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.

Dr. Wright is very patient, professional and he is very straight forward. Perla was amazing, she was always super friendly and helpful.

I'm sorry but I went in last December and it was an ok visit, except I felt like a sheep being herded around. They don't act like they're that interested in you as a person or your actual needs. Then they shipped me off to the lab. I paid everything when I recieved the bill in the mail, however, all the sudden, today, 7 months later, I got a call that I was in collections for 107.00 that I owed them for lab work. You bet I'm steaming mad. I'm glad I decided not to go with them.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wright since 2005. He is an outstanding Dr. He is understanding, caring and listens to what you say. He cares about you as a person and what is best for YOU. I have always referred family and friends to him.

Cant get into specifics, but especially in the case of diabetics I would strongly recommend someone else. How strongly? Strongly enough to recommend having your will up-to-date before proceeding with this doctor. I would make the same statement against Northwest Baptist as well. I hope this doctor improves. Will all doctors, I would strongly recommend checking with the Medical Board before proceeding. Past performance DOES indicate future results.

I paid privately upfront ($12500) "all inclusive." Then I got a separate bill for the lab work for $500+. Also, the receptionist scheduled my year follow up appointment for a few days after 1 year and then, when the year rolled around, the office said I would have to pay extra because my appointment was passed the one year mark. I told the office that I did not request the appointment to be after 1 year but they still wanted to charge me. I did not get my 1-year follow up.
