North Alabama Family Psychiatry & Counseling

Dr. Wilson is exactly the sort of person that I think should be doing this kind of practice. Several reviews mention her reserved personality and say that this is a negative trait, but those who suffer from mental illness don't always need someone who just agrees with them to make them feel better in the short term. The motivation to change never comes from staying in a place of comfort. Dr. Wilson is the kind of person who will be blunt enough to keep your attention while she tells you what needs to be done.

We are new to Dr. Wilson's practice but have been very happy so far. She is upfront, explains her thoughts and recommendations and takes our intuition and experience into consideration. While she is very pleasant and polite, she isn't super warm and cuddly. But we aren't there for a best friend we are looking for someone to make professional and non-emotional decisions regarding the care of the situation.

I've been seeing Dr. Wilson for approximately two years now and I have not been dissatisfied. At first, I was put off by her reserved demeanor but as someone else said, she is not there to be my new BFF. Once you have seen her a couple of times, she does become a "real person". Also, at first, I felt she was very quick to prescribe meds but then again, she is a psychiatrist and that is how psychiatrist do their part of mental health. I only have two issues with the practice; she tends to run late and they are very very strict about their cancellation policy. I can understand the need for it but they should also realize that emergencies happen in life. If an emergency happened on her part, we don't get a free session out of it so why are the patients given the same leeway at least once or twice a year? It is my understanding that this is the practice's policy and not Dr. Wilson's, so I can't fault her but it is a hassle to pay the late cancellation fee when the cancellation was unavoidable.

I think she's great. She doesn't coddle her patients or waste my time. She listens to me when I tell her my medication preferences, and I've been doing great on her medication suggestions.

Similarly to others, I've been seeing her for 3+ years with no improvement or results. She prescribed a plethora of medications that at times caused suicidal ideation. Wilson responded poorly to my worse times with lack of empathy or care. It has been like walking on eggshells because she is flippant. She guilt-trips you into staying as her patient and told me I would never get off medication. I would NOT recommend this psychiatrist.
