Marcia F.
I highly recommend Watterson Dentistry. The entire staff is kind, caring, and attentive. In addition, I can’t think of a way Dr. Watterson could be any better! With the extraction of 4 teeth in one day, I was sure I would experience severe pain. I was wrong. No pain during extraction and very little discomfort afterwords. (I thought I had an infection today and they got me right in. No infection!!) Best Dental experience I’ve ever had.
Deb
I have never been to a dentist where I've felt such a calm feeling. From the girls in the office to Jess the office manager. The first day I walked in there it didnt feel like a normal dental office. I have not been to the dentist and many years and after going to Dr Wattersons office I will never go anywhere else. They make you feel like you are number one and the only one in the office. Thank you Dr Watterson and your full staff for making me feel so comfortable.
Dawn H.
I am terrified of the dentist and at Dr Scott Watterson they made me feel at ease that has never happened at any other dentist, they took they're time with me they asked my permission before doing things even before introducing me to Dr Scott Watterson. The environment is so warm and inviting not cold and sterile looking like others. They have beautiful paintings to look at not just bare wall space at the end of the dentist chair. During my exam he was very gentle took his time and let me take the lead when I was ready. He never took those dental pics and started poking my sore teeth either they have set me up with a partial and he is more about saving teeth and making the patient comfortable and informed than making money. All of the other staff like Jessica were exceptional, I felt cared for and they acted like they truly understood my fear and anxiety and were very sensitive to it. Exceptional Dentist office. I'll never go anywear else.
Heather N.
Excellent experience at Watterson Dentistry! Very professional, kind, & caring! Dr. Watterson is very knowledgeable & great at what he does. Always prompt when we are in need. I highly recommend!
Megan M.
I’ve been going to this office since 2014. Even after moving 1.5 hours away, I still continue to come here because of the incredible care I receive. Dr. Watterson has truly changed my life for the better. After losing my front teeth from a childhood trauma, he worked tirelessly with me for years to restore my smile. He is dedicated, skilled, and always does his very best work. I am eternally grateful to him and his amazing staff for everything they have done for me — and continue to do.
Sarah S.
Top notch care and so advanced! Use to be scared of the dentist but this place is game changing… helps that Maria is hands downs the best too! Forever loyal to Watterson’s.
jerry P.
Maintaining healthy teeth is a priority. The personal care I receive makes me feel confident of my smile.
Jason C.
I’ve been coming here for both regular cleanings and dental implants, and I can’t say enough good things about this practice. The entire team is professional, pleasant, and truly focused on making every visit as comfortable as possible. The quality of their work is excellent — everything from routine care to more complex procedures has been handled with skill and attention to detail. It’s rare to say that going to the dentist can actually be a positive experience, but they really make it that way. Highly recommend!
Vanessa S.
The Watterson Crew are ALWAYS Amazing! Especially during an emergency that's when they really SHINE! LOVE my Watterson Crew.
Chris M.
Watterson family dentistry is truly the best I have been to. The staff is so kind and caring, you truly feel taken care of. Everyone there is really dedicated to your health and well being. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a dentist.
Emily
I had my first appointment today, this is a great group of people to work with very kind , transparent, personable and compassionate. They made me feel so comfortable explained things so well to me. I am going here for orthadontics and now for dental work as well. I am so happy I came here and did not go with the first place I went. They actually care about the health of your teeth someone was gonna start the braces process on me tomorrow Dr Watterson pumped the breaks and I definitely saved me a lot of money and problems by telling me the better route I need to do to ensure I do not cause extreme damage to my teeth. They were not just going to take my money they're going to do this process the right way! I highly recommend Dr Watterson and his amazing team to anyone if you're looking for orthodontic care dental cleanings a second opinion his office is without a doubt the best place I have found in Jackson and surrounding areas.
Vikki J.
They made feel so comfortable. They explained everything in detail. Listened to my fears and quieted them. Can't wait to go back ;)
Lou D.
I can’t say enough great things about Watterson Dentistry. All of the staff treated me very well. They are so personal and make you feel at home. If you’re looking for a new dentist get on over there.
keljer777
Great staff! They make you feel like part of the family. If you dread the dentist due to concern of discomfort, you don’t have to worry if you are seen here. I have had the deep cleaning below the gum line, routine cleanings, and I am now receiving orthodontic treatment. I am very happy that I chose Dr. Watterson and staff.
Paul D.
Where does a dentist go when he needs work done in his own mouth? I go to my U of M Dental School classmate, Dr. Scott Watterson. Why? I can trust him (and you can too) to do what is proper and do it well. It doesn't hurt either that he has a top-notch support team!
