Dr. Wilson was born in West Palm Beach, Florida. He calls the Northwest home and has lived here for the majority of his life. After moving from Florida at age 1, his family moved to Puyallup, Washington and after living there for 6 years, he lived in Singapore for 6 years. His family made the decision to move back to the United States and they called West Linn, Oregon home. He graduated from West Linn High School as a Valedictorian and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Santa Clara University. Dr. Dan earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Oregon Health Sciences University in 2001. Immediately following dental school, he completed a General Practice Residency (GPR) at the VA Hospital in Portland, Oregon. He has been practicing and living in Clark County since 2002. Prior to 2014, Dr. Wilson and Dr. David Nutter shared a practice together. Unfortunately through the years, Dr. Wilson has had four surgeries in the base of his tongue and mandible to remove a highly aggressive tumor. In 2014, doctors decided after the most recent surgery that subsequent chemotherapy and radiation was the next course of treatment. He then sold his half of the dental practice and took 5 months off to recover. Fortunately all the MRI’s have come back negative and he has been doing great.
