I was referred to Doc by colleages/friends who had trusted him implicitly for years. I have never looked back. Mind you, one friend specifically drove her Lab from Northern Wyoming, just for the love and expertise that Doc holds for the animals -- and he does, trust me!Since relocating to New Mexico, we do have a vet in Taos that we use, as the interim vet is a friend of ours. BUT, for at least our dogs, we drive them to Doc. It would be too stressful to drive our cats that far -- for them. However, we get a diagnosis in Taos and run it through Doc's expertise!! Do we trust him --- OH YEAH!!I note that one person perceived him as a "carmudgen". That saddens me, but that said, Doc is a million percent about THE ANIMALS. He does not take our money to have a desirable bedside manner for people and Doc Watson is like him as well. Doc also does not just diagnosis an animal as "hopeless" and put them down, as so manyl vet clinics do. He will treat an animal completely -- and alternatively -- if he "reads" the animal as not ready to go over that rainbow bridge.His clinic is not slick and impressive. It serves its purpose and is always full. His profit goes into the animals and any new and better protocols of treatment. By the way, everyone should realize that Doc was a licensed M D. before he converted to Veterinary; but even further, he was a CANCER RESEARCHER. He comes to all of us as a highly specialized practitioner, but that is not reflected in his prices.
