J. Keith Wright Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Wright did a great job on my surgery. His staff has been very helpful. His MA is very helpful and quick to return calls. I would highly recomend Dr. Wright to anyone looking for a surgeon. As a matter of fact, I have recomended a familly member and a friend to him already.

Dr. Wright is a caring, concerned surgeon. I liked him and trusted him from the second I met him. He really pushes ongoing support and attending support group meetings. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering lap-band surgery.

Office staff is very good.rnDoctor answered all my and my wifes questions with stright and short answers. Had a very good bed side manner.

Dr. Wright is a man of character. He listens well. has great eye contact and his body language all indicate unconditional support. rnrnHe can be tough, when he needs to, but always in a kind, matter-of-fact manner. Sometimes, it's difficult to hear the truth.rnrnWhen you leave the office, you feel your questions were answered and that he will be there for the long haul.rnrnDr Wright appeared to explain everything, the positive and negative aspects, of Lapband surgery. He directed me to various modes of information, so that I understood the Lapband system.rnrnHis office staff are professional, kind and yet have a sense of interest in all patients. rnrnHis surgical competence and bedside manner are exemplary. My family was also impressed with him.rnrnI would recommend Dr. Wright to anyone contemplating Lapband surgery. He won't do surgery unless you comply with the regulations of doing what is best for your health. Aftercare is very important and he strongly promotes this area.rnrnThese are impressions of my personal experience and each person must decide, for him/herself what they are looking for in a surgeon.

when i first saw my doc at the seminar i thought he looked mean . but turned out he's awsome , also the staff are great . i love my doc.

MY first impression of Dr. Wright was somewhat positive. Of course the counsult didn't last but about 30 to 40 mins. and it's really hard for me to form an oppinion in so little time. Dr. Wright seamed \"very\", self-assured, which is what anyone would look for in their doctor. He also seemed a bit stoic and a bit arrogant. I quess it goes with the territory of, self-assured. Anyway, the man certainly gave the impression on knowing his job, and knowing it well,(which is a great thing, for anyone in his care). His office staff were all very sweet, and knowlegable. I particularly liked Christy, the phsycoligst. It's only been my first time speaking with him, one to one so I really can't form any kind of an oppinion yet, but I do know He (Dr. Wright), left me with the confidence that he is the one I want doing this surgery on me. I can only hope that his bedside manner gets better with time.

Dr. Wright is wonderful. He is understanding and supportive. The office staff are nice and want to assist you in anyway they can. What I liked best about Dr. Wright was his attention to me and what I was saying. I would like future patients to know that he will be there for them before, during and after the surgery. Aftercare is very important to the Doctor. He has a structured aftercare program in place. I have not discussed risks of the surgery yet, I guess that will be coming. Overall I found him and his staff to be very professional and respectful of me. I will have to wait to judge how my surgery goes and bedside manner. But at the present time I am very comfortable with him and the staff.

When I met Dr Wright, my husband & I thought he was knowleadgeable, patient with our questions and understood the frustration I was going through with my weight problems. He had that bedside manner that most health care providers are missing now days. My impression since my surgery April 21, 2005 has not changed a bit. Now, during my visit to the Nutritionist, the staff had misplaced my forms and it was a little frustrating trying to remember information provided that I didn't have with me. However, the Nutritionist made up for my frustration by being cordial and ready to answer questions that I considered "silly". The day of the surgery, I was called to present myself earlier since a patient had cancelled their surgery. I was there at 8:00 AM and I was admitted to the hospital but my surgery didn't start until probably 4 PM. I was not satisfied with the staff this day. I would say to future patients they are in good hands for their surgeries. Dr Wright & Dr Carcamo are competent and excellent surgeons. Their office has a complete staff that ranges from Psychiatrist help, Nutritionist, members of their staff who already have gone through the surgery themselves, who can relate to you. I had an easy recovery time and was back at work after 2 weeks, because of the clear instructions for post-op care. All risks were addressed during a semminar that I attended prior to the first visit with Dr Wright. This semminar is offered by Dr Wright & Dr Carcamo. I would rate him as a Surgeon at 100% however, his staff at about 85% at this time. I can say this though since my surgery I have seen additional staff members taking care of patients & forms. This has reassured me that they are listening to their patients. In my book I think that a surgeon has to be competent in his work and also provide bedside manner to their patients to reassure them by giving a "human touch" to the procedure.

I first heard and saw Dr.Wright at a seminar that my husband and I attended in November. Both he and his associate spoke at the seminar. I was impressed at his staight forwardness and self confident approach. At my consult appointment I was even more impressed at the non judgemental attitude he took with me. I have Bipolar Disorder, most MD's hear that and run. His office staff is so very professional, yet very quick to make you feel at ease. Tiffany got me from our first introduction. She cares about and wants to help people, it is so evident. Katherine has been so helpful with my nutrition plan. I have not yet started with my support group, but will soon do this because I was made to understand how important to sucess this is. I would recommend Dr. Wright to any one who is looking for a knowledgable and competent surgeon, with a kind and caring bedside manner.

I was a little leary of Dr Wright in the beginning, but basically I think it was my own inhibitions that made me feel that way. Dr Wright is a great surgeaon and has a wonderful demeanor once you see him more than once. He has a great sense of humor. His office staff is the best. They are warm and welcoming. Tiffany B, Marylou, Lisa........ They are all so friendly, they really care about their surgeons and most of all their patients. The most important thing about your aftercare is the support group meeting. Dr. Wright's staff makes sure you know this. You have to commit to attending the group meetings. We meet 2x per month and there is always are always members of his staff there. I would rate this experience as one of the better is you decide to have this surgery. He and his staff are very knowledgable about the lap band and do not hestiate to share the infformation. I would rate Dr Wright and his staff as extremely friendly, competent and their bedside manner rates a superior in my book!
