Frederick Watkins, MD

When I was injured at work, Dr Watkins and his team went above and beyond to get me the treatment I needed. When worker's comp denied me coverage just a couple days before my surgery. Dr Watkins was still willing to fix my arm and told me not to worry about payment, he just wanted me fixed before my arm had irreparable damage. And his assistant Andrea is a saint! When I was in the thick of my legal battle with worker's comp and dealing with lawyers, Andrea was extremely patient and very quick in getting whatever paperwork my legal team needed. Dr Watkins and Andrea were both encouraging when me and my family were going through legal and emotional hell. I'm still healing, but I'm a lot better than I would've been otherwise without his skill and compassion. Throughout this ordeal, Dr Watkins and his team were the best thing to keep my mind at ease second only to my family and friends. Thank you Dr Watkins and Andrea.

I was recommended Dr. Watkins from a friend. First, I have to say the nurses that take care of you for consultations, to the nurses who take care of you during the procedure, were enough to make anyone feel better, reassured and confident. They never receive enough credit and they honestly were wonderful. Secondly, as for Dr. Watkins, it’s hard to find a great surgeon with great bedside manners. It’s usually one or the other. It’s definitely both with Dr. Watkins. He takes time with you (that is probably the only reason another reviewer said they had to wait) and addresses every concern you have. I will gladly wait because he spent the time explaining every detail with me. I’m extremely happy to have found this surgeon. Please read other peoples reviews. Like many have said I also find him to be extremely caring as well.

I got very lucky with having Dr. Watkins as my hand surgeon. He has done everything perfectly and has kept my pain to a minimum. His office is clean and beautiful and his staff are absolutely amazing! I feel blessed to have them all taking care of me and helping me along the way! Because I tell you what, it’s no fun having your finger ripped off and having a broken ring finger at the same time. So thank you Dr. Watkins and team! You guys are the best!!

Dr. Watkins is great. I didn’t end up going with him because he doesn’t take most health insurance. And the wait times during the visit were crazy long even though the office seemed empty. But overall, I liked him, his manner and expertise in the hand surgery field.

Dr. Watkins and his team are great. He addresses patient's concerns pre and post surgery. I was terrified prior to my procedure, but because of the time he spent with me going through my concerns, I was able to get through my fears. It is 3 months now post surgery and I am happy with the results. Looking forward to do some more with him soon.
