Dr. Watkins is a native Texan who grew up in Bellaire. It’s no surprise he became a dentist, since his dentist father and dental hygienist mother operated a successful dental practice in south Houston for over 50 years.
He attended Bellaire High School, earned a BS from the University of Houston, and graduated in 2002 from The University of Texas at Houston – Dental Branch. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry and the Greater Houston Dental Society.
He is married and has two grown children, Evan and Kelly Rose. His free time is spent watching sports, playing golf and basketball, and eating apples.
Stop by the office to look around, or call to get a no-strings-attached second opinion from Dr. Watkins. He will make some time to answer any questions you have.
Dr. Watkins’ wife, Heather, enjoys visiting with patients and answering all their dental insurance questions. She has enjoyed three careers prior to dentistry: executive chef, part-time music teacher, and full-time mom. She met Andrew Watkins while working at Barton Creek Country Club in Austin, TX but dental school brought the couple to Houston.
With the kids grown and out of the house, her free time includes tennis, golf, yoga and reading.
