Dr. Timothy Carlton Watson, MD

I was highly disappointed at my appointment with Dr. Watson today. My impression is that my issues were not severe enough to warrant his concern or care. While I am certain my back and spine issues are moderate compared to some others', his appreciation for ANY patient's pain should be apparent. Not only did he seem unconcerned but he put me through a number of physical exercises to test range of motion, flexibility, etc. at a very rapid and forced pace, which seems inappropriate for someone coming in with low back pain. I am not impressed with Dr. Watson, nor Sierra Pacific Orthopedics.

The staff was wonderful. They were friendly and curtious. The doctor however seemed completely detached during my appointment. The examination took less than a minute. When I tried to ask a question or share some of my concerns I was completely cut off by the doctor. This happened twice during my appointment so I just gave up. ð???

Dr. Watson took on my case in early 2000, when no neurosurgeons would touch it. It was my cervical spine. I had been a very active, working single mom, who ended up bedridden for a year after a car accident. He was soft spoken yet confident and very realistic in my chances for a full recovery. He gave me hope, then delivered. Sixteen years later, I have my life presently and for the past 16 years because of his excellent care.

Finally a caring MD who did surgery and now I'm pain free and cured!!

I never thought I could sit without pain and that I would be miserable. Following my spine surgery I can walk, sit and enjoy traveling again. I only have wonderful things to say about Dr. Tim Watson and his staff. Two other Dr.s told me They couldn't help me but he made me whole again. God has blessed this skilled surgeon.

Successful lumbar fusion -- can now sit comfortably. I have a completely new lease on life. Though he was quiet at first, I could tell that, as my doctor, he really cared about fixing my problems

Lumbar disc surgery was very successful. After 3 years I am finally pain free. Quiet personality but very patient and professional.

I finally got an accurate diagnosis. Feeling 100 times better after back surgery.

He seemed very unconcerned during a consultation regarding possible neck surgery. He didn't give me any information that I could make a decision on. His bedside manner leaves much to be desired. If I do need surgery eventually, I'll search out someone else.
