Jack R Watson, MD

Dr. Watson is an excellent physician. He is clear, thorough, wise and compassionate. He saw me for chest pain. The cardiac workup had not yet been completed, and he promptly sent me to do the rest of it. But he also checked to be sure there was not another more subtle problem, and he did a thorough physical exam, and even a rectal exam, to be sure there was not an intestinal problem underlying it. It turned out that he was correct, that it was a gastric ulcer. His thorough exam and workup put my worries to rest. I am grateful to have such an excellent and caring physician. I was cured by the medicine prescribed. I highly recommend Dr. Watson, and I feel very lucky to have such a great physician taking care of me!

I have dealt with Dr Jack Watson the last 8 years and his dealings with the disabled community in Santa Cruz– he has always been a caring and competent Primary care Physician.

Judgemental and rude if you fit into the «preppie» class you should be fine I thought it to be safe to be honest about what’s was going on with myself to find out wrong my medicalchart now isn’t correct or true but judgmental and an opinion of an ass

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Jack Watson. He’s a kind, caring, professional doctor and man. He is a assest to the community and to the patients he provides care for. He makes house calls, weekends if needed, and doesn’t make his patients feel rushed. I thank him for taking my mom on as a patient who recently came to live in Santa Cruz. All the doctors at this office are good doctors. Trust your health issues with Dr. Watson or any of his partners.

Dr. Watson used to be my primary physician for a number of years. When I originally started seeing him I explained some ongoing concerns I had about my health. His interest and concern for my well-​being were short lived (considering I had no major symptoms which Western medicine seems to require for action). After a good period I felt my concerns about my health were finally bearing some reality when a lump appeared. With just a visual diagnosis Dr. Watson waved it off as a benign tumor, and that we would wait a number of years until it was impeding mobility to have it surgically removed. No blood test, no test of any kind, just a few pushes on my gumball sized lump, and «come back next year.» Now several months have passed and multiple more lumps have appeared in other parts of my body. Due to Dr. Watson’s nonchalant attitude I did not even bother to come in when these lumps were small considering how condescending he has been about my concerns and the first tumor. Rather than take time off, lose wages, and pay co-​pays to visit him again only to have him brush me off I am finally getting that «second opinion» they talk about in medicine. My recommendation if you are considering Dr. Watson as your doctor, «Think twice.»

After seeing Jack Watson accurately diagnose, treat and help a number of friends return to good health, I decided to pay him a visit.
What impressed me most at my first office visit, was Jack’s professionalism, the thoroughness of his examination and follow-​through on results.
As a physician, Jack’s medical knowledge, experience, peer network and interpersonal skills instills confidence and trust.
I highly recommend Jack Watson to anyone who is in need of a physician — whether it be for preventative care or diagnoses and treatment.
