5 Reviews on “Dr Thomas Wright - Laser, Lipo & Vein Center”
Dr Wright and his staff are nothing short of amazing; they are truly talented at treating Lipedema and they are all around awesome and compassionate humans. I have enjoyed getting to know Dr Wright and his team over the past year as I have completed 5 reduction surgeries; and while I am happy and grateful to be finished with my procedures and ecstatic about the life I have regained because of these procedures; a piece of me is sad that I will no longer be traveling to visit them regularly as I have over this past year. If you are looking for a passionate doctor and team, this is definitely the right choice!
I can’t say enough about Dr. Thomas Wright and his team of caring and compassionate staff. I am 3 procedures in for the condition of Lipedema and I am so grateful that I found Dr. Wright. I have full confidence that I am in the right hands and I trust him and his team completely as they work towards the goal of helping me regain my life through the Lipedema procedures. It took me two years to find the right doctor for the job, there is no better feeling than knowing you are in the best possible hands. They handle out of town and out of state guests with ease. They are all readily available to answer any questions, they respond promptly, and handle each and every appointment with compassion and expertise. I am very grateful to have found them; I am in the very best hands and I know it. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas Wright and his incredible team!
Just had my last Lipedema reduction surgery with Dr. Wright. Dr. Wright and his staff are truly amazing. They are with you every step of the way. I highly recommend. Most importantly, they make you feel seen/heard.
I have had 4 lipedema reduction surgeries with Dr. Wright and have been pleased with all of them. Scheduled for my final surgery at the end of April 2024 and can’t say enough about Dr. Wright and his staff. From my initial consultation throughout the entire process, he and his staff have been amazing. Shelly worked wonders with my insurance company and quickly got me approved for all the procedures. Dakota has been amazing with my pre-ops and post-ops. Everyone I have dealt with has been so professional and caring. Highly recommend!!
Dr Wright is a very accomplished physician. He is professional, kind and caring. He obviously wants the best for his patients. He actually listens to patients and treats them with great gentleness. This is so important as lipedema is painful. He has a carefully-chosen staff which upholds his ideals of care and concern. I believe Dr Wright saved my mobility and improved my quality of life going forward.
