Stephen E Watkins, DO

Care Philosophy

As a fellowship trained shoulder and knee specialist, I work with my patients to help restore and/or improve their quality of life and get them moving again. My care philosophy is patient-centered with a focus on the best, evidence-based treatment available. Building meaningful relationships based on communication and trust is what my practice dedicates itself to. Together we develop the most appropriate treatment plan focused on improving pain, function, and mobility.
