As an adult who sought out orthodontic care, I could not have asked for a better experience. Dr. Wilson and his staff are some of the most professional and courteous people I have encountered. They are dedicated to ensuring you know what to expect every step of the way. Dr. Wilson takes the time to get to know each of his patients, which allows him to formulate a specific treatment plan for each patient. His knowledge and passion for what he does is evident by the job he performs and the time he takes with each patient. If you are in the market for orthodontic care, look no further than Wilson Orthodontics. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Wilson and his staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met! My daughter was very nervous about braces and they helped ease her nerves considerably. I was intending to check a couple of places before deciding, but as soon as we met Dr. Wilson and Karina we looked no further. Cannot recommend them enough! I'd give 10 stars if that was an option!

Excellent practice with a warm, caring staff! Everything is explained in detail from the first appointment/consultation to each visit afterwards. The results are phenomenal! My oldest daughter is ecstatic with her new smile and my next is starting treatment in a couple of weeks. Thank you Josh and Karina for being great at what you do!

I did not actually visit in person but wanted to leave a review based on the service I received over the phone. Karina was so kind and helpful! I called several places over a holiday weekend, and she was the first to get back to me and went out of her way to find specific information that I requested. A top-notch front office staff is so vital, and they definitely have that. I will definitely visit if I have a future need.

I have never reviewed anyone good or bad, but I had to post about how impressed I am with Dr. Wilson and his staff. It more than obvious that he cares about his patients and puts their needs first. He mentioned to me in my brief conversation with him the he loves what he does and this is evident by the passion he displays when talking to him. I have been managing physician offices for over 20 years and I know a well run practice when I see one. Dr. Wilson is a pleasure and I am very thankful that he choose our community to practice in. If you are looking for someone who is professional, sincere, and will take great of you child's dental health then you need to go see Dr. Wilson.

Dr. Wilson was exactly what I was hoping we'd find in our children's orthodontist. He was extremely kind, warm, inviting, informative, thorough and patient! Most importantly, I could feel his heart and passion. He truly loves and respects his career and patients. I highly recommend him! We felt very loved, embraced and taken care of during our time together!
