Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He’s a very good doctor. He listened to all my concerns. Most doctors just focus on one thing, but he focuses on all your concerns and he genuinely cares. I went in concerned about several issues and he helped me with all of them and listened without rushing me. He’s a great doctor.

I swear to my hand on my bible I will never call his clinic or his staff ever .I have and will file and write complaints to every organization possible. In August I was In need of a decent primary care physician and was told to use charles Wright so I did I will say my first visit was fairly decent. And felt he was out to help. As of October 1st he and his nurse set fire to my blood I was treated with complete disrespect and no compassion what so ever. For 2 months he flat lied to me about refferals I asked him to send he said he would I called several times over the 2 month period checking the status I was told a flat lie that it would be taken care of on my visit on OCTOBER 1st again said they would check and take care of the referrals I asked for! I then asked for another refferal to another doctor I had used in the past and he drilled me with the 3rd degree about going to her digging for information that was none of his business asking. Finding out he never sent a one refferal .

Dr. C. Kent Wright is a phenomenal physician. He is dedicated to his patients. Dr. Wright's standard of care is of the highest quality. He is an exceptional listner, he explains everything in layman's terms, and he talks to you- not at you or down to you. Dr. Wright is tremendously knowledgeable, professional, and personable. You couldn't ask for a better primary care/family physician.
