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.

My daughter is a junior in high school and this has been an absolute NIGHTMARE!!! SINCE THIS CLOWN LEFT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON.. He should have his license stripped!!! DO NOT HAVE THIS GUY TOUCH U OR YOUR LOVED ONES!!! I was warned not to see this crook, I wish I had listened!! What he did to my poor daughter is egregious and unethical!!!! He should never be allowed to do this to another family!! ABSUTELY HORRIBLE!!!

My family and I have used Dr. Wright for many years and have found him to be most competiment and very personable. He takes the time to get to know his patients and their needs. He is accredited, by my wife, to saving my life some years ago when I developed a sepsis infection in my right knee that was overlooked by the hospital. Although he has moved from our area we will miss him very much. We wish him all the success in the world in his new practice.

This is wonderful, Jim! Thank you for sharing!

I will absolutely not recommend him to anyone . He is very uncaring he doesn’t listen he talks about things that are irrelevant to the injuries I have when I ask him to help me with my pain he told me I was fat and to loose weight something that is totally irrelevant to my injury. He told me I should be glad I didn’t break my hip. He should not be allowed to call him self a doctor. God forbid someone needs an orthopedic doctor. Run far away.

Susan, Sarah and Dr. Wright are an excellent team. My concerns were answered and Dr. Wright performed my surgery to fit my schedule. The office is relaxed and professional. Follow up by Dr. Wright was prompt (even though I fully expected to hear from him during normal business hours). Should I have any future needs I will definitely go back to Dr. Wright and I will recommend him and his lovely staff to friends!

Dr. Wright went well above and beyond being a surgeon. He provided excellent medical care. He listened to us and worked well not only with the patient but with our family. He was accessible and provided very helpful advice. Would recommend highly.

Highly recommended. Dr. Wright has provided ongoing care for an ankle/foot injury and was always available even after-hours. Had an after-hours emergency and Dr. Wright met me and provided the necessary treatment required.

DR Wright was amazing taking care of my mother when she broke both her hips. He was patient and understanding. My mother had a lot of respect for him. He helped me when I broke my back. He's a wonderful doctor and a very kind person.

Dr. Wright was very helpful and understanding when I called in a panic after my son dislocated his knee. Unfortunately we were out of state when it happened but he offered to look over all of my sons records. He then offered his advice on his treatment. I will be using him from now on.

Terrible people skills. Did not correct the problem after surgery requiring me to find another surgeon and another surgery.
