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.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Wilson for 5 years now. He’s a kinda weird guy and his bedside manner could use some work but he truly understands medication. He’s open to many methods and treatments. He also has a sound understanding of the incompetence of the hospitals in our area. He’ll tell you what he really thinks. He’s pretty good about returning calls and stuff.

ONE OF THE GREATEST MINDS I HAVE YET TO ENCOUNTER! I was a confused addict with a history of literal warzone certified early child rearing chaos. I started as a student/patient and scored a full-scale chance of, nearly imminent failure. Dr. Ken's guidance manifested a recovery like none I imagined possible in my wildest dreams for anyone! I am proud today to have the honor of calling this man one of my greatest friends and colleagues of my life's experience. When Dr. Ken told me that I had achieved full recovery from my former state, I literally cried to my wife... with tears of happiness that are seldom felt in a human's lifetime. Now I am proud to say that this Doctor and I have the same mission: to heal a fractured world and alleviate our world family from all of the unhealthy pain that is so needlessly present. I love this man like a father today! THANK YOU DOCTOR KEN!!!!!!!

Dr. Wilson is competent, but has made me feel on several occasions like I'm an annoyance - including literally calling me annoying in a voicemail and rolling his eyes when I tried to talk about my reaction to a trigger because he doesn't want to hear about relationship drama. The office has perpetual overturn at the front desk, and procedures (even before the pandemic) have been changing along with the staff. Calling for refills sometimes will cost you $10 if you don't go through your pharmacist. I've had them drop my appointments so I show up and am told I don't have one, then have to wait several weeks for the next available time slot. I've also had to cancel an appointment and they haven't logged it, even though it was in a voicemail (often the phone will only go to voicemail even during business hours).

Dr Wilson is very passionate about his work as a psychiatrist. He makes an effort to really get to know his patients and present them with a variety of different approaches to manage your mental health conditions. He is very straightforward and respectful of your wishes regarding medication, which I prefer not to take. He explains all of his reasoning and recommendations using real life personal experiences and his knowledge of science and medicine. He is up to date on current practices in psychiatry and incorporates principles of therapy into his treatment not just a pill pusher. He really presents himself as your ally in your treatment which is so comforting to know you have a competent medical professional advocating for you and your mental health. He has great bedside manner and will give his patients a disclaimer at the first visit regarding his style of practice. He is an exemplary doctor and I am so glad I stumbled upon his practice!

Dr. Wilson is Caring, direct and honest. His extensive knowledge experience and research offers his patients a vast array of choices. I purposely chose him for his beliefs in variety of treatments which are all not of regular prescription medications. Most importantly his passion drives him from that he cares.

Dr Wilson is straight forward, direct and humorous. I appreciate how he takes time to get to know you and also share his experiences and background. He is not judgmental and was not quick to put me on medication. He wanted to fully assess my progress and respected my feelings of not wanting to be on medication. He has a scientific approach, is good at explaining it and how his ideals help to improve our brain functions and coping methods. I trust and appreciate my sessions with him.
