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.

Dr. Wright is very good at what he does. I trust him. He really cares about his patients. He has operated on me twice. I so thankful. He is a real healer!

I Visit Dr. Wright every three months for a Right injury..... He gives me an injection that eases the pain and makes walking so much better.... I love his bed side manner, he is very pleasant Dr to deal with and do not have any interest in seeing another Dr for my care..... He talks to me in layman's terms and when I leave I know what I have going on and what I need to do in the future. I know all my options.... Dr. Wright takes his time to answer all my Questions.... He is very respectful to me and my personal situation.....

Dr. Wright is a great Dr./Surgeon. He explained everything to me, gave me all my options, and let me ultimately decide what course would be best for me and my health. At my follow up appointment after surgery he was there to answer all my questions and explained everything in a way I could understand. Dr. Wright is a nice, caring doctor and would highly recommend him. Thanks Dr. Wright!!

I went in for ACL surgery. Before the surgery my leg was not stable and could not perform simple functions. After the surgery my leg has recovered exceptionally well and the new ACL is allowing me to get back to normal strength and function. In regards to the surgery, the option I chose was reconstruction from a cadaver. With this option I was in a straight leg brace for ~2 weeks, crutches for 3 weeks, and out of the brace at the end of 6 weeks. I have had no issues related to the surgery or recovery using the cadaver option which is better than what I have heard from other people choosing other options. The scar from this whole ordeal is about 1.5" slightly off center from the knee.

I had a hip arthroscopy performed by Dr. Wright. I'm extremely happy with the results! I no longer have pain and I'm slowly getting back to running.

Dr Wright is knowledgeable and friendly. He did an arthroscopic surgery for my wife and was nothing but professional. He seemed well trained for the repair and had a high level of expertise. The constructive feedback I would leave is related to the closure of the incisions. These incisions are in a noticeable location. More time spent there and the use of finer sutures to minimize scarring would improve the overall results. Granted it is only cosmetic but it's also important.

Dr Wright is a top notch surgeon! Bed side manner is great and if he doesn’t think it is surgically needed to be fix he will look at alternatives. He did fellowship training at UCLA where he had the opportunity to work with the LA Lakers and helping with their medical needs, a true asset to our small community hospital.
