Wilson Richard, DDS

Dr. Wilson has been my dentist for the past few years, and I have to say, after today I’m never going back.
Today he implied my TMJ was «fake» and that «everyone can pop their Jaw if they try hard enough.» No, not like this Dr. Wilson. He was incredibly rude, impatient, and did nothing but lecture me. I’ve told him and his staff countless times that I can do the panoramic x-​ray imaging, and he kept saying we don’t need to do it. Yet, today he seemed to forget when he attempted to give me X-​rays when I began as a new patient, and I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to get the films to fit, he asked the staff stop.
Seems to me he needs to fix his attitude toward his patients.
I will not tolerate being treated in such a degrading way. And no, my TMJ is not fake. Get off your high horse and actually be a decent Doctor.

Dr. Wilson and his staff are wonderful! He is meticulous in his work and put me at ease at once.

I hate going to the dentist. Mostly, no one likes going… but I’ve got the dental anxiety part too. I avidly avoided the dentist for almost a decade.
I deserve a cookie? Certainly an Oreo. = not so much for my teeth, as a growing toothache informed me.
Dr. Wilson was awesome! When I made my appointment, I asked the front office staff about ‘my lil problem’… and the Dr Wilson talked me through every step of what turned out to be a much longer course of care than my little anxiety riddled brain would like.
He was conservative in his approach. There was no talk of removing all my previous fillings (to change metals), and said he would simply take care of it as it became necessary. Every recommendation he made was for clear reason, and he was available to explain all of it in detail.
During procedures he talked me through the whole thing (and showed me instruments prior to putting them in my mouth), which DID make it take longer, but at least I wasn’t freaking out about that sharp
thing in my peripheral vision, on the mere possibility of it entering my mouth.
2 root canals, 2 crowns, and a new filling later… I’m perfectly okay with returning for my cleaning. While I’ll probably never look forward to my visit (but who does), I no longer feel the urge to imitate my cat on a V-​E-​T day, and hide under the couch.
