John Wilson, MD

RESPONSE TO DR. WILSON’S REPLY WHICH STATED «Mr. A’s comments vary from misleading to patently false.»
A. Please point out ONE segment of my original review which is either ‘misleading’ or ‘false.’ Dr. Wilson was quick to suggest comments were misleading or false, but avoided all my points and instead just offered one ‘opinion’, and his own mistruths and denials of what happened.
(* In his own Unilocal response below, Dr. Wilson even admits to «often making people wait.»)
B. If ‘sleep tests’ are such a pertinent part of headache study, how come I wasn’t universally scheduled one, or even suggested one by any of my other half a dozen neurologists? As I stated previously, I was informed that sleep tests are MAINLY administered for patients with SLEEP APNIA OR SLEEP PROBLEMS (not getting enough sleep, fluctuating hours of sleep, erratic sleep, etc) which then may in turn be triggering possible migraines. I was diagnosed to have none of these sleep issues…
C. Dr. Wilson became agitated and eventually rude when I as a patient tried to email or call him with my concerns about my regamine, medicines, or just other random issues I was having in between visits. And this was NOT because of me ‘being rude or bothering him’, per say. I am very respectful, friendly and am very passive. It was probably because Dr. Wilson simply didn’t have any answers for me as time went on. Hence why he finally rudely stated to «Find another neurologist.» (What professional, kind physician says that to any patient in that tone, aside Dr. House?) Keep in mind, his services were far from free — near $ 300 a visit if you were paying out of pocket. Aren’t doctors supposed to always be ‘available’ and ‘customer friendly’ to their PAYING patients???
D. If the fact alone of my Relpax shipment being signed for by his staff, and gone missing out of his office isn’t enough of a red flag for this office’s overall ‘wackiness’, I am not sure what is. The consistent 1 to 1.5 hour appointment waits will probably turn you off first, though. Not saying there isn’t ever a slight wait at doctors offices, but usually it is manageable — maybe 20 minutes to half hour at MOST. (Dr. Wilson’s excuse of ‘time with my patient is my primary focus’ is him simply bloviating, in my opinion. If that is your true focus, stop ‘over-​scheduling’ patients and dis-​servicing them by making them wait extremely long periods, then?).
Fact: Dr. Wilson simply schedules TOO many patients for one set day of hours. The more patients you squeeze in, the more $$ one makes. Simple math.
Finally, I can supply ALL records of everything involving my experience at this firm, from my 4 visits to all of my tests, contents of each visit, the botched and missing Relpax fiasco, and including Dr. Wilson’s EMAILS TO ME. As a paying patient, I have nothing to gain and no reason to lie while writing a review. Also, most doctors DON’T HAVE TIME, or COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ONE LOST PATIENT OR THEIR REVIEW… unless for some reason they are trying to save face.
Dr. Wilson may be good and probably does indeed help many other individuals, I am just giving my exact experience — no lies, no exaggerations, no agenda, nothing to gain. I simply recommend any prospective patient at least weigh the pros against the cons about this practice before giving him your business, just as you would any other place of business.
FINAL NOTE:
(I noticed Dr. Wilson replied to this exact review, and his reply also appears elsewhere on the net under umbrella review sites which «link» to this Unilocal review. On one other professional review site, Dr. Wilson seems to keep flagging and having my review deleted — makes you wonder considering it is a professionally written, factual review. Aren’t patients allowed to fairly review their physicians?
In his reply, Dr. Wilson tried to «spike the football’ and arrogantly stated that he ‘discharged me’ as a patient. This is bogus and COMPLETLEY UNTRUE. Just read my first review below for an exact synopsis of what happened — I saved all email communication and proof of everything.
Dr. Wilson also stated ‘patently false’ info (phrase sound familiar?) how I «harangued» other patients of his? Um. what he means by this or where he got this — who knows? — perhaps he is speaking of somebody else, because nothing of the such with regards to ‘other patients’ is stated ANYWHERE in my reviews. He also inaccurately stated he was ‘bad-​mouthed.’ Not by me. Nowhere in my reviews here was he ever ‘bad-​mouthed’ by me – I even stated in my first review he may be a good doctor who has helped others.
I am offended that Dr. Wilson or his staff would make silly allegations like this — of course his retort and attempts to remove my review are simply ‘damage control’ — I would never go to him again nor recommend his firm to anybody. My reviews are in depth and key-​detailed, but professional, fair, and respectful. Thanks.)
