Was patient and engaged with me and my wife. The doctor explained things well, and gave me reasonable expectations about what will and will not happen regarding what will occur after my initial consultation.

Dr. Wilkins genuinely cares for his patients. He took enough time (about an hour) to review my medical history and arrive at a treatment plan that made sense to me. He educated me on the details of my condition and answered all my questions. I feel confident that he will provide the best care for me.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
