Very disappointed with my visit. Ive had to go to several doctors in the area and got tests done. I am a self pay patient and ask for costs up front. Every doctor and places that ran tests EXCEPT FOR WATSON CLINIC has been very fair and spent time with me in their office.The physician assistant spent about 5 minutes reassuring me that there were no issues as far as my ears nose and throat so that was good.I paid 197 self pay up front for this 5 minute consult.She then said let me do an endoscopy which took about 2 more minutes.Two weeks later I get a bill for 518 for the endoscopy which I didnt need. I didnt have any sinus or decongestion issues.The PA just ran up the bill that we all end up paying for in health costs high deductibles higher taxes etc.The only thing anyone in their finance office can say is that I signed the paper giving them the right to do that. do whatever procedure they want in the office without asking permission and charging you inflated prices forIve since called sever ENT doctors in the area and most price the endoscopy for under 200 with the visit charge.Beware of Watson Clinic and their billing practices.Its a shame. this is the only negative review I ever wrote and also Ive never not paid a bill in my life.

I love them. I first went for my daughter who had regular ear infections. She seen Kayla Hester who is very nice and great with my 2 year old. She explains everything. Dr. Lakhani did the surgery to have the tubes put in and since my daughter finally started talking. Anytime she has an issue they make sure to see her. I also seen Kayla Hester for sinus issues and had the same great experience. I had a few things done in surgery to help with my sinus problems and I also had a great experience with Dr. Lakhani. For my follow ups Ive been seeing Heather Wilson who has been wonderful also. They all work hard to try and figure out the root of the problem to solve it. Their nurses are all so nice. Ive been many times at this point and have only had great experiences.

Dr. Curtis office in Watson clinic is the worst. I was trying to establish with them a soon as I found out I was pregnant they gave me an appt but before that appt I had an emergency where I started bleeding and I went to ER it was a long weekend and when I called Monday to find an appt with dr Curtis no one on her office show empathy to me or even was in the disposition to give me a sooner appt. Even though I was crying over the phone because of the despair of the situation. They told me they needed to get all my files from hospital before giving me a sooner appt and even though I make sure they were getting all my files they didnt gave me an appt. If you have an emergency follow up they will not care at all. Im sure dr is good but her office is a disaster.

My daughter is 27 weeks pregnant and has had to call every time her Labs show up with a problem. Now she is anemic and we would not have even known if we had not went and looked at her Labs. Its been a week and a half and they still have not called to let us know she is anemic. Every time we have to call them to find out what we should be doing. Shes had elevated white blood cells shes had elevated red blood cells and other issues and they never call us. Maybe if we sued them for negligence they might call but I nor my family will ever go to Watson Clinic again

Watson Clinic has been wonderful in all regards - better experience than any other medical care facility that Ive been to previously. Knowledgeable and personable staff. Highly recommend.

This is a provider specific location that have a great environment and staff. This location is off site from their main building but is still part of its affliction. I enjoy the separate location because its not as busyits quiet always clean private your only there to see a special provider and your out. Its like the VIP headquarters but its really not they just treat you that way. Its never been a wait in over 3years since my arrival to this location. I am very greatful for the respect curtesy and attention to detail of their patients.Thanks to all those that love what you do for others.

I had surgery with Dr. Tarek Garas. Best bedside manner and very respectful. Office staff was great and response to needs and concerns were immediate. I love his team. The whole process was great from scheduling surgery to preoperative testing to the day of surgery was great. My surgery went well and I am recovering well. Thank you Dr. Garas and team.

Did not have a good experience today. I was meeting my son for his appointment after school but he had texted me that he was running late because of school. I told the receptionist at the front desk that he was running late but I showed her on my Life 360 app that he was on his way and not very far. She called to let the back office know but she was told to tell me that if hes15 minutes late they wouldnt see him and hed have to reschedule. It was 10 minutes after his appointment time and it was a 5050 chance so I rescheduled. I stayed to pay my bill. When I was done my son had just sat down. It was now 18 minutes after his appointment time so I decided to ask if on the off chance we would be shown compassion and could still be seen. He was also hobbling in on crutches with a broken ankle so I thought Id ask. Ask I did and even seeing him on crutches the receptionist wouldnt call back to the nurses to explain that he just arrived and told me that hes 20 minutes late and she had already rescheduled his appointment and sorry he cant be seen today. I didnt make a scene but I did make sure to still thank her for her patient services. Not sure if well keep the rescheduled appointment. And I get it... I am also in the medical field everyday dealing with late patients and more often than not working them into the schedule. They have to wait but they are still seen. And it is not even that which upsets me. What is mostly upsetting is that at my sons last appointment WE WERE ON TIME and we waited OVER AN HOUR past his appointment time for his doctor to see him. And I get that too. Emergencies happen doctors offices are busy but we didnt complain. We were understanding. We were not shown understanding today. We were shown the door.

I had a couple friends recommend Watson Clinic because I wasnt too happy with my current doctors office. They spoke very highly of Dr Garas. I know hes been out the past month so his office recommended I tried getting an appointment in with Dr Curtis office quicker regarding a concern and questions I had. Being a new patient I gave all my information to the front desk to put in the system and had my previous doctors office fax my records. Spoke with someone named Miranda twice and another woman once over the course of about a week and a half. Each time I called they told me they sent a message to Dr Curtis office to schedule me an appointment and each time they told me they would call me back to get me in. They never called me back any of those times which is why I called each time. At this point I gave up because its been another week since and Ive yet to hear back for an appointment to see the doctor about my concern. Seems like they dont care too much about new patients. Needless to say I did find a doctor in Winter Haven to get me in very quickly. Very poor communication within this office to patients and very disappointed I didnt receive any response at all after my friends spoke highly about the office to me.
