Prior to 2014, Dr. Wilson and Dr. David Nutter shared a practice together. Unfortunately through the years, Dr. Wilson has had four surgeries in the base of his tongue and mandible to remove a highly aggressive tumor. In 2014, doctors decided after the most recent surgery that subsequent chemotherapy and radiation was the next course of treatment. He then sold his half of the dental practice and took 5 months off to recover. Fortunately all the MRIs have come back negative and he has been doing great.
