Dr. Watkins is an extraordinarily patient, informative, and gentle dentist, with great expertise. He's active in professional organizations and teaching. His staff are loyal and very professional. It's a wonderful practice. I haven't had cosmetic work, but I've had many crowns, as well as a bite plate, and I've been very satisfied with the work. As for cost, I have dental insurance which pays for some treatments and portions of others, so I'm not certain how his rates compare to other dentists because fortunately I'm not paying wholly out of pocket.
