Doctor Wilson sets the bar very high for any doctor! He was so very concerned with patient care and treatment!
The doctor took time to explain my problem and the care he recommended. I was happy with the improvement.
He put me at ease as I was very nervous. Great physician.
Dr. Wilson is so great at giving in depth explanations cares that you understand. He's also a great listener does not talk over you when you are explaining issues or asking questions- He also PROMPTLY gets back with answers if you call. 10 stars to Dr. Wilson.
