About

Dr. Andrea Watson knew she wanted to be a physician by age seven. She would ask her parents for medical books instead of toys at Christmas and spent childhood visits to the doctor mentally comparing her self-diagnoses to the physician's. That early curiosity became a lifelong calling.

She earned her MD from Saint George's University, graduating cum laude, and completed her Family Medicine residency at the University of Kentucky. She holds board certification in Family Medicine and brings more than 14 years of clinical experience to her practice. Her interests center on functional medicine, hormone replacement therapy, and lifestyle-driven root-cause care. Dr. Watson is an active member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and serves on the Baptist Health Foundation Board. She ranks at the 97th percentile for patient satisfaction. Outside medicine, she enjoys biking, swimming, and long walks with her family. She and her husband Eric are parents to three daughters: Massia, Elisabeth, and Zion.
