Tiffany D Wilson, MD

This may sound dramatic, but Tiffany Wilson SAVED MY LIFE. On my first appointment with her as my new primary care doctor, she decided to biopsy 3 moles. NONE of them looked that bad, but I am fair and have a history of basal cell. One of those moles came back as melanoma. It was 1.37 mm in thickness and within a week’s time, I had a wide excision on my back (under anesthesia, 18 stitches) AND two lymph nodes removed. Thankfully, it had not yet spread there but would have in mere months’ time since it has a fast mitosis rate. In any case, I WAS regularly checked by a dermatologist (Gary Lee in Irvine) who never picked up on it. She said that it is within the standard of care for a dermatologist to «watch» moles — even suspicions ones — for change. Bewildered and BEYOND thankful, I asked her why she did not do that. She said because she is a cancer survivor. Thank God I went to her.

I’ve been going here for years however; office seems to be gearing towards cosmetics more. Not to mention, limiting ones appointment time? Not the great feeling I used to get coming here. I best talk fast to make sure I don’t go over 15 minutes! Just not the same since Dr. Werksman left. NPA Diane is wonderful as is Dr. Wong. Dr. Mehrok was too however; she’s since left.

zero stars! One is being generous!
Incompetent beyond belief, the front desk staff is clueless as to what’s going on. Dr Wilson is a robot! Office is barely open. They open for two hours of the day, take half the day off whenever they wish, take two hour lunch beaks, get back to you with all the wrong information and the list goes on…
Time to find another PCP!!!

After selecting Tiffany Wilson and Kelly Wong as my PCP many years ago I kept them as my PCP even though I’ve changed companies multiple times throughout the years as I’ve only gone to seek medical advice on average probably once a year.
I try to get my annual physical done every year but you know how that goes… sometimes you forget or life is so busy you might miss a year or two.
My biggest complaint has always been the front office staff. Funny how when you look at other Unilocal reviews for other doctors office many complain about front office staff as well. Not sure if they are just over worked or under payed or both?
They are rude and short and direct and don’t mind talking trash/​gossiping right after you leave the door, even though «us» patients are sitting not to far in the waiting room and can hear everything. Makes you wonder what they say about you when you leave the doctors office.
The straw that broken the camels back is when I went in early June 2015 to have my index finger checked that occurred from basketball. Since I was there I also informed Dr. Wilson about my lingering back issues. It seems as though she did not appreciate me keeping my injuries piled up and be presented in one office visit.
Hey, I’m just trying to maximize my 20 bucks co-​pay!
Anyways after being sent for X-​rays i did not get my results. I called a couple of days later and I was told that they would get the results for me or emailed to me. NOTHING
My wife decided to call for me and the front office told her that she remembered my request but they were VERY busy.
Fast forward… I finally got my results from a mailed letter that the results came back normal.
It was postmarked SEPTEMBER 15, 2015!
3 months to get my results.
Doesn’t matter, I finally after all these years switched PCP.
I do not recommend this office/​practice.

Been coming here for years and the only person I have ever been in contact with (other than the staff) is NP Dianne Schwartz. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and friendly. I would not want to see anyone else now as I am spoiled. Lucky for me, when my insurance plan changed, I was still able to be covered at this office. I would highly recommend Dianne to all.

Closed my eyes and pointed to a spot in the «provider» book when I first moved to the area and I landed on Tiffany Wilson, MD. I saw her a couple of times, but usually she is not available. Seems like she wants to be a mom more than a doctor… that’s fine, I get that. That’s cool because NP Diane Schwartz is there to fill the void. I have since moved a bit out of the area, but Diane Schwartz is the reason I keep coming back… so compassionate, professional and competent. Love her!!!

A year ago I would have given this place a 10 star if I could. I started seeing Dr. Wilson a few years back when I moved to Irvine since I didnt really have a set dr and my insurance referred me to this office. They where great the girls in the in the front where always very helpful and nice. In the last 6 months I have had to visit my dr. more often then usual and may I add I still dont know what is wrong with me, anyway I noticed the girls there now are rude and not too happy to be there not sure why. The last few times I have been there I get called in quickly but then get to sit in the room for 45 plus mns. with an appointment. Which would be fine if someone would come in to let me know the dr. is running late. The first time this happened I though they forgot i was there. When the dr. finally comes in she is in a hurry and doesn really seem to care. When ever I had blood work done they would call with results within 2 – 3 days now you have to call them in order for them to rememeber to review your results not sure if thats the drs. fault or the girls in the front. I have seen the nurse practioner Diane and honestly hope she is the one to see me when i do come in, she is the reason I even gave this place any stars at all. As soon as they can hopefully figure out what is wrong with me i will be taking my file elsewhere. I honestly never really review places unless I feel I should, sadly this is one of those times.

After coming here for several years, I have to update my review.
Dealing with the office staff is painful. They are disorganized and not knowledgeable when you ask questions. For example: one year I made an appointment for my physical. I asked if the appointment date was okay in terms of having my insurance cover it, and they said yes. I arrived at the office and was told oops, sorry, your insurance won’t cover it for another week. It was a big waste of my time, especially since I’d already asked them to double check and they obviously didn’t do that.
One of the doctors here told me that two of the medications I’d been on for years were going to interact with each other, and that I really needed to stop taking one of them. I did. Of course, my next round of blood work results were awful. I called and insisted that she review my records. Oh, she said, I made a mistake; at the low doses you’re on, those medications are fine.
Oh, while we’re on the topic: I started having really weird migraines and was referred to a neurologist. He was adamant that I stop taking the pill because the estrogen in it would put me at risk of a stroke. Dr. Wilson really didn’t think it was a problem. I changed birth control methods anyway. The migraines all but stopped.
Then there is the fact that you can’t actually speak to a doctor or nurse here. You can only leave a voicemail and they’ll eventually call you back. The office staff does not allow you to actually call your doctor.
The only reason that this place gets more than one star is Nurse Diane. Diane is wonderful and I highly encourage you to see her if you can deal with the office staff. She actually remembered not only my medical history but also what we chatted about during the previous visit. When I got a new job, she even called to congratulate me. Diane made me feel like she cared about me. She is also extremely knowledgeable. I have always felt that I got better care from nurse practitioners than from doctors, and Diane is no exception.

I have been a patient of Dr Wilson’s for several years and I am looking elsewhere! The front desk staff seems ‘put out’ when I call to speak to a nurse or make appointment. And Dr Wilson is adequate in terms of training I do not think she is someone you would want to go to if you need expert super intelligent thought through medical care, I felt rushed and brushed off by her. I have had better doctors I just kept Dr Wilson because of convenience but have been researching new doctors. I do not recommend going here if you really want a doctor that understands you.

I also have only seen NP Diane for physicals and routine «maintenance» since I started coming here several years ago and have nothing but good experiences with Diane and the office in general. Friendly and knowledgeable pretty much sums it up.

I come here for my yearly check ups. The NP that usually checks up on me is named Diane. She’s super friendly and thorough. She even remembers me even though I only see her once a year. The office is small and clean and the receptionists/​med assistants are helpful.
