Because the medical care in our small community is so horrendous, my husband and I choose to drive 75 miles (one way/150 miles round trip) to Watson Clinic in Lakeland. Thankfully, neither of us have any major medical problem or the monotonous drive would probably cause us to move to Lakeland. Founded in 1941, Watson Clinic claims to be one of the most renowned and largest medical clinics in the southeast. The clinic has grown to ten locations and they have about 170 physicians. It seems like there is a doctor in just about every specialty but podiatry. In the 20+ years we've been going to Watson Clinic, we have seen a lot of doctors. While I can't say I've liked or thought everyone of them was good, there have only been a couple that I didn't like for one reason or another. I also have to say their Urgent Care department needs a lot of help to be more efficient. Count on waiting a couple of hours before being seen by a doctor. Otherwise, I think Watson Clinic is an excellent choice for your medical needs.
