Dr. Wilson is a Colorado native.  Although originally planning to have a ballet career, the universe pushed her towards medicine. She completed a Bachelor of Science at the University of Denver, went on to complete her MD degree at Washington University, did her Urology residency at the University of Southern California, and then a Urologic Cancer fellowship at the University of Colorado.

 

Dr. Wilson was a professor at the University of Colorado and taught surgery for over 15 years. Dr. Wilson mentored over 30 residents, 18 medical students, 2 fellows, and is one of the top 3 busiest surgeons in the operating room both at the University and Littleton Adventist Hospital.  She has written one book, nine chapters, 63 journal articles, and has delivered over 100 lectures. She decided to become part of Centura in 2018, after getting an MBA in healthcare, and was named Chief of Surgery a few months after joining.  2 years after that, she was asked to develop a sub-specialty surgery line. Dr. Wilson has written over 100 peer-reviewed published articles on Urologic Cancer and has given over 300 lectures. She is currently on the faculty for Medical Education Resources, where she educates doctors about Men’s Health, Urologic Cancer, and Urologic infections. She has had the highest volume for cystectomy, a complex reconstructive surgery, for many years and loves to cure people who have Urologic Cancer.

 

Dr. Wilson’s received a half of a million dollars from grateful patients while at the University.  This money has created a foundation where the interest from this principal allows for 4 women surgeons to be granted scholarships each year to have access to mentors, research funding, and other career development tools in an effort to add to the diversity of the University of Colorado Surgery Department.

 

Dr. Wilson is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and serves on the Medical Executive Board of Littleton Adventist Hospital as well as that of the STEM school in Highlands Ranch. Her values center around education, working together, service, and communication. When she heard about Doctorpedia, she felt the platform matched these values and wanted to support this important effort.  When not working, she enjoys playing keyboard in her family band, reading, and enjoying the Colorado Outdoors.
