Testimonials —

"Dr. Watson performed a Lapiplasty procedure on my left foot 3 Aug 22. I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Watson and his team have been exceptional every step of the way. Dr. Watson's expertise and professionalism immediately put me at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of my questions, and address any concerns I had. His knowledge and confidence in the Lapiplasty technique were evident, which gave me a sense of trust and reassurance. The surgery itself was a success, and I've experienced a remarkable improvement in my foot's alignment and functionality. I'm now able to resume activities I once thought were no longer in reach. Dr. Watson's precision and skill in performing the Lapiplasty procedure are exceptional. Not only is Dr. Watson an outstanding surgeon, but his bedside manner is also exceptional. He and his team provided me with compassionate and attentive care throughout the entire process. They made sure I was comfortable and well-informed at all times. I'm grateful to Dr. B. Collier Watson for giving me the opportunity to regain my overall quality of life. If you're considering a Lapiplasty procedure or any foot-related surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Watson. He is a true expert in his field, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Dr. Watson, for your dedication and commitment to improving the quality of life for your patients."

"I've been here for my husband's needs but never my own until yesterday. Dr. Watson was very friendly and addressed my issue without making it more than it was or trying to garner more from insurance. He listened to me and explained what he felt and knew the issue was and explained my options to fix it. I trust his knowledge and experience. The tech who was to fit me for a device was honest and saved me money by recommending another source for the exact same item as my insurance did not cover it. Hughston is a great facility and everyone, from check in to drs, aids, techs, were friendly and welcoming. Thank you for all you do."
