“While vacationing in the area i suffered a devastating injury breaking my right shoulder and left wrist. After leaving the hospital I was referred to Dr. Watt for a next day visit so the appropriate medical follow up could be done. Even though his schedule was totally full; he agreed to see me, give his surgical recommendation and set me up with the appropriate medical braces until I was able to travel back to my home destination. Being unable to use either arm...I appreciated the quickness of his office getting me this appointment which then gave my husband and I the knowledge of how to proceed forward. Dr. Watt was very informative and patient with all my medical questions.”

Dr Watt performed the surgery as he described and well within the expectations he set. Surgery was fast and painless. I was using my hand within a couple of days and with relatively little discomfort. With normal exercise, full use and strength of my hand was completely restored in about three weeks. The staff at Orthopedic Associates was courteous, fast and professional. Billing and insurance coverage was as I was told it would be. I have recommended Orthopedic Associates to others and will continue to do so.”
