Dr. Paul Watson did my left knee replacement August 2025. Did an excellent job and I'm very happy with the results. I may need my right knee done at some time and only want him to do it. I was very unhappy with the way CHI handled his leaving...and canceling my 2nd recovery appointment. He is the best and I have friends that say the same thing.
