Having had eight orthopedic surgeries over the past 3 years I must say Dr Wilson and his staff are the very best. He performed a reverse total shoulder on me and I couldn't be happier. Office wait times are only a few minutes. They are extremely polite and thorough. This is how medical care should be. Many other surgeons and offices could learn a lot from Dr Wilson and his staff!

Repeat patient
Dr. Wilson performed a rotator cuff & slap repair on me in March 2018. With age & active grandblessings both shoulders need Dr. Wilson's magic touch. My left shoulder will be next w/a complete reverse replacement. I'm terrified but Dr. Wilson has such an incredible bedside manner that extends beyond your time in the office, that he calms my nerves. He has an awesome staff for support. All of the staff listens to what you have to say & have been doing this long enough that they understand what you can't explain. There is never a dumb question. Dr. Wilson called to check on me multiple times after my first surgery. He is the closest doctor that I have ever seen that feels like a cross between an old school doctor and a concierge doctor. If you commit to your follow up appointments and physical therapy care, healing should be a breeze. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Wilson and his team!

Dr Wilson performed rotator cuff surgery on me. I had a large tear. He fixed it and I did great afterward with his direction for my PT. He communicated great with me and explained exactly what he did. Would definitely go to him again.

Dr. Wilson performed total shoulder replacement needed due to an accident that occurred 25 years ago. Over the years several specialists told me nothing could be done. Dr. Wilson took time to explore the problems and recommend solutions. He restored abilities and quality of life that I’ve lacked for decades. When meetings both before and after the procedure, he clearly explained everything and was always amazingly accessible. Something that sounded "too good to be true" was actually true.

Dr Wilson is the doctor that every patient dreams they will get, but rarely do. He embodies caring in everything he does! He treats the whole person, listens intently, fully informs-involves you in decisions, empowers you to take back control of your life, and gets to know who you are and what is important to you. His P.A., Meghan and M.A. Adrienne are also awesome! They make an amazing and dynamic team that delivers the best orthopaedic care! His smile can warm a room!
