Dr. Michael Kenneth Watterson, MD

I didn't receive any treatment , left his office with BP190/90 said I had old fashion arthritis. Covered with itching hives. went immediately to closest ER spent 3 hours with IV to treat BP that was 210/90 If you are over 75yrs old avoid him!!!!

She has been seeing this crack pfor 2 yrs, was injected with the influenza vaccine while pregnant and something went wrong, my Daughter could not walk without assistance her feet swelled turning a terrible shade of red, not to mention all the othe aches & pains in her body so he tells he she has arthritis. Now we are 2yrs in still has no answer but start this lupus medicine, I dont know if u have it but take the medicine. Who treats without a diagnosis. Needless to say glad he is gone out of that office off my Daughter's treatment and hopefully there is someone in that office or elsewhere that can give my Daughter the answers she has waited for 2yrs for.

The office staff greeted me with smiles and walked me through the new patient appointment easily. I only waited 10 minutes and was taken to an exam room with no delay. Dr Watterson came in shortly thereafter and listened intently while I explained the reason for my visit. He must have spent 45 minutes with me, trying to unravel the mystery that is my immune system. I was in wheelchair and he took the time and care to wheel me to the lab for my blood draw, talking to me all the while. His medical knowledge ran deep and it seems so does his empathy and encouragement and compassion. The anxiety over changing rheumatologist's is no more!

My visit was a good experience. Dr. Watterson did have a tick of rocking back and forth when he was in depth thought about my case but he took his time to review all the test results from the referring doctor. He asked lots of questions and listen to all my concerns. Turns out I do not have any autoimmune disorders that the referring doctor had previous diagnosed. I did not feel rushed at all. Very impressed with the staff and Dr. Watterson!!!

How can a Dr just look at you and diagnose you? No blood work, no exrays .Would not let me or my husband tell any thing and if you are a Lyme disease patient don't go to him he said he did not want to hear about it . Lose weight and deal with age and wear and tear on bones . Should have known something was up when his nurse began explaining about his behaviors before seeing him. Strange appointment. I don't think he is comfortable with people maybe? Very disappointed and still in pain witch was never discussed along with other things.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Watterson for about 2 years. From day one he has been very professional. I see the Nurse Practitioner Cathrine Clarke, she is really good and sweet. Thumbs up to the faculty too, always a welcomed visit at his Knoxville office.

Dr. Patterson is a very knowledgeable and caring physician. I have been seeing him for eighteen months and have been very pleased with his medical diagnosis.

First time visitor after moving from Illinois. Was Impressed with the nurse (Jennifer) and Dr. Watterson. Was not a 5 minute visit with Dr.He took the time to listen to me and my problems of which there were more than one.Also did x-rays and blood work on this the first visit. No comparison to my previous Rheumatologist in Illinois. I had no complaints whatsoever. And he didn’t rock in his chair like a few of the reviews said. And if he did rock it wouldn’t have mattered to me.You could tell when he was quiet he was thinking I think he is a very good Dr. .Be seeing him in 3 weeks for 2nd visit.

Very knowledge in his field. Kind and Caring.

Traveled 98 miles to be seen by a dr rocking back and fourth in a chair the while time his exam consist of looking at my hands and ankles then saying I don't see anything wrong.I was diagnosed with firomyalgia years ago he went out of room came back handing me a paper about fibromyalgia and walked out as if I had no clue what it was I will be contacting my family dr and let him know I will not go back to that goofball it's a shame my insurance will be billed for nothing.

First time I saw him I was not empress at all.Hr barley spoke he didn't touch me and he rock back and forth the whole time in his chair.And keep wiping his knows with his hand .He look at me from across the room barley and took my 50.00$ and told me to come back in six's months,But he was better the seocound time.But I do miss doctor bell

This office does not call to follow up. Dr.Watterson is a very nice man. He spent a lot of time going over everything and answers all my questions. He had s great bedside manner. I would recommend him to any one

Dr. Watterson never keeps me waiting, & truly acknowledges that I have fibromyalgia. He is understanding, & is trying to help me improve my quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. Watterson.

Hands down the worst experience I've ever had with a physician. The appointment began with no eye contact and him rocking forward and back in the chair. I have no doubt that he has the necessary degrees and paperwork to be a doctor, but, in my opinion, he is not qualified to work with the public. Every interaction I ever had with him was extremely uncomfortable. He doesn't address questions directly. He never let me finish a sentence, I was stopped by him saying" yeah, yeah, I got it." I would STRONGLY suggest finding another doctor if at all possible. Please don't make the same mistake that I did.

Best Dr by far. Found my arthritis pain was caused by ulceractive colitis. Wished he didn't move to knoxville.

Great doc
