The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Watt
  • “Love Dr. Watt! I'd been suffering for several months with pain in my upper arm. Went to two doctors who did not know what was wrong. Then went to Dr. Watt. He made the diagnosis within minutes, gave me a shot in the shoulder, and sent me to PT. As a result, I have absolutely no more pain. Yay!”

  • “Great! Practice was able to schedule me on short notice for two visits. This was important since I was on vacation and needed to have finger checked. Another surgeon in Ohio did original surgery, but it was good have access to a local doctor who as I said saw me twice and gave me references if follow was needed when I got home. A side note, it was good to see a Buckeye rather than one of those Gator doctors that always clapping their hands acting like a gator. (just kidding, I thinks). Please pass on to Dr. Watt finger is doing well.”

  • “I have seen Dr. Watt twice and each time he has been incredibly kind and had a good body if knowledge of his specialty which not only answered all of my questions but also put me at ease. My husband saw Dr. Watt on another occasion and told me that he had the same experience. In a nutshell - he's wonderful!”

  • “I was treated so well from the entire staff, actually there is no word to describe it. I was pretty nervous going in, but by the time my procedure started I was comfortable. You know, the word surgery can be intimidating and big or small, it can be overwhelming! But Dr Watts and the whole staff just make you feel at home and you know you will be alright!! Thank you for letting me use my right wrist painless again. Thank you Dr. Watts and your wonderful staff.”

  • “Had a series of knee injections and the experience was good. I am going back for another series in my other knee. Also, I am very pleased with the billing department who helped me with my EOB.”

  • “I was sent to Dr. Watt by my company's workers compensation department after a fall I sustained at work. I found everyone to be very friendly and professional. Dr. Watt himself is very attentive and actually listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions, unlike a lot of doctors who rush in, rush out, and leave you with questions you end up asking the nurse. After he did my knee surgery in that case I continued to  use him for all my orthopedic issues and do so to this day even if I have to drive to the Ft. Walton office. If you want quality care in a friendly and professional atmosphere this is your place.”

  • “Dr. Watt and the staff at Orthopaedic Associates are friendly and caring and very helpful. I always feel comfortable when I go there, and everything is explained to me so well that when I leave there, I know exactly what is going on and they always take the time to answer any questions I may have. I would highly recommend them. And their physical therapy staff is also fantastic.”

  • “Dr. Watt is another fantastic doctor at Orthopaedic Associates. He removed dupuytren (SP) in my right hand and also carpal surgery on my right wrist. Dr. Watt is a very kind person and showed a lot of concern for my problem. Next to Dr. T, he's my favorite doctor. I am very pleased with everyone at your office and how nicely I've been treated by all your employees. Thanks for caring!!!!”

  • “Dr. Watt was awesome. Friendly and prompt and very interested in me as a patient and person. Got in and out quickly and all healed perfect. Can't thank him enough. Never felt rushed when in appointment. Staff was friendly as well. Dr. Watt uses the newest technology to assist him. I had a cortisone shot and it was painless.”

  • “I'm an OR nurse and a crafter. Both activities involve repetitive motion and handling heavy equipment. I have developed tendinitis in both wrists. Dr. Watt saw me struggling to open a sterile item in the OR one day and told me I should get it treated to avoid more damage. Several weeks later, the base of my right thumb swelled up and was exquisitely tender. I called Dr. Watt's office in Destin and was promptly given an appointment.  The office staff was very welcoming. I was seen promptly. Dr. Watt was his usual affable self which made the process of injecting my wrist much more pleasant. I expected a much more painful injection and aftermath. I was pleasantly surprised  when my wrist was totally pain-free and more mobile immediately after the injection and it still is. Given my the activities of my job and my jewelry making, I'm sure my wrist will act up again. When it does I will have no qualms in having Dr. Watt inject it again.”

  • “The office personnel, the nurse, and Dr. Watt were very professional. I expected to need surgery for Dupuytren's Contracture, but Dr. Watt explained that the Xiaflex injections were as reliable, without the recovery time and pain of surgery. The hand therapist couldn't have been more professional, knowledgeable, and, successful in making the splint fit my hand and help make the procedure produce the end results I was hoping for. I'm looking forward to having my other hand treated for Dupuytren's Contracture, by Dr. Watt's and his team of professionals. I've encouraged two other people to make arrangements to be treated with Xiaflex, because of my experience.”

  • “Dr. Watt was an excellent orthopaedic surgeon. He fused the DIP joint of my right little finger. His explanation of what was wrong with my finger and the treatment necessary was very thorough. He showed genuine concern about the constant pain I was experiencing. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopaedic treatment.”

  • “I lost my right leg in an automobile accident in 2008. I was employed with Bayer US when this happened which made the injuries covered by Workman's Compensation. I have to have an Orthopedic Surgeon to exam my leg at least once a year and report to Travelers Insurance which is the agent for Bayer's Workman's Comp. I moved from Memphis, TN, to Sea Grove two years ago and picked Dr. James Watt as that doctor to represent my medical situation on my behalf. He has done an excellent job of this by reporting my needs to Travelers Ins. I also have been having trouble with my right knee and he will operate on it the 31st of this month to repair a torn Meniscus. His bed side manner is fantastic, takes time to talk to you and explain all of your options. I highly recommend him!”

  • “Dr. Watt and Kristen Singletary went so far and beyond. Best experience ever. Dr. Watt saved the day when my daughter had an ankle injury 2 days before State Competitive Cheer Competition in Tampa. She was able to compete because he went out of his way to see her and get the treatment she needed. The team went on to win State that weekend and a huge part of that was because of Dr. Watt. Thank you, Dr. Watt, for all you do. You too Kristen. I love your motto, "Find a way to say yes." You're both the best.”

  • “Dr. Watt did an amazing job on repairing the damage to my left wrist and hand. I have recovered full use of my hand! At 86 years of age, that is an amazing thing. The orthopaedic staff, Tyler and Miranda, were wonderful in ensuring that I received the therapy I needed to recover my range of motion in my right arm as well. Wonderful, caring staff!”

  • “Dr.Watt is thorough, professional, and very efficient. He ordered X-rays and then diagnosed my problem. He ordered physical therapy for my hip. Having the physical therapy office right next to his office is very convenient. He also injected both of my thumbs which took my pain away. Dr. Watt is very kind and calm. I am grateful that I found him. He is an asset to the practice. He is an asset to our whole area.”

  • “Went to see Dr. Watt due to considerable pain and discomfort in DIP joint of little finger. It was his recommendation that I need to have the joint fused and nodules removed. He was extremely informative and courteous. The surgical procedure was held at the Surgery Center. I found the entire staff, including Dr. Watt, to be extremely kind and a pleasure to be around. The surgery was done three weeks ago, and I am pain free from the severe arthritis. If I need anything done on my hands or shoulder during my stay in Florida, I would definitely return to Dr. Watt. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone in need of Orthopedic assistance. My sincere thanks to you, Dr. Watt.”
