Brief Intro

Dr. Watson’s clinical interests include adult and pediatric conditions of the upper limb, such as arthritic and post-traumatic reconstruction, microvascular surgery, and treatment of complicated fractures. Dr. Watson joined Colorado Springs Orthopedic Group in April 2013 following 11 fulfilling years as a hand and upper extremity surgeon at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. While at Vanderbilt, he developed and directed separate adult and pediatric brachial plexus programs, which involved early neurosurgical intervention, delayed orthopedic procedures, and nonoperative optimization through therapy.Dr. Watson is also experienced in congenital conditions and upper limb development. An avid participant in resident and fellow education, he remains involved with academic interaction at the local and national level.
