Meet

Dr. Sarah Watson, DO

I’ve always been drawn to a kind of medicine that is grounded in relationships—knowing my patients well, understanding the context of their lives, and caring for a wide range of needs over time.

I trained and practiced in a rural setting, where access to specialists was limited and primary care meant learning to take care of a little bit of everything. That experience shaped how I practice today: thoughtful, comprehensive, and focused on the whole person—not just isolated problems.

Over time, I also stepped into leadership roles in clinical operations, working to improve systems and support other providers. But as life got busier, I found myself thinking more about what it really means to care well—not just for my patients, but for my own family and my own health.

I wanted to be a great doctor, a present mom, and a supportive wife—and I knew the traditional model of care wasn’t set up to make that possible. The only way forward was to build something different.

Canterbury House Direct Primary Care grew out of that realization, and from everything my patients have taught me over the past 15 years.

Here, care is built around relationships, time, and access. Visits aren’t rushed. Decisions are made together, grounded in science—not fear. And you can reach your doctor when you actually need them.

This is a return to the kind of medicine I believe in—personal, thoughtful, and designed to fit into real life.
