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.

I am so glad that I made an appointment to meet Dr. Wright! I had been suffering for so long and was desperate to get answers. Scheduling an appointment was easy and I was able to get in to see him within a few weeks. Office staff is amazing! Anyone who has this condition knows how awkward it can be to have themselves exposed. I felt very comfortable undergoing ultrasound, measurements and pictures with Shelley and Crystal. Dr. Wright is one of the most genuine and kind doctors I have met. He conducted a thorough exam and discussed the findings and future plans for my case. I felt heard and understood. I am confident that Dr. Wright is going to help me obtain a better quality of life.

Dr. Wright and his team are excellent! He is very kind, empathetic, and very thorough. I couldn't have chosen a better clinic to have my lipedema procedure for my legs. Dr. Wright and his team did such an amazing job! All details of my procedure were very well explained and made me feel very prepared. Everyone was very accommodating and made me feel very cared for. Thank you to nurse Amanda and Dakota who are incredibly professional, sweet, and helpful. I could not have wished for a better experience from start to finish. Thank you! Anna

Dr. Wright and his staff (especially Crystal the sonographer) made my experience fun and easy, and most importantly, I'm super happy with the results of my vein treatment. I can't wait to start wearing shorts again! If I need treatment again in the future, I will definitely be back!

He is the most personable doctor I’ve ever encountered. Welcoming and attentive. He took the time to do a thorough examination and then sat and explained my diagnosis in terms I could understand. I’ve been so successful in my health journey this year and I pay that respect to his care and the encouragement I’ve received from his office at the same time. Every single nurse I’ve experienced, to his office lady Dawn. Top notch humans. While this is certainly a top notch professional facility, in the medical field, they are also some of the most respectable humans. This team will answer any questions you have any time. They’ve made a lasting impact on my health journey and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Words cannot express describe this office enough but I’m forever grateful.

Amazing Physician and staff
Dr. Thomas Wright and his staff are very caring and compassionate. I had and ablation several years ago and recently underwent sclerotherapy on both legs. My results were amazing. My legs no longer hurt and the I am able to continue working and participating in activities I enjoy. I would recommend Dr. Wright to anyone who is having issues with varicose veins or vein disease. He and his staff were always on time and took the time to answer all my questions without feeling rushed. They are the best!!!

Exceptional results
I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Wright for greatly improving my quality of life. Not only did he effectively treat my varicose veins, but he also performed two liposuction procedures that have made a tremendous difference. The first procedure targeted my interior and anterior thighs, and I was amazed at how it positively impacted my gait and relieved stress on my knees. The second procedure focused on my calves and ankles, giving my lipedema legs a much-needed shape.I can honestly say that the procedures themselves were not too bad. Dr. Wright and his team were incredibly meticulous and ensured I was well-prepared for each procedure. I experienced no pain or discomfort during the procedures, and my healing process went exactly as Dr. Wright had explained. I truly felt well-cared for throughout the entire journey, from the thorough assessments to the before and after photos. Dr. Wright and his amazing staff are exceptional in their attentiveness and support.

I had ablation in one leg and sclerotherapy in both legs. Every appointment was on-time, thorough and thoughtful. I’m a little sad that my treatment is over as Doctor wright and his staff (Meghan) have been so amazing throughout this whole treatment plan (over 1 year’s time)! My legs look and feel great and I fully recommend Dr. Wright and his team to treat your veinous disease.

I’ve been to a lot of doctors. Some are great in a way and not so great in others. Some are generally pleasant, some are not. But this doctor was the best I have ever seen. He was polite, patient, soft spoken, informational, and kind in the way he treated me. I have answers today. I have validation today. And that’s because of what this team does here for their patients and for everyone else in the world looking for information and care. I drove 3.5 hours to see Dr. Wright and his team today, and it was nothing short of amazing. I was comfortable the whole time, the nurse was extremely pleasant, and not once did I feel insecure or rushed. These people are worth the drive, worth the wait and the life experience is going to be unforgettable. They come highly recommended for a number of reasons - and I can now say I know why. It was so nice to be here today and I look forward to the next steps in my life with Dr. Wright and his team. THANK YOU!!!!

Best Decision
I had heard about lipedema/lymphedema from my daughter. I found Dr. Wright and from the moment I entered the office, the office staff, nurses, etc., treated me with respect, answered questions, and helped me in any way possible to feel more comfortable about my diagnosis. I scheduled my first surgery, lymph sparing liposuction and couldn't be happier with the results. My post op appointment, I had some issues with low iron and hydration. Brittany took great care of me. She made sure that I was feeling better before I left the office. On my post op appointments, Dakota was great, she answered all my questions and was very helpful. Dr. Wright took the time to answer any questions that I had and made sure that I felt as comfortable as possible. I have not laughed in a doctor's office as much as I do when I go to Dr. Wright's office. I would definitely recommend Dr. Wright. He and his staff know what they are doing and are fantastic!

Highly recommend! No regrets!
From my initial office consultation in late summer of 2021 to a recent follow up visit this month (Feb 2023) Dr Wright and his staff have gone above and beyond to inform, educate treat my lipedema fat disorder. I was misdiagnosed over 10 years ago with lymphedema. I tried every diet and exercised 4-6 days a week for as long as I can remember- nothing helped I continued to gain weight and my legs became more and more tired sore and heavy. I had lost hope. I was referred by a leg specialist to Dr Wright and my life changed! With Dr Wright’s instruction and surgical skills I have a new life! From the first day I step into Dr Wright’s office I no longer felt alone with my leg issues. I went from size 12 to a size 4 and my legs feel great and I no longer have that heavy tired feeling. I highly recommend Dr Wright and the Laser, Lipo & Vein Center!
