We have referred multiple people to Dr. Willson. He has been a blessing through my daughter's injury & recovery journey. He's very positive & explains everything to us every time. He always asked what we need from him to make this journey easier. Hands down best decision I made, was to switch to him for my daughters xxx repair!

Dr.Wilson really did a good on my knee surgery and I am so glad my mom took me to AU cause Dr. Wilson took good care of me.

Finally I got help and an understanding about my concern for a diagnosis for my knee. I am a professional ballroom dancer and my knee injury really concerns me. The first doctor who was two hours late several months ago looked at an X-ray and told me I had mild arthritis. I knew that was not the problem. Dr Wilson was thorough and understood my need for getting my knee properly diagnosed. In fairness to the first doctor, she was severely overbooked and overworked.
