Dr. Wilkerson is a board-certified hand surgeon who specializes in disorders of the hand, wrist and elbow in children and adults. He has published multiple papers and book chapters on acute, chronic, and traumatic conditions involving the upper extremity.

Dr. Wilkerson was born in New York City and raised in northern New Jersey. He and his wife have two children and live in Cumberland. When not seeing patients Dr. Wilkerson enjoys spending time with his family and hiking, skiing, and biking throughout Maine. Dr. Wilkerson serves on the ASSH volunteer services committee and has previously volunteered on surgical relief missions to Haiti and Vietnam.

Treatment Philosophy

"My number one goal for every patient I treat is to get them back to doing what they want to do, whether it's playing for the Red Sox or playing with their grandkids. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me."

Dr. Wilkerson cared for my 12 year old son’s broken hand. While he manages several patients a day, he takes time to ensure we feel comfortable with the healing process. Most importantly, for my son, he is likable. Additionally, I am impressed with each team member we encounter along the way from the technician taking temperatures at the door, the check-in administrator, the nurse and everyone in the cast room. They give us big smiles, clear instructions, and support. This is a great office committed to the healing of their patients.
