As America’s favorite past time, baseball has united families and communities for many generations. Game day reminds us of those special moments we’ve shared in the past with our loved ones, and the new memories we hope to create far into the future.
 
Much like the Tigers organization, Watson Clinic has a deep-rooted history in our community. Founded in 1941, the Clinic initially consisted of five physicians housed in the classic Marble Arcade building in downtown Lakeland. Their shared goal was to offer big-city care with small-town values. As the Clinic has continued to grow throughout the decades, our focus on serving the needs of each individual patient and the community has a whole has never wavered.
 
This commitment to empowering a healthy and thriving community has extended to our long-time association with the Tigers organization. As the official medical provider for the Lakeland Flying Tigers and Detroit Tigers Florida Operations, Watson Clinic has worked to keep our cherished hometown team healthy and agile so generations of families can continue to enjoy the magic they produce on the field.
 
From spring training through the remainder of the regular season, the Tigers call upon our expertise to address any illnesses and injuries that may arise for their players and staff members alike.
 
With our winning line-up of over 350 physicians and providers offering more than 40 medical and surgical specialties, Watson Clinic is uniquely suited to fulfill any healthcare need a patient may experience in their lifetime, including the professional athletes that populate the Tigers roster.
