“Excellent Surgeon”

Dr. Wright is simply outstanding. He handled my complex case holistically and with compassionate bedside manner, keeping me at ease at all times. He and his team were also very thorough and timely when answering my questions before, during, and after my procedure. My results were better than I’d expected and I would definitely recommend him and his team for attentive expert care. Thank you Dr. Wright!

“Exceptional Care”

I recently completed my second surgery, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. This has been a long journey for me in addressing my struggles with lipedema, and choosing to move forward with removal surgery has made a dramatic difference in my mobility and overall confidence.

Dr. Wright and his care team are exceptional. From the very beginning, they created a welcoming environment where I felt comfortable, informed, and supported. They took the time to thoroughly expl

“One-Year Post-Op Review: Exceptional Results with Dr. Wright at St. Louis Liposuction Center”

After years of being told by multiple plastic surgeons and med spas that I had cellulite, Dr. Wright was the first to correctly identify the real issue: excess fat in my saddlebag area, not cellulite. During my consultation at St. Louis Liposuction Center, he thoroughly evaluated my anatomy and recommended a solution I had never considered—liposuction of the saddlebag area with fat transfer to my hip dips. One year later, I'm thrilled with my results and highly recommend Dr. Wright & his team!

“Compassion”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laser, Lipo and Vein Center and Dr. Wright. Dr. Wright has been such an incredible advocate for my health and well-being. He truly listens, cares, and takes the time to make you feel heard and supported every step of the way.

The nurses are equally amazing. They are compassionate, patient, and genuinely invested in helping their patients feel their best. Every visit feels personal, welcoming, and encouraging.

“3 lipedema surgeries with Dr. Wright”

I found Dr. Wright in November 2024. He’s helped me reach my weight goals to get approval from insurance once I reached the required BMI from the insurance. I had a total of three surgeries with him. The first in July 2025 , my second in September 2025 and my third and final in December 2025. My experience with the entire team has been amazing. Not only do they listen to your concerns. But also advise you and build a familiar relationship. I am very happy with my results!!!

“The only place to go for varicose veins”

I cannot say enough wonderful words about Laser Lipo and Vein Center! I started my varicose vein journey here in October 2024. I had previously went to a different vein place two years prior and it was a horrible experience with complete lack of care, consideration and expertise. Needless to say I was nervous starting the process of vein ablation again. Dr. Tom and Crystal eased my mind from the moment I met them. They assured me that this would be a painless process and they lived up to that pr
