I really like Dr Wilson. He's patient, listens and thinks about my symptoms rather than just sending me for tests like other doctors have done recently. I highly recommend him.
Verified patient
Third time going to Dr. Wilson. I like him because he's easy to talk to and listens to me. I have been to about 5+ doctors trying to find the right one and I was so impressed that I'm not looking anymore.

I love this Doc. He is so friendly and has been super helpful in helping me navigate a difficult diagnosis. I've been struggling for years to find out what the pain and other issues were and he hit the nail on the head. Very approachable and takes time to answer any questions you may have.

Dr. Wilson and his staff are extremely personable. He has been my family doctor for 10 years. Dr. Wilson is very thorough and takes time to hear concerns.
Verified patient
I had the first appointment of the day, but the front desk clerk checked me in to a room ONE HOUR after I arrived. As a new patient, I arrived 15 min early to fill out anticipated paperwork. 30 minutes after I arrived, I finally got the paperwork, which I completed in 5 minutes. Then I sat another 20min until I got in a room. Then I sat in a room for another 20min to be seen. I'm under 30 years old with no complaints, just wanted labs every few years to make sure things are still ticking appropriately. I'm also a physician. The support staff was awful. Inexcusable.
Good visit professional friendly no wait time
I was pleasantly surprised to be called 5 minutes after I walked in the office. Doctor Wilson asked pertinent questions to obtain my medical history. I did not have to fill out a medical form in the waiting room. I have never experienced this level of patient service before. Sandra H.
Verified patient
Dr. Wilson and his staff were welcoming, personable and professional. Medical documents were minimized upon my arrival, due to pre-registering on-line with ZocDoc. The doctors manner was friendly, he listened and explained medical information clearly and without hesitation. I did not feel rushed in his facility as I have at the major medical facility I used regularly. I feel I have found a physician to call 'my doctor' and a facility more accessible for my needs.
Verified patient
While afternoon appts sometimes result in long wait times, Dr Wilson takes ample time with his patience during visits. I never feel rushed,

My visit with Dr Richard Was Grate,
Verified patient
Dr. Wilson is professional. He had read my issue and was prepared to treat it quickly. He answered all of my questions to my satisfaction, completed my prescription, and I was out of his office in no time. I was quite satisfied with my visit.
He was very pleasant and patient. Addressed all of my complaints with concern and a solution for the problems. Thorough examination
Verified patient
Dr Wilson, is a qualified intelligent professional in his field. He listens to his patients. Which makes me comfortable. I would refer him instantly. We love you Doc...
Verified patient
He is amazing! great Doctor
Verified patient
The doctor is very competent and is a good listener. His office staff do not follow up, close the office without warning and cancel appointments with no notice. I don't get the impression they care very much for the patient's wellbeing.
Dr. Wilson was very kind and immediately like-able. He didn't seem rushed or busy... he asked me lots of questions and listened carefully to me when I spoke. He also seemed very thorough in ordering my labs. I thought it was almost funny that he would hold his breath until his face turned red when he was inspecting my eyes and mouth, but i realized that he was just going above and beyond to ensure we weren't sharing germs unnecessarily. His practice is courteous and thoughtful. I'm looking forward to my second visit.
Dr. Wilson is a warm, caring, personable and knowledgeagble physician. He is the best male doctor I've ever seen in the Washington, DC area. I'm so glad I found him on ZocDoc (which I'd never heard of before). I will highly reccomend Dr. Wilson to my friends! Thank you Dr. Wilson and thank you ZocDoc.
Verified patient
This was my first visit, I was very pleased with the medical staff and absolutely impressed with Dr. Wilson. Excellent bedside manner, he truly took the time to listen to you and explain things to you. Looking forward to my next visit, I decided to keep him as my Primary Care Physician. RMcWilliams

Verified patient
An excellent experience. He listened and heard what I had to say because there is surely a difference. His staff was also very professional and courteous.
Verified patient
Excellent doctor and kind staff. He saw me right away and was very thorough and patient, making sure to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Wilson!
Verified patient
The wait was a bit long, but perhaps it was just that day. Regardless, seeing Dr. Wilson was worth the wait. He truly knows his field, listens to you, and treats you as a person with an issue, not just a piece of meat on a conveyor belt as I have had the misfortune to experience with other doctors. I highly recommend Dr. Wilson!
Verified patient
As a new patient, but in good health, I wish that he would have spent more time at least taking more vitals, but maybe he felt what he did was OK considering my health.
The appointment was actually for my mom but she says she really liked her first visit with him and she's hopeful again. He asked questions and he listened.
