Meet Joy Watson, PA-C

Joy Watson is a native Arizonan who has been working as a physician assistant for the past 13 years.

​

Upon completing her undergraduate at the University of Arizona, she was accepted into the physician assistant program at Midwestern University in 2004. Ms. Watson earned a Master's degree in Medical Science/Physician Assistant studies in 2007, where she began her career with a surgical practice in Mesa, working as a first assistant for several years.

​

Ms. Watson shifted her focus to primary care and began serving the community in Globe in 2010.  She recently joined  Palo Verde Family in the summer of 2020. 

​

Ms. Watson's patients often speak to the priority she places on building strong relationships and maintaining a level of compassionate trust. Ms. Watson hopes to inspire and encourage her patients to implement lifestyle modifications as their primary treatment.

​

By educating her patients on the toxic climate of our processed food culture, and how this often leads us toward life-long medical issues and chronic illness, Ms. Watson seeks to go beyond traditional care methodologies in her overall approach to treatment.

​

Joy truly believes that family medicine does involve the entire family, and is what ultimately creates a thriving, healthy environment. As a licensed yoga instructor, Ms. Watson actively practices movement and meditation as the foundation for a peaceful and healthy existence.

"There are many reasons why I truly believe that Palo Verde family care is the best choice in navigating you and your family's healthcare journey. I personally have over fifteen years working as a certified Physician Associate, with 12 of those years dedicated to the community of Globe/Miami.  I feel honored to serve this small community and value the relationships that I have built here.  I consider those that I work with my family, I trust each and every individual that I work alongside, and finding such a cohesive strong blend of people who truly care about our work is a blessing.   In this spirit, I want to invite you into our fold.  As a practitioner, I am someone who is going to contemplate your ailments long after you have left the office.  I am dedicated and determined to find authentic answers that will bring you relief from suffering and pain.  I want you to feel heard, and to come up with a plan together that brings you the quality of life that everyone deserves.  I will do this in all aspects of my practice, be it primary care focused or through our new offerings of aesthetics based services such as botox and fillers.  I understand that finding a practitioner that you trust can be difficult, but I plan to earn that trust with every individual that sits beside me and shares their story.   Come join us at Palo Verde Family Care."
