Dr. John Richard Wilson, MD

Dr Wilson has been my doctor for over 15 years he is the best doctor on the planet and I have over 15 so that says a lot. He has the patience of a saint - yes you might have to wait in the waiting room but he listens to everything you have to say he does not rush you out of the room so it's worth the wait

I've read all your reviews. And I'm quite confused Eva is in charge of it. If I leave one more voice message for Eva I will be at 20. Or dead. Dr Wilson your reviews say it all. She's horrible. Rude. She hide in a dark office. And ignores phone calls.I've stood at windows. For an awful Period of time ever u and by the time is my turn I get 6 minutes of silence

I am a patient who suffers from migraines. I call the office and leave messages, I do not know if the doctor gets them. I called again this week, and was told by the very rude Irma that a detailed message was left. When i called today I was hung up on several times by Eva, and this is not the first time, I have mentioned this before. I came to get my medication and I spoke to Christina who left me the message, I played it for her, I said that it was not detailed. She explained that she left the message to call, she would never leave a message regarding a medication or a balance, which i can respect. While i was at the door with her, I could hear someone swearing and talking about football the whole time. Honestly Dr Wilson, your great but why is this office manager still even employed. Seems to me all your complaints are about her.

I have been calling the office for weeks about my sleep results. The person that handles that isn't the doctor. Whoever she is the worst person I have ever dealt with. Message after message. She still hasn't call me back. Dr Wilson your going to have lawsuits on your hands with this idiot. Spoke to her once. She put me on what she thought was hold and I heard her scolding what sounded like a family member. She came back to my call and I questioned what was happening and she said that I must have misheard and put me on hold again. 7 minutes later the call dropped. I will NOT be back. Good luck.

I have not come in to see Dr yet. I spoke to Ava when I called. She put me on hold 5 times. When I asked her name she yelled it. Then told me that she was the one "who runs the practice". She thought she had me on hold. Well she didn't. I heard her say "I can't deal with this I'm transferring the b****. The girl that picked up had to ask all the same questions. When I asked why she switched me to her instead she said that she wasn't sure. I didn't want to tell her what I heard. But I will still come in for my aapt. And let the Dr know.

I waited 3 months for my results. Everytime I called I was told eva was on phone or left. Or put on hold for 20 minutes to be disconnected. I called Dr several times. He did nothing. I came here to see that this seems to be how he runs his practice..won't be long before they have lawsuits on their conscience..You make people feel like they could die from sleep problems. But you have a person that avoids set up and results and is so vicious when you finally do talk to her? Honestly..one of my worse experience in life..

I won't go back. I had waited quite some time for my visit. I was warned so that was expected. I cannot even believe the way I heard the secretaries being spoke to. I noticed whomever it was that was belittling the staff was in a dark office. I found a great doctor but as far as the dark office goes I was embarrassed that I heard that.

I went to Dr. Wilson several years back as I have had a serious headache and migraine condition for almost 10 years and at that time it was recommended that Dr. Wilson was just the person I needed to see. Read on for the skinny: - First off, you'll notice that when you go in for your appointment, NO MATTER WHAT TIME YOU SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR, Dr. Wilson will finally get to you upwards of an hour and a half (literally) later. If you have an appointment for 3pm, be prepared to sit until about 4:30 pm. And you will notice his office is always PACKED with people, who are also waiting way behind their appointment times. In the four times I was in to see him, it didn't matter what time my appointment was, or how early I got there. I even PURPOSELY scheduled what would be my last appointment seeing him to be his FIRST slot in the morning at 10:00am at his Melrose Park office. I still wasn't taken until 11am at that appointment. (** Dr. Wilson later denied my waits were anything… more than 45 minutes, and that I never had a '10am appointment' at his Melrose Park office. Both are simply a lie. I know how to read a clock and watch, and my own mother was with me/drove me/waited for me for 2 of these visits. He took me an hour after my appt at his Melrose Park office). - While I will not say Dr. Wilson was terrible, he did not help me. We tried many different medications and plans, none of which helped. Even though his visits cost upwards of $300 without insurance, he would get frustrated and annoyed when I tried to contact him (phone, email, etc) about the problems I was having and even just simple, curious questions I would ask about my medicines or my condition. - One time, he scheduled me for a "sleep test." He thought my migraine problem might be due to 'lack of sleep' or sleep apnia. I told him I didn't have any sleep problems, but he pushed the test anyways. I didn't take it, and it upset him. On a side note, most of the other neurologists I have been to have told me that "sleep tests" rarely do little unless you are having a 'sleep related problem' (seems common sense), and 'can sometimes just be given as money making ploys'. - Another time, I had my prescriptions of Relpax (for migraines, similar to Imitrex) delivered to his office straight from their parent company for a cheaper price. When I went to pick them up (I live 19 miles away), they mysteriously weren't there! When I called the drug company, they stated and proved to me that my medication WAS DELIVERED, and even signed for by somebody in Dr. Wilson's office. Dr. Wilson's staff could not account for my medication despite a signature, so it had to all be re-ordered - which meant another 38--mile round trip. Somebody goofed, or just took the pills and probably used them as office samples. To top it off, the office staff got ticked off AT ME (?) when I then asked for some 'samples' to supplement THEIR MISTAKE. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. - In the end, I never felt any better. Dr. Wilson just kept giving me different medications and such that never worked, and tests that never revealed anything (* I must add though, that I DO NOT REGRET taking these tests which included cat-scans, MRI'S, and even an echo-cardio-gram test. The tests are necessary/helpful if you have a severe problem such as mine, and I recommend them myself). One pharmacist at Costco asked me why my neurologist was prescribing a certain medication as they said they felt 'this medication is very old school and in recent years studies have shown it really doesn't help migraine sufferers'. Naturally, any patient would have wanted to ask their doctor about this... - I confronted Dr. Wilson with my concerns, and just simple curious questions (in an always professional and friendly manner - I still have email proof saved), etc. and he finally told me RUDELY to "just find another neurologist." He had no reply for me when I asked him how much I paid him for his services, and told him that it was his job as a doctor to help the patient, and do research for the patient in a professional and friendly manner. Needless to say, I don't recommend this place. Others may have had good experiences with Dr. Wilson and that is completely fine. But for everybody, having both sides of a story is beneficial.

My first visit to the Oak Brook office i had to wait over an hour. My second visit i went to the Melrose park office and had to wait for over an hour again! My third visit was a little over 40 minute wait. On my third visit he prescribed me with a medication that caused me to black out while walking to church. I smashed my forehead on a cement light post and suffered from a severe concussion. My third visit to see Dr. Wilson was my last.

I was referred to Dr. Wilson by another doctor. I was highly disappointed in the : one hour and twenty minute wait, the people I encountered were not unfriendly but not professional (the fax machine was going crazy because he does not believe in the internet - or medical records being sent, he carries files in a box from office to office), and I was mis-diagnosed. I told the doctor I thought I had vertigo but he said I did not and wanted me to come back and have a bunch of tests done. I went to another doctor and was properly diagnosed with vertigo which was remedied almost immediately by a Physical Therapist at Elmhurst Hospital. They were fantastic!!! I refer them often. Dr. Wilson is stuck in 1945.
