Patient Testimonial :

“I have had numerous CT guided cortisone injections performed by Dr Watts and have always found him to be caring, professional and accurate. He always finds the exact spot on the first attempt and delivers the medication slowly so as not to cause undue discomfort. When I hear of anyone needing imaging guided pain relief I always recommend him.”
