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.

They made feel so comfortable. They explained everything in detail. Listened to my fears and quieted them. Can't wait to go back ;)

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.

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!
