The ugliest, nastiest, and worst i have been treated at this facility was Friday. I wrote my appointment time down as 11:30, it was 11:20 though. I arrived at 11:38, Rachelle one of the front desk receptionist, scoffed at me for being late. I accepted that i was in the wrong as i recorded the wrong time. She went to check to see if i could still be seen? No, i had to reschedule. I gave no problem and kindly rescheduled. That was done! My mother who is also a patient there has a prescription from a specialist that is requesting a CT scan. I was asked by the specialist to turn this paper into Trinity so that Trinity can get an insurance approval. Here is the "hold up ugly" I asked Rachelle to see that this paper gets to the referral office it is a test my mothers specialist is requesting to have done. (I am explaining as I am trying to hand the paper to her) Nope! Rachelle has a body language and facial ugliness that is like i am trying to hand her a covid filled bomb. I get the attitude filled response of I am not taking that paper when i don't know what it is. I respond with "i just told you...." i stop in mid repeating myself and step one step to the left and explain to Sarah who has ALWAYS been jovial and pleasant. I explained to Sarah that i do not like Rachelle's attitude and it is very hard to talk to her. I try to hand the same paper to Sarah, never ever having any problems with her. Sarah says "I don't know what you are trying to give me?" Now, i am thinking holy moses, does this paper have so contagious disease that I am not seeing? So Sarah is snotty and rude. (By the way, snotty is a very nasty description i understand but it is spot on in this case) So after a few silent moments and me starting to freak out about this paper and the invisible curse. Sarah explains that the order is in the computer and they recieved it on the 30th. So, no Trinity does not need the paper. So, I did the next best thing i knew to do with a contagious piece of paper, i ripped it up to throw away. It was then Sarah told me that i should have kept it. Oh well, bad moments not bad days. I have another appointment scheduled i will see if the front desk attitudes are better, hopefully so. Sarah has a beautiful smile and laugh not to use them.

The Doctors are good. The "office manager" or whoever she thinks she is can care less about you or…read moreyour health. They denied a prescription I HAD to have refilled because they wanted an appointment. I was 100% out, she told me it was my fault and could not schedule me for 2 weeks and refused to do anything further. DO NOT USE THEM if you care about your health. She could careless about whether I lived or died as long as she followed HER procedures. Refused to let me talk and wanted to tell ME how things were going to work. I fired them and went to Watson Clinic and got my refill the same day. For some reason, some Office Managers think their policies and procedures trump the patients health. This is one of them.

This review serves as a warning to anyone considering using Watson Clinic--avoid them if possible…read more In my experience, the organization has poor follow-up, is highly disorganized, lacks coordination between departments, and appears primarily focused on generating revenue. Here is my experience in detail: I initially visited the dermatology office near the main campus to have several moles removed. The first doctor I saw indicated that the removals would need to be done over multiple visits. During the first session, four moles were removed, but the doctor declined to remove more and referred me to a senior dermatologist--resulting in an additional copay. The senior dermatologist removed additional moles but then referred me to a plastic surgeon for the remaining ones--again introducing another specialist visit and copay. I was told that the plastic surgeon would be able to evaluate and remove the remaining moles in a single visit. However, when I arrived at the plastic surgeon's office in Highlands, I was informed that my appointment was only for a consultation. I explained what I had been told, but the doctor stated that he requires an initial visit to evaluate and take photos before proceeding. This directly contradicted the expectations set by the dermatology department, suggesting a strong lack of coordination within the organization. In my view, the dermatologist could have taken the necessary photos and coordinated with the surgeon in advance, allowing for insurance pre-approval and a more efficient, cost-effective process. Instead, I was told the process would require four visits: two procedures (removing two moles per visit) and two follow-up visits for stitch removal--resulting in approximately $300 in additional copays. I questioned why all procedures could not be completed in one visit, but the response was simply, "That's not how I do things." After photos were taken, I left without scheduling further treatment. The situation worsened when I later received a call from scheduling. When I asked whether the photos had been submitted to insurance, I was told they would not be submitted until another appointment was scheduled. I also learned there was a $250 cancellation fee for appointments canceled with less than seven days' notice. I requested that no appointment be scheduled until insurance coverage and costs were clarified, so I could make an informed decision. At that point, the scheduler became rude, stating, "Clearly you have an issue setting an appointment--you can just call back when you're ready," and then hung up. Based on this experience, it seems that Watson Clinic prioritizes revenue over patient care, communication, and transparency. Unfortunately, this has not been an isolated incident, as I have had similar experiences with other departments, including cardiology. I recommend that others carefully consider alternative providers to avoid similar frustrations.

She believes in preventative care and is extremely professional. Her offices are clean and well run, she truly cares about her patients, and she is easy to talk to. Since money was always an issue for me, she went out of her way to give me samples or discount coupons on my prescription medications, when they were available. She also made sure to discuss every aspect of life with me that would affect my health; such as diet, stress, excercise, family history, and overall well being. She has also given me excellent referrals and worked with my insurance companies to make sure that my preventative care is covered. Sometimes her office staff and nurses can be pushy or rude, since she is in a shared office complex with other doctors.
