Dr. Scott A Wilson, MD

Nurse practitioner at Dr. Wilson's office misdiagnosed condition and prescribed contradictory medication. When called back and asked to have DR.'s opinion, was told nurse was just as qualified (by the nurse). Nurse said doctors were "dumb" -- extremely unprofessional. Went to walk in clinic and saw a medical DOCTOR who correctly diagnosed. Was told specifically NOT to take what nurse practitioner had prescribed. In many respects, a doctor's office is only as good as his Front office staff. I have no idea if Dr. Wilson is aware of how rude his staff is -- they were extremely rude -- not to mention unable to correctly make a basic diagnosis that a doctor would've been able to make. DO NOT recommend. They were awful. If could've given less than one star would have.

worst doctors office in rhode island and rudest office staff never get to see dr.Wilson only nurse practitioners and very seldom the same one twice so looking for a new primary care DR.

Poorly run organization. Hard to reach anyone over the phone, poor follow-up and service. Dr. Wilson is knowledgeable and personable. However, he makes himself unavailable. Only fifteen minutes is spent on an annual physical; and he is quite adept at sneaking out of the examination room at exactly the 15 minute mark despite patient need. There is a lot of pressure to see the Nurse Practitioners instead of the doctor. Unfortunately, they represent even a worse alternative.

My husband is the patient. He "inherited" Dr. Wilson from his prior doctor who retired. Early on he actually saw Dr. Wilson at his appointments and felt he had developed a good rapport with his new doctor. But after a few years this 'practice' grew into a business where he no longer sees patients but has many nurse practitioners (NPs) who handle his patients. The office insists on seeing my husband every 3 months for check ups and blood work. This is when he requests prescription refills. There is rarely a follow up to any of the irregularities in test results or health concerns. I see and hear my husband's frustration. I try to keep his prescriptions filled however this always involves follow up phone calls to the office - sometime as many as 4 or 5. Sometimes he runs out of his medications. And then the 3 month visit comes again, and its the same thing again. And again. And to make the whole experience yet even more impersonal, the NPs have secretaries who will return their phone calls. So we don't deal with the Doctor, or the NP but their secretaries. As we read all the other negative experiences left her by other patients we wonder if the Doctor reads these reviews. And if he does, what does he think about them? We would like to ask him to stop being "THE MAN" and start being more of "THE DOCTOR". We would ask that he consider the patients who chose him and put their trust in him for their care. We ask that he again start treating his "Practice" more like a Practice putting patients first where they should be and less like a Buisness where patients are simply a number, or dollar, or just a bother.

HE IS THE MAN!!!

After being a patient for a period of years, I have only seen Dr Wilson once for a brief ten minutes. I have only been seen by nurse practitioners, and truthfully, this is not what I want from a doctor. We pay high health care coverage rates, and I expect to see a physician. I understand that a nurse practitioner is helpful in an office, but I want to be seen by a doctor.

VERY RUDE TO LEAVE PERSON ON PHONE WAITING.

If you expect to see a physician, do not go to this practice. If you expect ANY feedback on any test results, prepare to call and call and call again and again and again. The staff are rude. The NPs are ill prepared to take care of any patient. And the MD is not available. Go elsewhere!!!

I am a new Patient. I thought I was seeing a Dr but had a PA, I thought I would give them a try. first visit went fine. I have sever pain and numbness in my left leg...no calls, no follow up report on an MRI and I have called, only get a voicemail and no return calls. ?????????????I am not sure how I am feeling about my experience

This guy is by far the most pompous, arrogant jerk I've ever met. Everyone in the office makes you feel like you're an inconvenience. This practice is a joke. DO NOT GO HERE!

I have been with Dr. Wilson for approximately 18 months. I have seen him ONCE for about 2 minutes. He had 4-5 PA that do all the work for him. The PA are very friendly and nice but are not doctors. There knowledge falls short. As for the office staff, they are RUDE and it is like a circus in the front office. STAY AWAY

The Cumberland staff is courteous but you will never see a doctor and the billing procedures are beyond chaotic.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wilson for a number of years now. Yes, the practice has grown and yes, he does rely on the PA's, however, they are very friendly and knowledgeable. I have never had a problem getting my prescriptions filled and there is hardly any wait time. I will agree that there does seem to be a high turn over with the PA's and it is rare that I see Dr. Wilson, but I am fine with who I meet! They have all been caring and polite. The office staff are very good and are willing to help any way they can.

this office has gone SOUTH quickly and patient care is not to be found.

Dr. Wilson has gotten too big over the years, his office seems to grow with each passing month. This is not bad, if he were on top of the problems. Start with seeing the Dr., you would be one of the lucky ones if you actually saw him. He has 3 or 4 PA's, who from my perspective are air heads, anytime you ask them something they have to go talk with someone or look it up. They are great for sending you for this and that test and never getting back to you with results. The office staff are RUDE and most of the time give you the feeling that you are there bothering them. The office manager, is great at appeasing you, with promises of checking or taking care of the problem that you have brought to her attention, but as soon as you walk out of that office your problem has been forgotten or just ignored. Dr. W. is a good doctor, too bad he has gotten so big that he has forgotten that he is there to care for the patient and not to look for the BIG bottom line. It was a great office, staffed with a doctor and staff who were caring ---- not so anymore.

My husband just switched to Dr. Wilson's practice and he's sorry that he did. He has not been feeling well for months and they keep sending him for tests and he never gets the test results. They always say that they will call you back but they never do. Very unprofessional!!

Very helpful

Mr Scott Wilson avoided a physical examination due to nervousness within himself.

I was a patient with Dr Wilson for 3 years. It was him and one nurse practitioner. Now he has 4 women working for him and he has 2 locations. Getting an appointment to see his nurse practitioners are easy, seeing him is very difficult. Expect to make several calls because the phone is always busy. Sometimes they answer and say, please hold and I was kept on hold for 20 minutes! I might add that getting the doctor to fill out forms that need to be faxed to other doctors has been an issue since I've been seeing him. He personally has to look over and sign each form and it many times the paperwork hadn't been faxed by the time I had seen the specialist. Needless to say I've found another doctor and I'm not sorry I switched.

Went for my annual doctors visit. To me that is the time to discuss issues etc.The person that gave me my annual physical I had never met. needed prescriptions fill but she was not qualified to write so she talked around the issue. now I have to call to get them filled. If I can get through.alsothey didn't even take my Blood pressure for my annual. Used to like Going to DR Wilson. Not any more. I'm looking!
