He completely botched my husband's back surgery. He has been left with permanent nerve damage, too much bone was removed and one of the screws was placed too deeply. We were recently told the replacement hardware that was used in the spine is obsolete and hasn't been used in many years. My husband went in with back issues and came out unable to function normally and will never fully recover.

As described by Wright: "A non invasive lower back surgery, over night stay at the hospital." He stated that no other doctors will perform it as good as he does. In his words, he gets to the back from the belly and place a cage between the two vertebrae. Sure enough "perforating my colon" and sending me home dying with infection is not what so many doctors would do!!!!!!!!

He saved me from an extra surgery that I didn't need. I went to Dr. Wright for a second opinion. I'm grateful he's not surgery happy and knows what he is doing.

I have seen this doctor 4 times including the actual surgery. He was always punctual, courteous and very professional. He doesnt waste time with a lot of chit chat. He looks you over and after having the necessary tests done makes a recommendation. I my case, he recommended surgery and it accomplished 100% of the stated goals. I walked out of the hospital less than 24 hours later and in two days quit the pain meds altogether. If I need any additional surgery, I will see Dr. Wright first.

I would recommend Dr Wright to any of my friends and family. He was very comforting when i found out i had a brain tumor. His staff was very kind and always has shown me respect. Dr. Wright did surgery on me and removed the tumor. I am so grateful to him for saving my life. thank you to his staff for making a difficult time seem effortless.
