Dr. Michael Wilson graduated from New York University College of Dentistryin 2005. After practicing fortwo years in New York City,it came to Dr. Wilson's attentionthat there was asignificant unmetneed for dental care inupstate New York. Many dentists are not willing to treat Medicaid patients, as low reimbursements and high no-show rates often accompany this demographic.Dr. Wilson openeda practice in Binghamton in March 2008to address this huge unmet need andincrease access to care for an underserved population. The practice grew to 14 doctors within two years.In late2010, Dr Wilson realized that Syracusealso needed more dentists willing to treat Medicaid patients after a patient had driven an hour down to Binghamtontoreceive specialty treatment at Wilson Dental.
Our team of doctors includes several general dentists and a variety of dental specialists (pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, orthodontists and anesthesiologists). A similar comprehensive team would be almost impossible to find in Upstate NY.
Although a big part ofWilson Dental'sgrowth has to do with the significant amount ofpre-existing need that existed in these communities before we opened our doors, a lot of it also has to with the caringnature ofour doctors and staff. Patients who have been to our office know that we genuinelycare about them, and that makes them want to tell their friends.
