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.

She was always rushed and didn’t want to hear what I have to say. On the last visit, she didn’t even sit down. The Sharp doctors I met all very competent and professional except her. She is the main reason I left Sharp healthcare system.

I would select zero but can't. After 5 years with Dr. Wright, I was finally diagnosed… by a more concerned doctor. Years of pain and asking for help, she was disinterested and kept telling me to take more acetaminophen and an anti-depressant for my continuous pain. I have AS (it’s in the rheumatic diseases that she is a “specialist” in), which should have been tested for in a battery of tests that she had every reason to run, but didn’t. Now I feel as I should, without crippling pain as I now have the right medication, and a doctor that listens.

Upon 1st visit she states "I'm here for you". Upon visit 4 she'd sit down and ignore my complaints and concerns. Upon medication discussion, she insisted on what she wanted me on vs. other options. She put me on an anti depressant and after having side effects which landed me in the hospital, she took me off of it cold turkey. I went through severe withdrawls without any warning of what would happen to me. Stay away from her, she does not care about her patients.

She arrived late for the appointment and then hurried through it so she wouldn't be late for her other appointments. She didn't explain what things and then called 2 weeks later to diagnose me over the phone and said she was booked for another 3 months so I could be seen after that.

She gave me shots in my back. Literally I looked like a turkey being injected. After crying because I was on so much pain she told me to stop taking my pain medication that I've been taking for 2 years. Then walked out the door. Rude, u professional and acts like you bother her if you have pain... worst doctor EVER. I am so surprised she is still at sharp!!
