“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

Dr. Wright is such a wonderful doctor. I met him for the first time in December 2024 and he has changed my life. I have done 4 procedures with him and the difference in my quality of life has been so amazing. He is very thorough and kind. Great bedside manner. I look forward to my next 2 procedures with him.

“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.

“Great Experience!”

I had a great experience at Laser Lipo and Vein Center with Dr. Wright. The staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Wright was knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions, which really put me at ease. The results have been amazing so far, and I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone considering treatment!

“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.
