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.

Didn't do her job
Plain and simple... Dr Wright DID NOT DO HER JOB which resulted in and additional emergency surgery 3 months later while out of town on vacation. When contacted afterwards, she never returned our call.

No respect for your time
I do not recommend going to this doctor! No respect for your time. I had a 1:30 appointment. I arrived early to check in because I am a new patient per their request. I was called in shortly after and a nurse checked me in asking a series of question. Normal procedure. I waited for 40 minutes for the doctor to show up. Instead the nurse comes in and apologizes because there was more information she needed to get before the doctor would see me. She was sweet and very apologetic so I told her not to worry about it. Mistakes happen. I asked her given the delay, will the doctor be in soon? She assured me she should. Almost another 1/2 hour passes before the doctor comes in. A total wait time of almost 1 hour! Sharon comes in, shakes my hand and asks me how I'm doing. I said not well given that I had to wait an hour to be seen. Her response "I'm sorry but I was with patients!" I was firm with her and she said that she will not be disrespected. I called her out on the fact

Dr. Wright is very kind and knowledgeable. She explained my procedure and options in detail and helped ease my fears. She is very trustworthy and willing to take the time to communicate and answer questions. Surgery went better than expected, and I would highly recommend her if you find yourself in need of her expertise.

I recently had a surgery performed by Dr Wright. I am so pleased that my physical issue was corrected but even more than that, it was the best possible recovery due to the information given to me. Information is power when it comes to dealing with stressful circumstances such as surgery Thanks to Dr Wright and her office for preparing and informing me so accurately and compassionately. I knew what I was facing, had the strength to move forward and felt never doubted that I was progressing well.

She seemed amazing at the consultation. She ended up a very complacent and careless surgeon. Her mistakes were answered with arrogance rather than empathy. She knew she injured me, ignored hospital nurse’s attempts to contact her, discharged me with critical lab values without further investigation, prescribing medication to correct them, at doses far too high to be taken at home - and overdosed me once I was home. She ignored my calls when a hole in my incision, which grew and had to be grafte

Very knowledgeable. Skilled hands. No complications after surgery and my healing was much quicker then my peers who had same procedure with other surgeons. I also have metal allergies and she took them very seriously and had a workable option that made me feel better.
