thorough, friendly and compassionate. I have finally found an orthopedic doctor who looked at the whole picture of the issues that I have lived with for many years. Highly recommend!!!
I was referred to OI and Dr. Watson. From my first phone visit with his PA, office staff, consultation with Dr. Watson, surgery and all post-op visits, all expectations have been far exceeded. Dr. Watson, in particular, has been a great communicator regarding any questions or concerns, as well as his ability to relate on a more personal level.
I started seeing Dr. Watson about one year ago after having orthopedic surgery at another practice. I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am that I made the decision to switch. He and his staff give outstanding treatment in the most caring way! Half of the care one receives is peace of mind that you’ve chosen the right doctor and I now have that peace of mind.
I have had two surgeries performed by Dr. Watson and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He’s knowledgeable, explains things well, and has great doctor/patient rapport. Everyone at the Orthopedic Institute always treats us very well!
