Awful human. Told her I had debilitating anxiety and rather than help me, she spent the next two years criticizing me. When I suffered injuries from a serious car accident, she said my pain was in my head and caused by anxiety despite other medical professionals writing her letters proving the extent of my injuries. I went to see her for a growth on my foot and she looked it at it for 2 seconds and wrote me a prescription for a topical cream. I’m not a doctor but I could have told you that a topical cream will not heal a growth under the skin. I don’t know why she’s a doctor, she clearly does not care about people’s health. Her license should be taken away.

Literally the worst human being you can imagine. Made me have a panic attack because of how rude and disgusting her attitude was. She talks to you as if you are beneath her and less than human. Should NOT have a license to practice as a doctor.

She is a terrible listener , treats patients as you feel the lowest human being and make you feel helpless ,interrupt patient to make it quick and get out of the room. Made me cry many times after I left the clinic . On phone even worse ,doesn't stay more than 4-5 minutes while she is paid at least for 15 minutes. When I told her that I have abdominal pain for almost 2 months didn't want to see me in the office to palpate my abdomen ,but only wanted my to take clear fluid for two days and if didn't work go to ER . She doesn't even greet a patient when enter the room , nor respond your greeting . The only thing that she cares going out of the room in 2-3 minutes after arrival. She only want to be paid and she is not interested in being a doctor.I think she could be a good real state agent.

Very dismissive. Had no time to address anything and couldn't wait to get out of exam room. She has checked out!

I'm deeply saddened by the care I've received by Dr. Wilson on numerous occasions. I've never felt so dismissed or unimportant as a patient before. She's snappy, has no time for you, and will not entertain any questions or concerns you have unless you fire them off while she's on the way out the door. I really like the staff and other doctors I've had at Lonsdale Medical Clinic, but unfortunately Dr. Wilson is one staff member I will (and recommend others to) avoid. The comment below about bedside table manner of a bartender was funny but sadly very relatable. At least she was punctual, but that's an unfortunate trade off (and there should not be such a thing as trade off in due diligence/ duty of care from a doctor).

Had horrible experience with her . She is getting pretty good money for doing nothing. What a waist of tax payer dollar ! For so many years people are unhappy with her and this clinic and nothing is changing! Get her out ! North Van deserves better health care .

Dr wanted to end call right away and did not address a recommendation but more so had no interest.
She said I can’t review your whole file as I only have a few mins with you ..I felt really disregarded.

I booked this appointment to address some debilitating mental health/anxiety issues, and she could have cared less. Our entire interaction was 4 minutes, and he advice was to get blood work done. Very rude. 10/10 would not recommend. Avoid!!!!

Not my best interaction with a doctor. She just wanted to end the call. She was not very open to questions. A 15 minute appointment call was over in under 4 and half minutes. If I didn't ask questions, it probably would of lasted 2 minutes.
On to her next call I presume.

Horrible doctor. Told her I was desperate for hormones as suffering hot flashes up to 5 an hour, every hour. Wasted 2 weeks of my time, had blood test and wouldn’t prescribe them after all that. Did tell me I had high cholesterol. Have been eating cheeseburgers and pizza ever to wrap things up as quickly as possible. Did way more harm than good.
