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.

Not good, He has been a doctor for way to long. He is old school and wants to give no medication at all. Does things his old school way.

Worst experiences I've had with a doctor
As a doctor, he was attentive and caring while I was there. When an issue arose over another medication I was prescribed by a clinic in town that I had disclosed to him and his nurses when it was initiated, he sent me a letter stating I violated his policies and then refused to take my calls in order to correct the situation. It was the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor and took me almost 2 years to get everything back to normal as he also wouldn't fill any of my prescriptions stating I needed to find a new doctor. It was the most unprofessional and childish act I've ever dealt with, period. His assistants in the back that handle prescriptions and scheduling were some of the rudest people you could have the displeasure of dealing with. I'd avoid at all costs unless you enjoy waiting an hour for your appointment to start and also like getting rude phone calls from his assistants.. Not to mention dropped as a client on a whim without hearing a single word from Dr Wright about

On my second visit I asked him for a diet plan as I was finding it difficult to lose weight. He replied, and I quote: "You're 81 years old. Go home and eat." Not what I wanted or expected to hear from a medic. That let me know how unimportant I am to him. I much rather deal with his Nurse Practitioners. All true. He may as well have told me to go home and die. Perhaps he is too old to continue practicing medicine.

I appreciate Dr. Wright and feel very lucky to have him as my PCP. While the wait time is sometimes outlandish, when he is caring for me, I have 100% of his attention.

I am the son of an M.D. who was an advisor to the California Medical Advisory Board and I have met and been treated by very many doctors in my life. Dr. Wright is an outstanding doctor, period, and has no idea that my Dad held this position nor that he was a delegate to the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association from the state of California for many years.

We have been patients of Dr. Wright for many years, however - this comment is about the office as a whole. "THE ABSOLUTE WORST OFFICE FOR BEING ON SCHEDULE. Every single time we go, we're quoted an appointment time when making the appointment and then the day before they call to let you know to be there 15-20 minutes early. So, we take off work early because "3:15 is their last appointment of the day" (except make that 2:45-2:50 to allow time to read a sheet and initial). 2 hrs before seen!
