“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

“Professional and Informative”

I am so glad that I made an appointment to meet Dr. Wright! I had been suffering for so long and was desperate to get answers. Scheduling an appointment was easy and I was able to get in to see him within a few weeks. Office staff is amazing! Anyone who has this condition knows how awkward it can be to have themselves exposed. I felt very comfortable undergoing ultrasound, measurements and pictures with Shelley and Crystal.

Dr. Wright is one of the most genuine and kind doctors I have met. He conducted a thorough exam and discussed the findings and future plans for my case. I felt heard and understood. I am confident that Dr. Wright is going to help me obtain a better quality of life.

“Excellent Experience!”

Dr. Wright and his team are excellent! He is very kind, empathetic, and very thorough. I couldn't have chosen a better clinic to have my lipedema procedure for my legs.
Dr. Wright and his team did such an amazing job!
All details of my procedure were very well explained
and made me feel very prepared. Everyone
was very accommodating and made me feel very cared for.
Thank you to nurse Amanda and Dakota who are incredibly professional, sweet, and helpful. I could not have wished for a better experience from start to finish.

Thank you!

“Amazing Experience”

I started visiting Dr. Wright and his staff last April and was diagnosed with Lipedema. They helped me get started on all the must do’s with insurance and submitted everything I needed to insurance. I have had two Lipedema reduction surgeries so far and very pleased with the results. Dr. Wright and his staff are amazing (especially his nurses). They are with you every step of the way and you can tell they care deeply about their patients. I highly recommend.

“I had an amazing experience!”

I feel so blessed to have discovered Dr. Wright! He and his team are amazing! They are so caring and compassionate! Using the stairs prior to surgery was almost impossible due to the pain and heaviness in my knees. I can now take the stairs without pain and I'm also not experiencing the unexplained lower back pain I had for many years. For me, surgery has truly been life changing!

“I'd happily recommend to a friend!”

Dr. Wright and his staff (especially Crystal the sonographer) made my experience fun and easy, and most importantly, I'm super happy with the results of my vein treatment. I can't wait to start wearing shorts again! If I need treatment again in the future, I will definitely be back!
