Watson Clinic and the Tigers organization have a lot in common beyond our shared love of America’s favorite pastime.
Both have served families in our community for generations. Watson Clinic’s
deep-rooted history began in 1941 when a group of five outstanding physicians set out to offer a world-class group practice right here in the heart of Lakeland. The decades have brought tremendous growth throughout the Clinic. We now offer a team of more than
365 physicians and providers offering
over 40 medical and surgical specialties from
19 convenient locations across Polk, Pasco and Hillsborough counties. Through it all, our primary mission has remained unchanged: to serve the needs of you and your family with expertise and compassion.
Both of our organizations have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership for many decades. 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 productive so audiences of all ages can continue to enjoy the magic they produce on the field.
Throughout the year, the Tigers call upon the expertise of Watson Clinic’s team for any health-related issues that need to be addressed quickly – from common illnesses to more involved orthopaedic injury repairs.
Watson Clinic’s structure is uniquely suited to fulfill any healthcare need the Tigers’ players are likely to experience. But you don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from these services – it’s the same caliber of diverse and convenient healthcare that we provide to all of our patients.
Sidelined by an injury? Our
orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists utilize the latest nonsurgical and minimally invasive surgical techniques to help you mend and get you moving again in record time. Are you constricted by chronic or acute aches and pains? Our
Chiropractic Medicine physician performs an array of treatments that provide relief to aching muscles, joints, bones, ligaments and more. Struck by a surprise illness or unexpected mishap? The board-certified specialists at our
walk-in care facilities can provide the treatment you need without an appointment. Need
same-day, next-day or even
Saturday appointments? A variety of our most popular specialties are ready to serve your immediate care needs on your schedule.
Finally, with both the Tigers and Watson Clinic, we believe the best is yet to come. Watson Clinic will open two additional freestanding locations this summer, including
Watson Clinic Parkway Medical Center, a four-story, 80,000-square foot facility housing an array of in-demand specialties,
Watson Clinic Surgery Center South, a 30,000-square foot facility offering same-day outpatient procedures. Then there’s the
Orlando Health Watson Clinic Lakeland Highlands Hospital, an exciting affiliation that will deliver 300 inpatient beds and a wealth of additional features to families throughout our region. These three facilities will share the same campus in south Lakeland and are an ideal representation of Watson Clinic’s one-stop-shop philosophy.
Both individually and in partnership, Watson Clinic and the Tigers are committed to helping you create more treasured memories with the people you cherish for many years to come.
