Watson Clinic has long cherished the opportunity to serve the medical needs of our patients who reside in Bartow and the surrounding communities, including south Lakeland and Fort Meade. Recently, we’ve taken steps to increase our presence in the area like never before.

Watson Clinic Bartow: Located adjacent to Bartow Regional Medical Center – where an increasing number of our specialists treat in-patients – our Watson Clinic Bartow offices house an assortment of popular services, including family medicine, endocrinology, bone density DEXA scan capability, diabetes education, dietary counseling, on-site lab and x-ray.

Additional Watson Clinic providers are now serving the needs of patients from the Bartow area:

Watson Clinic Bartow Gynecology: Devoted to women’s health and comprehensive gynecologic care, our new Bartow Gynecology office is headed by board-certified obstetric-gynecologist Dr. Tarek Garas and Nicole Rule, APRN. Mrs. Rule maintains a full-time schedule at this location, while Dr. Garas is available on select days each week as he divides his time between this location and the Bella Vista Building.

The range of services offered at Watson Clinic Bartow Gynecology are tailored for women of all ages, including routine gynecologic examinations, contraceptive management, and treatments for irregular bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, painful bladder syndrome, sexual dysfunction and issues brought on by conditions like osteoporosis and menopause.

Procedures will be conducted both in-office and at Bartow Regional Medical Center.

Watson Clinic Highlands: One of our most visually striking and popular facilities, Watson Clinic Highlands is a 74,000 square foot, two-story medical facility located at 2300 E. County Rd 540A in south Lakeland. The facility offers expert primary care, dermatology, and obstetrics and gynecology services, as well as comprehensive radiology capabilities, including CAT scan, DEXA bone density scanning, x-ray, ultrasound and 3D mammography, and an on-site laboratory for faster test results and more efficient patient visits.

The building also introduces a series of services to the south Lakeland area for the first time in Watson Clinic’s history, including otolaryngology (ENT), facial plastic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, physical therapy and sports medicine, and our Hearing Center.

On the far west side of the Watson Clinic Highlands facility, patients and non-patients alike can receive walk-in care without an appointment from our Watson Clinic XpressCare at Highlands offices.

Watson Clinic Center for Specialized Rehabilitation: Just down the road from our Highlands building, this exciting facility provides the services and specialists you need to move forward with your recovery from injuries, vestibular disorders or other demobilizing conditions.

As a community grows, so does their need for quality healthcare. That’s why Watson Clinic is expanding our presence for patients and families in south Lakeland, Bartow and surrounding areas.

Collectively, these additional specialties, services, physicians and convenient locations mean a healthier tomorrow for families in our community.
