Michael R. Wilkerson, MD
Dr Michael Wilkerson was born in Nashville, Tennessee and completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN. He received his Medical Degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN. After medical school, he moved to Jackson, TN where he completed a family medicine residency and then an ER fellowship. He was board certified in Family Medicine in 2013. He enjoys the idea of overall care in family medicine, and the atmosphere of the ER.
He is married to his beautiful wife, Meg, and together they have two sons, Noah (10 yrs old) and Finnley (9 yr old). Meg was previously an RN who currently stays home with their boys teaching/schooling. After visiting the Big Island a few times, they discussed how much they love the culture of the islands and would take the opportunity to relocate if it arose. Fortunately, the opportunity did arise, and after prayerful consideration, they happily took it moving to the Big Island in 2014. They both have enjoyed adopting the lifestyle of the islands, and forming new friendships and experiences.
Dr Wilkerson and his wife enjoy outdoor activities, adventures, trying new things together, and hanging out with the family. They also enjoy playing and watching all types of sports – especially the Tennessee Vols! Dr Wilkerson works at Hilo Medical Center, Hale Ho’ola Hamakua, Queen’s North Hawaii Community Hospital and Kohala Hospital.
