“Dr. Hanson is very knowledgeable and relates well to patients. As a patient you get the feeling that he really cares about you and your needs. He looks at the whole picture - how the problem you are experiencing effects your personal life, your professional life. He truly listens and takes the time to explain everything to you. He doesn't immediately suggest surgery but considers other options first. A very good doctor with a great bedside manner.”

“I have been coming to Desert Orthopaedic since 2005. My first Dr. Was Dr. Neibaum. He did a magnificent job on my first hip Surgery. Than again in I had to have a second hip surgery only on the opposite side. For this surgery I had Dr. Bauldauf. Fabulous Dr. Just loved him. I would not go anywhere else for Orthopaedic Surgery. Thank you so much. You gave me my life back. ”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Watson at DOC for going on 2 1/2 years. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing Doctor. He is knowledgeable, kind and someone I trust with all my ortho needs. His team is also kind and thorough, making each visit a smooth one. I had surgery last year and have another surgery to do and wouldn't want anyone else working on my feet unless it's him. The DOC is organized and perfect all around. ”
