Gastric Sleeve

I am a current patient of Dr. Watson. I currently have a lap band and will be seeing the doctor Dec 5th to discuss changing from the band to a gastric sleeve. Because I have this past medical history with the doctor I prefer to remain with a surgeon I know and trust. Dr. Watson is thoroughly professional and he is easy to talk to. Naturally I would recommend him to anyone.

Bariatric Surgery Consultation

I had my gallbladder out with Dr Watson in April 2019. Dr Watson and his team were fantastic right from the first appointment. He is very down to earth and I felt very comfortable with him. I am seeing him next month for another surgery with him.

Gastric Band, Gastric Sleeve

I have been a patient of Dr Watson's since 2004. Back in 2004 he removed my gallbladder, In 2006 he put in my first lap band. In 2011 I got really sick (gastro and not the band) and he took my band out for me and replaced it with a new one a few months later. Just recently I had the 2nd band removed and have since had a gastric sleeve. In all 6 operations, pre and post meetings and general correspondence, he has been amazing. The girls at the clinic are very lovely too. He may charge a little more than other surgeons, but trust me, I trust him with my life, so much so that I have many family and friends who have also used him since me for various reasons. Because they approach obesity with care and look at it as something that needs to be corrected but treating the patient with respect and dignity. Who wants to be made to feel bad when they are trying to change their future? At least with Dr Watson and his team you are not just a number.

Gastric Sleeve

Just had a stomache sleeve on 30th June 2015. What can I say. Dr Watson was great - as were all his office and hospital staff and offsiders, all my details were checked, the nurses at Murdoch hospital on entry kept me calm and explained all the procedures for the day. The pain was nothing compared to what I expected and dr Watson came once each day to make sure I had no questions before heading home for the real journey. I couldn't have asked for better. I was treated as a person not a number and I would recommend dr Watson to anyone. Value for money - well it's hard to put a value on a persons Individual weight loss but I think it's worth the out of cost expenses I paid. My whole attitude about what I can do is changing and it's only been a week since the surgery. Going through dr Watson is definitely value for money because he got it right the first time with no leakages or repairs needed The clinic staff know their jobs and know what questions to ask. They are organised and cater for country people. They know what time frame between appointments are needed and I never once had to reschedule. The appointments all, started basically on time as well. Another plus. All the paper work was handle efficiently. I would highly recommend this clinic.
