Urgent Care South Breaks Ground in August
On Wednesday, August 7 at 10 am, Watson Clinic will break ground on our new Urgent Care South facility, scheduled to open in January 2020.
The new site expands upon our walk-in care services, which have become increasingly popular for their convenience and cost savings when compared to an emergency room visit.
In a nearly seven-minute presentation from Gynecologic OncologistDr. Richard Cardosi, patients can learn how diVa® corrects issues related to lubrication, laxity and leakage. The video also shows how the device works and features a patient testimonial.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Desai, please call 863-680-7214.
Podiatric Surgeon Now at Two Convenient Locations
Board-certified Podiatric SurgeonDr. Ripal Patel has served patients from the Watson Clinic Bartow location since 2009. Dr. Patel will continue to see these patients Monday - Wednesday and Friday. However, he has recently expanded his availability to our Watson Clinic Main facility in Lakeland every Thursday. This change provides Dr. Patel's Lakeland patients a greater level of convenience and availability.
Appointments with Dr. Patel may still be scheduled by calling 863-680-7214.
Thanks to Vicky and Steven Billingsley, Watson Clinic Cancer & Research Center patients and caregivers can now enjoy the soothing sounds of a beautiful baby grand piano. The donation was made in honor of Vicky's father.

Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease
It is estimated that one in every seven American adults are afflicted with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Often referred to as the "silent disease" due to its initial lack of noticeable symptoms, the disease has a higher mortality rate than breast or prostate cancer.
By detecting evidence of CKD at an early stage, Nephrologists can help to prevent organ failure and the need for ongoing dialysis.
