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.
