As a patient with experience with both other civilian practices as well as military dental services I state confidentiality that Dr. Watson, his clinical support staff as well as his administrative team are all top notch. No effort is spared at any level to ensure your dental health issues are addressed thoroughly, efficiently, and compassionately. Questions are always addresses completely and respectfully. Can't imagine a better practice.

Dr Watson and staff are the best. Always professional and efficient. They deal well with my dentist phobic husband and special needs daughter and are always kind. Our family has been coming to Dr Watson for many years. Special shout outs to the wonderful hygienists, Susanne, Sue, and Michela. The young Dr Watson (Dr Patrick) is personable and seems very competent as well. Office staff, Lynn and Sherri, are always helpful and friendly. Since going to the dentist is a necessity in life, this is the place to go!

Service began on time, was expedient and thorough. Dr. Watson has been my dentist for 30 years and I have always been very pleased with the work done by him and his staff.

We've been coming to Dr. Watson for almost 30 years and we wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for our care. We moved to a mall town in the western part of VA and we have no problems driving the 2.5 hours just to be taken care fo by Dr. Watson and his wonderful staff. I love my hygienist!

Phenomenal practice! Needed an emergency wisdom tooth removal and ended up coming to see Dr. Watson. He and his son were fantastic, scheduling me the day of. Ended up having my wisdom tooth extracted that day and can genuinely say they were the best! Smooth surgery with minimal pain afterwards, and amazing staff who went above and beyond. Cannot recommend this practice enough!

What an amazing place! Cannot recommend it enough. The dentist I saw was incredibly polite, took his time and explained every step of the process. And encouraged that I listen to music to help me through the procedure. He got me straight to the first available root canal specialist, and the receptionist and hygienist were both super friendly. This is a practice I actually wouldn't mind coming back to.

The staff is great, very welcoming and friendly. They offer the absolute best dental care and make going to the dentist something to look forward to. Suzanne does an outstanding job and both Dr Watsons are knowledgeable and friendly. This should be your first choice when looking for a Dentist

Dr. Watson came through for me in a bind, my dentist was out of town for 2-3 weeks when a wisdom tooth started wrecking havoc on my jaw. He was able to get me in quickly, found the cause of the discomfort and fixed me up! Referred me to a oral surgeon and the visit was less then a hour. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming, very organized practice. I highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience. I am always impressed with how friendly and clean the office is and the staff is welcoming from the moment you enter the door. The office is run efficiently and every effort is made to make you feel comfortable while the experienced staff gives the most professional service possible. Well done Dr. Watson! You have created a great place for me to have all of my dental work done.

Dr. Watson has been our family dentist since arriving in Newport News 17 years ago. His staff and dental technicians are excellent, friendly, and professional. Despite not enjoying visits to the dentist he and his staff always ensure that I have a comfortable and stress free visit. I highly recommend him as your family dentist.

The dental care provided is excellent. My dental technician always does a thorough cleaning, but does it gently and with a minimum of discomfort. I actually look forward to my visits to the dentist!

I have thoroughly enjoyed and been at ease as a patient of Dr. Watson. Finding a new Dentist can prove to be a challenge, however from my very first visit I knew I had made the right choice. Suzanne is THE BEST dental hygienist I have ever had. Coming from a person who genuinely enjoys the dentist, my previous hygienist really made me feel like my teeth were never worthy LOL.

I was always made to feel like every tooth was inspected to provide any sort of criticality and it really ruined what I usually find as a therapeutic experience. Suzanne made me feel the exact opposite. She is such a sweet, caring and genuine person and I am never made to feel like real life doesn't exist in between teeth cleanings. I feel at ease and comfortable and am fully able to enjoy my therapeutic experience.

If you are contemplating switching from your current provider, I would highly recommend and consider Dr. Watson and ABSOLUTELY request Suzanne as your hygienist. I promise you will not be disappointed and will love your dental experiences just as I have and will continue to do.

Dr. Watson's Office has a excellent staff. The staff is very attentive to details. Everyone is really friendly especially the front office staff Lyn and Sherry. So I went in for a routine dental cleaning and it was discovered that I had a cavity that needed attention. They were able to finish the cleaning and take care of a cavity that could of festered for weeks until a follow up appointment. Thank you Suzanne, Sally, Dr. Watson, and Bria for taking care of the cavity and dental cleaning. Job well done.

So out of nowhere my tooth starts hurting, but I'm hiding it from my girlfriend, because worrying her is a death wish. But eventually, it gets unbearable, and I begin to think I have an abscess. I'm from New York, not native to Virginia by any means, so I don't have my own dentist situation setup. I'm scrambling around with my girlfriend freaking out next to me trying to find a place to help me.

We eventually find Dr. Watsons office. We rush in and immediately tell them I believe I have an abscess. They returned the favor and rushed me into an exam room, with no prior knowledge of my arrival or situation, no prior appointment arranged. They quickly determined that intact was not an abscess, but that my gums were very much inflamed and I had the tiniest food particles stuck in the wrong places, and my lack of flossing allowed them to get lodged in crevices and cause an immense amount of discomfort.

Within 10 minutes my pain had subsided and they had me feeling better. While working his handiwork, Dr. Watson was even able to instruct a pupil by demonstration. I definitely recommend such a phenomenal dentist team to all, and I will be going back. Thank You for the rescue Dr. Watson!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Watson this morning. (I've had an insane fear of dentists since I was 6. long story. Not worth going into detail.) At any rate, I have ignored issues with my teeth over the years because I just can't handle the fear, but a recently broken (and ugly) front tooth left me no choice. I had to get it t fixed I'm pleased to report that it only took me 31 years but I finally found a dentist that I won't mind going to see. Dr. Watson is a gem.

His "bedside" manor and skills are unparalleled. His assistants and staff are warm and personable. My fears are diminished. I wish all dentists were like you, Dr. Watson. Thank you for giving me a reason to smile!

I have been visiting since i was a little girl and the staff is always personable, warm and accommodating. They are a busy office and scheduling can be difficult for special procedures but in routine scheduling every 6 months is easy.
