I used to see Dr. Watson as often as could afford. He went above and beyond to help me. As prolo was covered in AB he tried here, but was denied. He prescribed two medications that helped immensely. Neither was covered. With financial issues the supplier, on Dr. Watson's request, brought extra just to help me. He was in Winnipeg at the time, until 2008. I had prolotherapy before and knew it could help my Ehlers Danlos Hypermobility. I had bilateral SI joint fixation and fusion surgery, but the joints still wanted to move due to my genetic condition. Dr. Watson was really great the entire time I saw him and his prolotherapy treatments were very effective. After he left MB I did too since there were no other doctors that could help me here. At that time he was the only doctor in his clinic and only did prolo. I really liked him and so did other patients. Sad to see negative reviews for him now.

Waste of money and hope. Never spend money on this unless you have the money to possibly waste if it does not work.

When I saw him, it would cost me about $140 each time I visit him. I spoke to other physiatrist and they charged nothing. He seemed less confident about himself and his ability to fix my issue and having been running around since then.

I am forever grateful for Dr. Watson for addressing my 2 years of S.I. Joint pain, finding the cause, and fixing it! I had previously seen my family doctor, physiotherapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and rehab specialists, along with trying active release therapy, and trigger point injections. My pain has gone from a consistent 7/10 to now a sometimes 2/10. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

He is an amazing Dr. with excellent manner and skills. He is very up-to-date with the most recent methods and is very considerate about the treatments causing you pain at the time of injection. I was in pain (7/10) for over 10 years and he has got it under control and is addressing new problems that arise. I recommend him to anyone with pain.

Though Dr. Watson's treatment may not be conventional, I can attest to almost immediate relief (1-2 days) and healing of various injuries to my wrist and knee over the past three years. Because I must travel a long way to see him, my treatments have been sporadic, yet effective. Other physicians have recommended surgery and I have been able to avoid this outcome with Dr. Watson's treatment.

He made my condition far worse than it was when I walked into his office. He only uses Physiotherapists who support his methodology and, frankly, they are all off the reservation in regards to accepted medical practice. Watson avoided diagnostics that would disproved his diagnosis. He said he would know if his methods (prolotherapy) would work after six treatments. When I was worse after the 6 treatments, he only wanted to do more prolo. My original problem eventually got better with other treatments, but the damage he did has forced me to seek alternate employment and I live in pain constantly.Two GP's called Watson a "Witch Doctor" and I am inclined to agree.Stay away.

Dr. Watson has helped me immensely. I dread the day when he retires from medicine. We need more doctors that specialize in what he does and has the desire to continue his education tirelessly. If you have pain that will not go away, please go see him.
