Providence PatientGreat job!
Providence PatientDr. Wilson did an excellent job on follow-up from my biopsy results (as well as on the procedure itself of course). The results were ambitious and he was very helpful in consulting with other specialists, as well as working with my own urologist, to come up with a treatment/surveillance plan and explaining the reasons behind it.
Providence PatientMy experience with Dr. Wilson, although a complicated and difficult consultation including some bad news, was perhaps the best visit I have had with a medical doctor ever. He was friendly, approachable and interested in my life beyond my medical condition. He was very knowledgeable about my case and the related cancer and treatment options. He explained his concerns clearly and directly, including making a clear recommendation about the best treatment option, even though it was not surgery (his speciality). We were not interrupted as is so often the case with other doctors. I trusted him completely. I wish all of my medical doctors had the same mannerisms, approach, availability, compassion, knowledge and care as Dr. Wilson. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wilson and his team.

Providence PatientMy visit to Dr Tim Wilson was for a consultation regarding prostate cancer and to evaluate the seervices provided at St Johns vs the folks in Templeton Ca. Dr Wilson provided me with all the information I needed to make a decision on where to have procedures done.

I thank Dr Wilson for his time and good information.
