      I like Dr.Watt. Not only is he an excellent cardiologist but he has a pleasant "bedside manner" with patients.

      I've already recommended Dr. Watt to people. As a fat lady, doctors visits are a minefield, often overshadowing what I've come to see the doctor for in the first place. Absolutely not so with Dr. Watt. He was patient, and listened, letting me lead with my concerns. He talked about aspects of my health in terms of risk. He believed me when I told him about my swimming and physical therapy. I can't say enough about his kind (but professionally reserved) demeanor, and obvious expertise. He even received my joking with affability. I went in to the appointment expecting to walk out when the doctor inevitably disregarded me as a whole person, but the visit was the exact opposite. I was so relieved that I was treated with dignity, and really pleased to have had the opportunity to meet with him.
