Dr. Watson has already replaced a hip joint and a knee joint for me and this current visit we are preparing for the second hip joint replacement. Dr. Watson is very pleasant and answers all my questions fully and I consider him a great ortho surgeon because of my past surgery experience with him. Sam [last name], Dr. Watson's nurse, is pleasant and provides much information about joint replacements and also answer all my question fully.
