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.

Skin cancer on my nose
Dr Wilson and his assistant Diane were able to remove skin cancer on the side of my nose using a surgery technique were they remove very small layers of skin, test the tissue and continue until they have all the affected tissue. They stitched back my nose and in a short time the area healed without any noticeable scarring! Amazing work!

Dr. Wilson is great, he's well-versed in hidradenitis suppurativa treatment. The staff are fantastic too, they get my prior auths through my insurance really fast.

Excellent Doctor
I have been going to Dr. Wilson for a few years now. I think he may be a little shy when you first meet him. I think he is very knowledgeable and is willing to answer your questions. I had been seeing another doctor in the practice before switching to Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson had to call me with the results because the other doctor was out of the office. Dr. Wilson was very thorough and caring. Because of this phone call and it became harder to get into the doctor I had been seeing, I switched over to have Dr. Wilson be my doctor.

Full Body Skin Scan
Scheduled to see Dr Wilson. The Deception: After stripping down, a female PA enters exam room and performs the exam. A few minutes later the female PA and female nurse re-enter with Dr Wilson. I give this deception zero stars! This group is practicing disrespectful bate and switch. If medical people value respect and positive ratings, they must respect their patients.

He spent all of two minutes with me. This is the third time I've seen him. Each time I've seen him, I felt he wasn't listening to my concerns. Told me my psoriasis breakouts were bug bites and if they didn't improve, I could come back in four to five weeks. It's been several days since I've seen him and my breakouts have doubled.

Worst dermatologist EVER
Gave me a misdiagnosis of an autoimmune disease, didn’t listen to my complaints. He’s garbage, don’t waste your time going to him. He deserves 0 stars

At this point in time I do believe Dr. Wilson is a competent doctor. His staff and nurses with whom I have had interactions have shown me nothing but an uncaring and slightly incompetent attitude. Their promise for a follow-up service never happened, and now I am without medication. I called several times to prompt sometime of action and received nothing but denial of responsibility. By the way, the wait to be seen is beyond the normal slow Dr.'s waiting room time.

Basal cell lesions. 1 benign, 1 not. Mohs surgery was successful and his explanations were easily understood.
