Watson Deborah, Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr Watson is a miracle worker. Could not be happier with the results of my Septo/Rhinoplasty. Complicated procedure resulted in my ability to breathe fully through my better looking nose. All pre and post op visits with Dr. Watson were pleasant, easy, painless and she answered all my questions. She is truly skilled and competent with complicated nose surgery! Highest recommendation to her and her Team. 6 weeks post op and I can breathe better than I could of imagined and my nose looks better than I had hoped even with some swelling. 5 Stars across the board for Dr. Watson.

Dr. Watson performed a rhinoplasty on me to fix a deviated septum from a childhood breakage. Post surgery, she informed me of mistakes she made during the surgery: she failed to symmetrically shave my bridge down and she attached cartilage too far from the septum on one side, so it never actually infused with my septum. Obviously, these mistakes led to worse breathing and appearance than I had prior to surgery, which was especially upsetting because I had opted out of changing the appearance of my nose. It continued to worsen for 3 years until my left nostril had 2% airflow. I just had revision rhinoplasty and am forever grateful to my current doctor for undoing all of the damage Dr. Watson caused. If you are considering getting a rhinoplasty, I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon even if you are not changing the appearance, because plastic surgeons better understand how changing either the internal structure and/or the external appearance will affect the other.

You will not be disappointed with the attention to detail Dr. Watson offers her patients. Her bedside manor is the best I’ve ever had. She was able to successfully perform a procedure that others doctors in the past could/would not. She has me breathing normal again and I can’t thank her enough!

Very disappointed with the overall experience and I was referred by a coworker. I was so put off that I sought a second opinion after seeing Dr Watson. Her recommended course of action would have likely required her to take cartilage from my ear to fix my septum. The recovery time was quoted at 1 month. The other doctor I saw said that taking cartilage from my ear was unnecessary and that similar results would be achievable without taking cartilage from my ear and my recovery time would be a week! Next Dr Watson was very eager to get the surgery scheduled asap and did not want to discuss billing or costs until after it was scheduled. Well when I received the bill for the initial consult, the price I was charged was more than triple the rate paid to the other doctor's initial consult (and Dr Watson was in network!). This is a prime example of why rates should be clearly published so patients aren't caught off guard by doctors contracted rates that vary immensely from provider to provider.

IN NETWORK cost of the consult was 3x the 2nd opinion appointment due to her rate

Dr. Watson performed a septoplasty on me. She convinced me to get the procedure by saying it was a simple procedure. She did not warn me of any risks. 2 years later: my breathing is worse than ever, I have constant dry nose and crusting, and my nose is now permanently crooked and unnatural. I do not recommend a septoplasty unless you have serious issues; otherwise, it's not worth the risks.

Dr. Watson performed a septoplasty (deviated septum) on me. She assured me the surgery was simple; and she did not warn me of the side effects. 2 years later, my breathing is worse than before. I have numbness in my nose. And my nose permanently looks swollen and crooked.

Pleasant but cursory review of my serious sinus problem with no visual exam. I left unsatisfied, with a saline irrigator, LOL. Perhaps more interested in cosmetic surgery. Not recommended.

I went into the visit with a common problem seen by ENT physicians. It was clear her focus was on reconstructive or cosmetic procedures. Her fund of knowledge about a common ENT problem was extremely limited, her lack of curiosity, insight, and knowledge was disheartening. She did not consisder my other problems when she made her treatment recommendations. She failed to discuss with me pros and cons of alternatine treatment options. Her incompetence delayed my appropriate treatment and misery by months.
