    Dr Wilson was incredibly thorough and caring. It was clear she knows medicine and she was willing to explore a variety of options with their associated pros and cons so I can make an informed decision. I would highly recommend her!

    We have been so impressed with Dr. Wilson and the time she takes to explain conditions and options to us. Our son has had seizures for 19 years, and Dr. Wilson has finally been able to explain things to us we never understood before; and we feel it has helped us to help our son.

    La Doctora Carey nos atendió con mucha amabilidad como siempre escuchó nuestras preocupaciones acerca de nuestra hija Antonella Y nos preguntó acerca de otro tratamiento si estábamos de acuerdo para hacerlo siempre poniendo mucho interés en lo que le decíamos Y buscando la mejor manera de ayudar a nuestra hija estamos muy agradecidos con ella.

    We were nervous about seeing a new neurologist for our sons complex seizure disorder, but Dr. Wilson was amazing! She had reviewed his file, asked clarifying questions, gave us some good explanations/understanding, and involved us in making a plan for future actions.
