Good dentist for anxious patients

Visiting the dentist is kind of scary for me, so when I find a dentist I like I stay with them. I just moved to Philadelphia and I’m so glad I found Dr Wilson so fast. He is very reassuring and spent a lot of time to make sure I was ok. I have gum recession and all my previous dentists told me I would have to deal with the sensitivity until I needed gum surgery, but Dr Wilson treated my sensitivity and it’s gone! For the first time since high school I don’t think about my teeth every day.

Dr. Wilson goes above and beyond when it comes to Dental care

Dr. Wilson single-handedly removed all anxiety that I ever associated with a dental visit. His willingness to explain everything from technology used during procedures to medical trials that are currently in the works, allowed me to learn more in one 45 minute visit, than I had learned in my whole life. His passion for what he does is unmatched and I was thoroughly impressed with everything that went into making my experience as effective, efficient, and enjoyable as possible.

An Awesome dental experience

I have been coming to Dr. Wilson for over 30 years. My children and some of my grandchildren see him. Coming to this practice is like coming to visit family. You are greeted warmly in a very comfortable office environment. All of the staff are very skilled and very professional. This is a "no anxiety" environment. Dr. Wilson is very open about what you need and will never try to "sell" you anything unneccessary. I feel that I am in excellent hands with Dr. Wilson and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Comfortable

Seeing Dr Wilson is always a comfortable experience. If you are going there for a problem with your teeth or just there for your check-up, Dr Wilson always treats you like you are his only patient and gives you his full attention.

stress free, personable

I always find the staff here welcoming and friendly. I actually drive quite a distance to have my dental work done at this office. I feel relaxed and I love that they remember almost any conversations and experiences. They truly listen and enjoy spending the time with you. A most welcoming and professional experience wrapped up in one!

Best dentist evah!!

The staff here are always friendly and courteous. As a person who is afraid of dental visits, I am always put at ease, and given time to come to terms with the procedure before it starts.

Perfect combination of professional and personal skills.

I have been seeing Dr. Wilson for about ten years and he and the staff are always a pleasure to deal with. My teenagers have also been patients from about the age of two and he and technicians have always been wonderful with them. I would happily recommend this practice to anyone.
