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.

What a fantastic doctor, and humble, reassuring, human being. I was hesitant due to the lack of reviews but do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this doctor. She comes in which her notes on you and she makes sure she answers all your questions. It never felt like I was a patient she had to be over and done with but a person she wanted to give the best care for. She’s available every step of the way.

Dr. Wright is one of the best doctors I have ever known. She is an amazing breast cancer surgeon. I had a Lumpectomy and Mastectomy both of which went very well and my recovery was amazing. I was impressed by her calmness and ability to explain medical conditions; Her receptivity to answer all my questions no matter how many, without showing any signs of rush; her warmth, sweetness, and bedside manner which helped me cope with the anxiety of the illness. She always communicated that she had studied my case in-depth with her medical team, and explained all of my options which conveyed the assurance that her suggestion was the result of a very in-depth analysis by a competent professional team. She openly presented the alternatives to me, but at the same time, she was honest telling her opinion. She was very considerate of my family. Dr. Wright is part of a wonderful team of professionals and assistants who were very supportive and helpful to me. I am most grateful to all of them.

Dr. Wright is hands down one of the best doctors I have ever met. Intelligent, caring, and kind are just some of her wonderful qualities. I had a lumpectomy and then a subsequent bilateral mastectomy and she was my surgeon for both. Both procedures went very smoothly and I was in her good hands from start to finish. Prior to my mastectomy, she explained ALL of my options, both surgical AND non-surgical so that I could make an informed decision. Her nurse practitioner, Judith is also incredible and extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Wright’s expertise and bedside manner eased any anxiety I may have had prior to surgery. My outcome could not be better and I am most grateful to Dr. Wright!!

The trap that memorial doctors walk women into is down right scary!!!! Please read! You find out you have breast cancer, or in my case, potentially could have cancer by being at risk. Its amplified x100 that you NEED to get your breast tissues cut off and reconstructed by a plastic surgeon. “Don’t worry all is covered by insurance :)!!” Until they scrape you too thin (dr Wright) you require 5 surgeries in dying pain- and NEVER HEAR FROM HER AFTER SURGERY! Find a new doctor/hospital/network!!!!

Dr. Wright was totally "present" with me. She anticipated many of my questions, and also fully answered the ones that I asked. She listened intently. I felt confident of her good intentions for my care and healing. I enjoyed her company, her sense of humor, and her calm and reassuring manner. I credit her, and her wonderful NP, Judith Wafe, with the swift and smooth recovery that I have enjoyed.

Dr. Wright is so sweet. She has a great bedside manner. She really listened when I talked and expressed my concerns. She never cut me off or made me feel rushed and she answered all of my questions. As far as her surgery skills, I'm not a doctor, but I had a radical mastectomy and she took some lymph nodes for tests. The surgery was clean, no infection, the wound is still healing to some degree but it looks like it will be a nice, even, small scar. I would highly recommend her.

I could not be happier with my choice of Dr. Wright as my surgeon. During each visit she has shown a kindness and understanding that are reassuring and calming. She answers questions completely, patiently, and respectfully. In addition, the office is comfortable and the office staff are friendly and professional. Wait time has been minimal. Judith, one of the Nurse Practitioners, is a valuable asset to Dr. Wright's team. The two make a team that is unbeatable!

I was a little worried at first by getting the new doctor in the office, but let me tell you I am so happy I did. Dr. Wright is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Dr. Wright explained all my options and was available when I needed. She answered all my questions. She even made a diagram for me to understand my surgery. I am very happy with the results. One last thing I cannot forget about the wonderful nurses. Its a total package with this office.

My experience with Dr. Wright and her staff was remarkable. Being diagnosed with breast cancer was shocking and frightening, so it meant the world to me that Dr. Wright was caring and considerate & honest. She explained my case so I understood exactly what was going on. And, I appreciate that she looked me in the eye when she spoke. Dr. Wright's staff made me feel as though I was their most important patient.

Dr. Wright, and her loving and fabulous nurse practitioner, Judith Wafe, are my heroes! Together, they ensured that my breast cancer surgery (a lumpectomy) was a wonderful experience. Even as I write these words, it?s hard to imagine that having surgery could be a wonderful experience, but mine was?and I?m so grateful. Dr. Wright comforted me & showed compassion. Now 4 months? post-op, my breasts look exactly the same?Dr. Wright and the Memorial Health Care System are the ONLY choice!!!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was total shock do me but she guided me with all available options. Very patient. Her staff was helpful with the whole tests and surgery process and responded to me right away. Dr Wright reassured and explained my parent before and after surgery which was much appreciated.
