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 had a decent experience with Dr Wilson. He does explain things well but has a hard time looking you in the eyes. He tends to stare at the computer while talking to the patient. His personality is fine but not so with his office staff. Both gals at the front desk need to be replaced! I work with patients too and would be fired if I dared to act as superior as these two do. Surprising that the Doctor puts up with them as it's his reputation on the line. I must ask, if you don't care about your job, just get out. Don't ruin the Doc's business on the way. Wow, just Wow.

Dr. Wilson is a very caring doctor who actually listens and I am very happy that I found him. He takes time to help and is very different from many doctors who work for large medical groups.

Dr. Wilson is a very pleasant physician who takes the time to explain your conditions and concerns I may have. The quality of time spent is greatly appreciated. I never feel like the appointment I rushed. His staff is friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Rude front desk for scheduling an appointment. The "call center" told me they were accepting new patients and to call them directly after lunch. I called and the receptionist snapped my head off, without even listening to what I had to say. If they are not taking new patients, then they need to update that on all of their sites and with the screening center. Don't BITE my head off.

I went to Dr. Wilson to receive excellent health care from Franciscan provider. He attempted to treat a new heart condition To ensure my enlarged heart was treated I scheduled an appointment with a local heart doctor. Dr. Wilson's wife, who works for him, never forwarded lab results, results of a heart sonogram. I called. She will not release my information for my health doctor. Seems angry that I left practice. Now BCBS must pay again for tests, etc for my treatment.
