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.

I was seen for a "simple" surgery to remove a cyst on my knee as well as do a "clean up" inside the knee. I was told I would walk out of the hospital, but did not walk without crutches for 6 days. My stitches bled through 3 times, including the night of surgery, and one of those instances sent me to the emergency room. The cyst is not fully removed and still causes me pain. The "clean up" portion of the surgery was meant to prolong my need for a full knee replacement, but has instead escalated the need. I was extremely disappointed with my outcome, and would not recommend Wilson as a surgeon.

A good experience
Dr. Wilson and his team were pleasant and friendly. I was interviewed by his nurse and then an X-ray was taken. When I met with Dr. Wilson a short time later, he explained the x-ray to me in a way I could easily understand. He said my shoulder pain was not due to arthritis. He then suggested several ways I could reduce the pain. I feel I have a good plan to move forward and relieve my symptoms. I think Dr. Wilson is friendly and his manner put me at ease.

I was very impressed with everyone. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. I did not have to wait long to meet with Dr. Wilson. He took his time explaining everything to me and helping me to make the right decision. I live in AZ so I am currently looking at my options, but when I have to have surgery, I will definitely consider Dr. Wilson. It was a very positive experience.

First Visit
Great front desk staff and a very short wait. The Medical Assistant and X-Ray Tech were very professional and explained everything that they were doing. Dr. Wilson was able to look at the X-Ray and explain what the issue was and recommended treatment. I felt very comfortable with his assessment and recommendation for treatment.

Dr. Wilson's staff saw me right away at his office in Fraser and immediately arranged for an MRI. A few days later Dr. Wilson reviewed the MRI with me and recommended surgery to replace a torn ACL and repair other knee injuries. I was able to get the procedure done in Steamboat that same week (the staff at Steamboat were fantastic!!!). I'm now only 9 days out from surgery and already walking around the house without pain or a limp. I couldn't be happier with my treatment or outcome.

Quickly diagnosed cause of pain & provided relief
Dr. Wilson asked pertinent questions about the pain in my hip, diagnosed the cause of the pain, and provided a remedy to relieve the pain, all in one quick and timely visit. In my case, the problem was bursitis; the remedy was a steroid shot in the affected area; and the pain was gone that day. I can’t remember ever getting such an effective diagnosis, treatment, and relief so quickly. Thank you, so much, Dr. Wilson!

Great it’s explaining everything
Explained my situation and the options I had in fixing it. I was disappointed that the numbing agent didn’t work but I usually need twice what the normal person needs so I wasn’t surprised. hopefully the cortisone shot takes care of my pain! Dr. Wilson was great in all aspects!

Listen to all my concerns, answered all my questions. Did a thorough shoulder exam. Ultrasound to inject a steroid into a very tight space which I think is better than attempting blindly. I left feeling like he did a great job.
