Dave instilled a pragmatism to address chaotic situations that I have found of value throughout my career.

Perfection in surgery was easy for him. We all tried our best to master his skill level as he selflessly gave his time to teach us the art of veterinary surgery.

Dr. Wilson was a key instructor during my surgical residency. His knowledge is outstanding, and his teaching abilities are exceptional.

David was an excellent resident advisor and continues to be a sounding board for more difficult surgical cases I encounter. His wealth of knowledge, balanced with his practical nature, has made him a wonderful mentor.

I am grateful to have had David G. Wilson as my resident advisor. He provided excellent guidance throughout my whole residency program and after. He helped mold me professionally. Thank you for always inspiring me to put my best foot forward, even when I wasn’t sure I was capable of doing that.

- Steven S. Trostle, DVM, MS, DACVS

David Wilson is a brilliant surgeon, a kind teacher, and sage mentor. He is the model of what it means to engage in the specialty throughout one’s career and to have a lasting impact. I am a more confident, intelligent, and engaging surgeon and teacher because of his influence. He always has a seasoned, educated, and balanced solution and exemplifies both the science and the art of what it is to be a surgeon.
