Dr. Tammara L. Watts
Overview
I enjoy taking care of patients with tumors, both benign and malignant, in the head and neck, including skin cancer. I will shoot it to you straight, help guide you through the process, and make sure you leave with all your questions answered. I have an easy-breezy bedside manner and most patients leave with a smile on their faces. When I am not taking care of patients, you will find me in my research laboratory where I seek to improve clinical outcomes in the cancer patients I treat. For fun, I am an avid equestrian, and I try to ride 2-3 times a week. I love to cook and entertain family and friends.
