Nothing, really. Dr. Watson and his accompanying nurse did a very good job.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/3/2025
It was a surprise to discover that my medical information was not up to date with Dr. Watson. A "computer upgrade" was the possible cause for my information not being current. Dr. Watson will contact my primary care doctor to update information.
