    I recently saw Dr. Watterson for Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been very happy with his service. He has given me a lot of information and resources to help me manage my disease better independently. I really like the format of this video library that Dr. Watterson is involved in on this website. It's a great resource. Beverly in Vancouver
