Mr Michael Wilson is a Consultant General and Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeon with extensive experience in minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery. He specialises in gallbladder surgery, hernia repair, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Practising privately at Dundee Outpatient Centre and Kings Park Hospital in Stirling, he also serves as the Clinical Lead for General Surgery at NHS Forth Valley. Additionally, Mr Wilson holds a visiting position as a Major Trauma Surgeon at St Mary’s Hospital Major Trauma Centre, part of the Imperial College Healthcare Trust in London.
Mr Wilson is highly regarded for his expertise in laparoscopic gallbladder removal, often sought out by patients requiring swift and effective treatment for gallbladder-related conditions. His skill in hernia surgery includes both groin and abdominal wall hernias, and as the lead for the complex hernia regional multidisciplinary team, he offers advanced surgical techniques such as abdominal wall reconstruction supported by botulinum toxin injections. He is also experienced in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, diagnosing and treating conditions such as acid reflux, non-cardiac chest pain, swallowing difficulties, and stomach pain. His training in anti-reflux surgery places him among a select number of surgeons in Scotland able to provide surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease and achalasia.
Committed to holistic patient care, Mr Wilson believes in treating the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on the surgical condition. He works closely with a multidisciplinary team that includes nurses, radiologists, anaesthetists and physiotherapists to ensure each patient receives comprehensive care before, during and after surgery. He also provides guidance on lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and weight management, helping patients reduce their peri-operative risks and improve their long-term recovery and wellbeing.
Mr Wilson is a strong advocate for research and innovation in surgery. He actively contributes to high-impact studies and promotes the involvement of patients in shaping future healthcare services. His research work plays a role in developing national clinical guidelines, refining surgical procedures, and improving overall standards in general and gastrointestinal surgery. He is also known for his inclusive care of patients with higher body mass index, tailoring his surgical approach to their specific needs and offering guidance to support their health both before and after surgery.
In addition to his clinical practice, Mr Wilson is deeply involved in surgical education and mentorship. He is a faculty member of the Definitive Surgical Trauma Skills course, a consultant appraiser, and a contributing member of national surgical organisations such as the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Benign Upper Gastrointestinal Surgical Society. He is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a Member of the Faculty of Surgical Trainers.
Mr Wilson also serves in the Royal Navy Reserves as a Consultant Surgeon within the Healthcare & Medical specialisation, where he holds the role of SO1 Medical Officers. He is currently the only consultant general surgeon in the Royal Navy Reserves, providing specialist care in military settings and contributing to the medical readiness of UK service personnel.

Mr Michael Wilson is professional and reassuring. He clearly explains procedures like gallbladder surgery and hernia repair. Patients feel at ease and confident from his care, with operations proving successful and recovery good. His practice highlights clear communication and excellent surgical outcomes.
I was recently under the care of Mr Michael Wilson for the diagnosis and repair of an Umbilical Hernia. Throughout each stage of the process, his professional and friendly communication greatly helped my confidence in the procedure. He gave clear written notes following each consultation and was happy to answer any questions I had. In particular, providing thoughtful advice on my return to a highly active lifestyle post surgery. I would highly recommend him.
From the initial consultation right through to the surgical procedure I found Mr Wilson to be thoroughly professional, highly skilled and exceptionally experienced. I had complete confidence in him at all times. He was attentive, straightforward and dedicated to my care. An excellent communicator Mr Wilson made me feel reassured that I was in safe hands and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as an incredible surgeon. I am delighted to say my surgery was a complete success with no complications which is all thanks to Mr Wilson’s amazing care, expertise and attention.
I had hernia surgery recently performed by Michael. He gave me total confidence in him, he has a good personality and you feel after consultation you are in good hands. Called me after surgery after few days to see how I was which was a nice touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing his skills.
Friendly and very professional. Took his time and it never felt rushed.
Mr Wilson was an excellent surgeon. He was very approachable, easy to talk to and above all he listened to any particular issues or concerns I raised regarding my health and subsequent operation. He explained clearly about my operation and the outcome. It was all very straightforward, after the operation I needed limited pain relief and recovered very quickly. I would definitely recommend Mr Wilson.
Mr Wilson was a fantastic consultant. Excellent care and service for hernia repair op.
Dr Wilson went over and above all my expectations at every single stage. From diagnosis to the procedure itself he was available 24 hours a day and even replied to a query I had whilst he was on holiday. A very pleasant and happy person to deal with I can’t recommend him enough. I had never been operated on before and glad I had him to ease all my concerns. I hope I never need his services again as that would mean im ill but if I’m ever in a situation where I am, I’ll one hundred percent be asking for him.
I'd been through a rather complicated journey with appendicitis. Treated within an NHS hospital and again in Spain, I was relieved to meet Mr Wilson who agreed to perform my procedure. He and his team were fantastic even supporting me throughout a tricky journey. I'm glad I finally took the steps to have the procedure done privately.
So I was under the care of Mr Wilson for abdominal surgery ( hernia ) which seemed to appear over night Had a very short wait for consult and even a short wait for the procedure . All interactions with Mr Wilson and other surgical staff were excellent
Saw Mr Wilson at King Park Hospital, diagnosed Inguinal Hernia quickly and planned key hole repair and dates that aligned with my condition and commitments. Great communication with him personally to finalise dates for procedure. On the day everything went as explained and expected, followed up with call to check after my discharge. My recovery has been very easy and relatively pain free, hopefully I will not need another hernia procedure but I would absolutely not look further than Mr Wilson again and cannot recommend him highly enough.
First knew Michael as a very junior doctor in training who has now developed into a General Surgical colleague to whom I’m most pleased to refer patients
