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.

Partial Knee Replacement
Dr. Wilson is my hero! I had such debilitating knee pain for so long and finally decided to bite the bullet and have the surgery. Everything about the process was very professional and I couldn’t be more satisfied with Dr. Wilson’s professionalism. I am two weeks post surgery and thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Wilson for your orthopedic needs. Do yourself a favor and give him a call! I’m so glad I did!

Knee Replacement Surgery
Dr. Wilson started as a 2nd opinion but after meeting him I choose to use him for my surgery. I could not be happier with the entire staff and process I went through. I would recommend Dr. wilson to anyone.

I highly recommend Dr Wilson and staff.
Dr Wilson and his staff are very empathetic and kind. I was scheduled quickly for a total knee replacement. My leg is now free of pain and my x-ray indicates Dr Wilson did an incredible job. I highly recommend him.

Nice and energetic but dismissive
Dr. Wilson came highly recommended, but in hindsight he was recommended for being nice - not for being an excellent physician. I felt very dismissed. Asking me where my pain was located, he immediately diagnosed with no further examination. Upon showing him exactly where my pain was located, he said very doubtfully "Way up there? No." He emphasized by shaking his head no. Apparently my pain location wasn't in line with his diagnosis. He quickly said he was going to give me an injection, he told me to take loads of NSAIDS (which I cannot take due to ulcers), he administered the injection and was out the door. Let me reiterate that every person in the office that I encountered was kind and energetic. The appointment was, however extremely hurried/rushed.

Knee #2
I was a patient of Dr. Schaberg for nearly 20 years until his retirement . I was a bit apprehensive but pain overrides that. I found Dr. Wilson to be be very friendly and caring. He took time to discuss all my options and let me decide. Hated to see Doc S retire but Dr. Wilson is a great replacement.

Visit
I was disappointed with my visit with Dr. Wilson. I had heard many great things about him. I went in to see him for knee pain. I found him very distracted that day. He didn't ask questions and was very fast with my diagnoisis and no explanation of how my surgery would go if I scheduled one with him.. I will go ahead and schedule a knee surgery with him and hope that it was just an off day for him.

Excellent, caring physician
Dr. Wilson examined my 95 year old mother for hip issue and knee pain. He was thorough, caring, listened and addressed all our questions & concerns. He has excellent patient care skills. He diagnosed the hip issue, treated knees with injections and gave us a plan for physical therapy This was her first visit to Dr. Wilson & it was a really good experience.
