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 promise! The amount of care, compassion and knowledge they showed me throughout this process was incredible. I looked forward to my appointments and enjoyed my conversations with Dr. Tom and Crystal, they're truly wonderful people, as well as the rest of the staff! I am thrilled with my results and my legs have never felt better! If you're nervous about removing your varicose veins, don't be! The right place makes with the right care team makes all of the difference, I am so happy I contacted Laser Lipo and Vein Center!
Dr. Wright is super friendly, professional and thorough. The moment I walked into the door, the staff is incredibly friendly. They make you feel comfortable and give lots of opportunities for questions. Highly recommend.
In 2024, I traveled out of state for five lipedema reduction surgeries with Dr. Wright and his team. Dr. Wright and his nursing staff are true experts in lipedema management, providing exceptional pre- and post-operative care. Any minor issues post-surgery were handled with immediate attention and compassion; I always felt safe and prioritized. Dr. Wright is incredibly thorough, determined, and kind. Through various lipedema support groups, I've seen countless women who underwent surgery elsewhere left with questions about their aftercare, procedures, and compression, often unsure what to expect. My experience with Dr. Wright was entirely different. From my initial diagnosis in 2023, I received clear information and expectations. The team always provided prompt, comprehensive answers to all my questions and concerns. These surgeries have been life-changing. Combined with my own commitment to recovery, strength training, and compression, I'm now moving better than I have in years and experiencing a significant reduction in pain. While the surgeries and recoveries aren't easy, with good preparation and dedication to your health, Dr. Wright and his team are the ideal partners. I'm incredibly grateful to have found them and recommend them without reservation. Thank you, Dr. Wright, Amanda, Sara, Dakota, Savanah, Dawn, and the entire team for keeping me sane, safe, and at ease!
Dr. Wright is truly one of a kind, I’m so lucky to have been referred to him by my local physician! I traveled from over 7 hours away to receive his care. From the moment I met him, I could tell how much he genuinely cares about the work he does and the patients he serves. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and validate my experience with lipedema, which is something that has been incredibly hard to find during my 15 year struggle with the condition. His compassion, professionalism, and deep understanding of the condition gave me so much comfort and confidence going into my procedure. I can tell he makes every decision with his patients' best interests at heart. Dr. Wright is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in his field, but also incredibly kind and thoughtful. His entire staff was warm, welcoming, and supportive every step of the way. The outcome of my procedure has been so much better than I could have ever asked for, and I am beyond grateful. I truly cannot recommend Dr. Wright and his team enough!
Outstanding experience and results. You and your team were so knowledgeable and helpful! I would absolutely recommend you and your team for a future reference and service. Thank you, Dr. Wright and Staff!
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 have had two Lipedema reduction surgeries so far with Dr. Wright.
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!
Dr. Wright and Shelly were so kind. Excellent bedside manner and answered questions for me that no other provider has been able to answer about my lipidema. I traveled by plane to see him and would do it again in a heartbeat!
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 procedures for my legs. Dr. Wright and his team did such an amazing job! I traveled from Canada to see him as he is a leader in lipedema and his clinic is specialized in this condition. 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! Anna
