Dr. Wilson was excited to return to upstate SC in 2021 with Kelsey, a Greenville native and Mauldin High graduate. All of Dr. Wilson’s immediate family has since followed to the upstate and he couldn’t be happier to call Greenville home. Dr. Wilson and his wife have a young son, Clark, a dog, Dempsey, and a cat, Zoe.

As a member of the Family Dental Health team, Dr. Wilson provides services such as IV sedation, root canal treatment, extractions, cosmetic dental treatment, and other comprehensive dental care.
