I was referred to Dr. Wilson a few years back after being misled by many doctors over the years. I was really at a breaking point…. Dr. Wilson literally returned my call the very same day that I contacted him. Dr. Wilson has been an absolute godsend. He is kind, compassionate, and extremely professional. Dr. Wilson is highly skilled. He actively listens without any judgment. He makes you feel heard and valued. He gives great counsel, and pays close attention to all details. He is an outstanding professional who genuinely cares about his patients well-being. We highly recommend him. Lisa C. Wyomissing, PA

After working with a network Psych-NP that rushed through my appointments and did not have the time to develop a rapport, I located Dr. Wilson. The intake process was simple. He listens to your concerns and asks the right questions during the initial appointment to make an accurate diagnosis. I had been working with a therapist, and Dr. Wilson took an interest in that treatment plan by speaking with them upon my consent. Dr. Wilson takes a holistic approach to treatment by recommending lifestyle changes and treating the patient as a whole, not each symptom exclusively. He answers questions and addresses concerns I have with different medications in thorough. I would recommend Dr. Wilson as a first choice to anyone looking to develop a treatment plan that is sustainable and individually tailored to achieve your best outcomes.
