“I feel that Dr. Watt was fully concerned and responded skillfully to my concerns and needs during my recent surgical experience. I further feel that his intervention was very timely and effective. I am very pleased with Dr. Watt's expertise and professionalism dealing with my recent healthcare concerns and needs. My recovery is progressing more than satisfactory aided by the very competent rehab specialists providing my care.”
“Dr. Watt is outstanding!... I was treated for rotator cuff surgery on my right arm and he did a great job. He is a very talented and caring doc and I have referred folks to him. I just finished PT with you in Destin and have had a great experience in gaining back more range of motion. Thanks for making a difficult time an overall good experience!”
“Dr.Watt has done an outstanding job of taking care of my shoulder issues. I've had both shoulders replaced over the last year and now have full range of motion in both shoulders. I haven't this much flexibility in my shoulders in years. The rehab and therapy team were also a great help.”
“The treatment received was excellent. My left wrist is as good as new since the surgery! The follow-up care for the rehab of my right arm and left wrist has been a tremendous help. Both Matt and Tyer are very competent and caring.”
“All the staff and Dr. Watt were very professional and friendly! I would recommend their services to anyone!”
“Great visits at both offices, pre-op and post-op was nurses made me feel very comfortable and personable. Made sure I was ready for surgery and checked on me the next day at home. Dr Watt is super, took care of me on all my visits and made sure my physical therapy treatments were successful.”
“Had a 'trigger finger' issue with tendon of one finger of left hand + some arthritic conditions in right shoulder requiring shot of cortisone. Dr. Watt repaired my left hand & finger condition through surgery. After some physical therapy by excellent therapist, I have full use of my left hand which is totally pain free. In addition, the incision scar is barely visible after one month. Good Job! ”
“After almost cutting off my thumb, I turned to the only fellowship-trained hand surgeon in the greater Ft. Walton Niceville area. Dr. Watt was awesome. He took the time to fully explain how badly I'd injured my thumb then enthusiasticly explained how he would reattach the ligament and nerves. He and assistant Ben took there time to carefully answer all my questions. Their confidence and patience alleviated all my fears. Dr. Watt was able to rearrange his schedule to get my surgery scheduled within days. On the day of the surgery Dr. Watt's infectious enthusiasm and positive attitude calmed my fears. Dr Watt's well practiced skills were superb in reattaching my thumb. His interaction and involvement with my hand therapist (Tanya Phillips) was instrumental in my full recovery. Take it from me "you are in good hands" with Dr. Watt and his team if you need hand surgery. Thanks to Dr. Watt, Ben, and Tanya for helping me make a full recovery. ”
“Love this group! Dr. Watt is awesome! My care went smoothly and recovery has been good. I would recommend Dr. Watt to anyone for carpal tunnel surgery.”
“Dr. Watt was a pleasure to deal with. My elbow issue from start to finish was a breeze with him. I am extremely satisfied with the professionalism and attention to detail provided!”
“Knows his business, was great for me.”
“Dr. Watt was very attentive and knowledgeable, very professional and allowed plenty of time for my appointment.”
“Dr. Watt is awesome. I had a long and drawn out diagnosis and a bad experience at another orthopedic group. From the moment I met Dr. Watt knew it was the right move. Everything went smooth starting with the appointment then to Amanda the scheduler etc. I had a hook of the hamate fracture and a TFC tear and from day one I felt informed and involved. I am now 8 weeks out from surgery and recovering well.”
“My experience was amazing! Dr. Watt, Ben, and the entire staff had me laughing all the way until I went under; I was probably still laughing in my sleep. They are super friendly and welcoming! I felt as if I had known them forever. I look forward to my next upcoming experience for the other hand in the very near future. Keep doing the great things you do!”
“It has been an excellent experience. I feel confident that with Dr. Watt’s care and guidance, my recovery will be as complete as physically possible.”
“Treated by Dr. Watt for "Trigger Finger.” Condition has totally cleared. Hopefully, I'll never have to be treated for this again. You're office staff did a great job maintaining the doctor's schedules. I'm always very punctual with my appointments, but I'm shocked when a physician's practice is equally committed. Thanks for your help.”
“This whole experience has been very eye opening. Although I played multiple sports the majority of my life and have always been extremely active (especially outdoors), before this injury, I had never broken a bone. Every person I met who was involved in my process of recovery was exceptionally well-mannered, well trained, and comforting to be around, especially Dr. Watt. He made me feel as though everything would be okay no matter what steps we had to take. In my case, those steps meant surgery and possibly physical therapy. After following "doctor's orders" as best I could, my injury healed well enough that I didn't need additional physical therapy. The gentle reminder from Dr. Watt that I am not invincible was much needed and appreciated. :) It's been a little over 3 months since my surgery with Dr. Watt and my wrist feels great! I would highly recommend Orthopaedic Associates to anyone and everyone. Thank You Dr. Watt! You Rock!! :)”
“Last November, while decorating my Christmas tree at our home in Ohio, I slipped off the couch arm I was foolishly perched on and suffered a severe spiral fracture of my left upper arm. Even worse, I incurred damage to my radial nerve, resulting in no function in my left hand or fingers. I spent three days in the hospital after having my fracture set and traveled to the Emerald Coast in mid-January for our annual four-month stay here. My orthopedic surgeon in Ohio was against my going to physical therapy, insisting that I'd be fine in time. Not only was I not getting better, by the time we arrived here, I was much worse! My hand and arm were grotesquely swollen and my elbow, shoulder, wrist, and fingers were stiffening up so bad, they could barely be moved. I knew I needed better care and on a local friend's recommendation, made an appointment with Dr. James Watt a few days after our arrival. He immediately took charge of my care and together with Orthopaedic Associate rehabilitation therapist, Matt Leary, has made a dramatic improvement in my recovery. Dr. Watt laid out a clear course of treatment and ordered nerve tests to determine precisely what was wrong with my radial nerve. Dr. Watt has been attentive and extremely professional and reassuring. Matt Leary has been absolutely wonderful with my physical therapy! I highly recommend them both!”
“I have needed to see several of the doctors in the group over the past few years. All have been great. You are always greeted with smiles when you enter the doors. Patient care is first class, from the first office visit thru rehab.”
