Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Wilson left me with a relaxed, comfortable mood throughout our meeting. His detailed responses to my questions were clear and satisfactory. Being with him is pleasant like meeting a confident new friend.

Treats patients horribly
Sarcastic, terrible bedside manner. Gets off on belittling patients.

Excellent Surgeon and Staff
Dr. Wilson answered all of my questions related to thumb arthroplasty and set my mind at ease. I mentioned that my thumb was also starting to trigger and he agreed to include a trigger finger release with the arthroplasty (2 for 1 surgery on the same thumb). This avoided the need for a second surgery at a later date and another recovery period! I had several questions for staff regarding surgery dates and prior authorizations for insurance. They answered all of my questions or promptly referred me to the right people. I'm still recovering, but thumb no longer makes a grinding sound when I move it and no more triggering.

The Most Unprofessional medical provider
Belittling patient, laughing at inquiries and not solution oriented. Raising his voice while talking down to his patient before throwing a tantrum and storming out of the office. Patient was respectful and shocked by his behavior. Left speechless and crying from his verbal onslaught. Patient was requesting treatment other than a steroid injection. 'You don't want a solution' 'Have another surgeon do the work'

Best in the business of surgery
Dr. Wilson did surgery on my left should with a complete replacement. This turned out to be the very best outcome. I was able to use the arm within two weeks, this Doctor knows his stuff when it comes to surgery, I am actually doing the other shoulder and would not have anyone else do this as I fell he is extremely great at this aspect of medicine. I would highly recommend Dr. Wilson I’d you need surgery of any kind. He is simp the best, thank you Dr Wilson.

A pain free shoulder!
I injured my shoulder in a bicycle accident…faced with a torn rotator cuff & torn bicep muscle Dr Wilson spent the time to explain how the surgical procedure worked and what the recovery process would be. He listens to you as a patient, and he creates an atmosphere of confidence and works to make sure you are comfortable and healing. I had an excellent result and have full range of motion and no residual pain.I highly recommend Dr Wilson and his team!

Good doctor
I had a shoulder surgery with Dr. Wilson and I'm very pleased with his service. He was very attentive to my needs and listened to my concerns. He made me less nervous going into surgery. I would recommend him.

Excellence in Health Care
Dr Wilson has performed surgery on both of my hands for Dupuytren’s disease; once for contractures of my fingers and once for removal of nodules that were causing pain and parathesia. The bottom line is that I had excellent results from both procedures. Furthermore, he was comprehensive in his explanation of the procedure and expected/possible outcomes.

Awesome, Doctor and staff
Dr. Wilson was very kind, compassionate, caring he listened to what I had to say and when he said he could help me with my ganglion cyst, I cried in his office! I felt he heard me and I was scheduled surgery two weeks after my first visit with him! His staff was very nice and helpful. I cannot say anything bad about the whole experience I had. The surgery went great. I no longer have the lump on the back of my hand. I just have some swelling and bruising, but that will go away. So I would recommend him two thumbs up all the way! Very professional And I felt that he heard me which is the main thing. It’s really hard to find a doctor or surgeon that will listen to the patient.

Worst Doctor
He was extremely unpleasant and was in an attacking mode for no reason. He contradicts himself in the treatment method. He was unethical and unprofessional. Stay away from him.

Worst experience ever
He forgot what he said In The first appointment. He said he could fix my husbands hand and then changed his mind. He is either forgetful or incompetent. Go somewhere else if you value your health. This guy is all about $$$$. Ct scans, X-rays, repeated visits all for nothing.

Excellent doctor
Dr. Wilson did surgery on my wrist and after a year there were some changes so he did “revision” surgery. All he cared about was that I have a positive result with no pain. The results have been wonderful. Highly recommend him snd his staff.

I had to wait over 40 minutes from my scehduled appointment time to actually see him because his office overbooked him with a ton of new patients only giving him 10 minutes to read the chart and talk with them. Even though he didn't make it feel rushed, the appointment itself (looking back on it) was. I only saw him twice for worker's comp and I feel totally dismissed as he told me to work through the sometimes excruciating pain and just take pain meds to relieve it as needed. He compared me to himeself and other people he knew which made me not feel seen and told me that I was lazy. Overall, after the two appointments, I get a sense that he doesn't give a crap about his patients and especially not tennis elbow, which I have now had for over a year. I told him about a time when I could barely hold onto a 6lb bag and he basically said "So, what do you want me to do about it? Just take some pain meds and work through it". WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE FOR ANY REASON.
