Everybody kept saying, "Oh yeah, he's the best!" I thought, "Oh I'm sure everybody says that about their surgeon." Well, now that I have had my surgery, I can confirm that he is the best. I had some extra hoops I had to jump through to get approved for surgery, but it was because Dr. Bright genuinely wanted to make sure the surgery was a safe option for me. He came to see me before surgery, and then every day I was in the hospital afterward (3 days). When I had my gallbladder out, the doctor did everything by phone, conveying orders etc. through the nurses. I don't know if that was because it was an emergency surgery or what, but I was very impressed when Dr. Bright seemed to be so vigilant about my condition. Also, he did such a good job with the scalpel that I don't think the scars are going to be very noticeable at all. This man saved my life. I found out post-surgery that my liver is in pretty bad shape and had I not had this surgery when I did, I would probably soon have Cirrhosis. I am so grateful to Dr. Bright and the outstanding care team he works with for the opportunity to enjoy life again; I'm already feeling a lot better.

Dr . Bright has been my life saver! He was kind, understandingthey and very competent. I know his staff is very busy and I felt I needed to stay up on things as so things were in place to get it all done. As far as the Dr. and his Assistant Megan I could never have made it thru it all and the after care has been great! I am 2.5 years out and they are still there for me.

Have seen the doc only once but have had several consultations with staff. Each contact has been positive and encouraging.

This is my second surgery performed by Dr. Bright my first was an incisional hernia repair and of course my second was a Roux En Y Gastric Bypass. I wouldn't change surgeons for the world. This man loves what he does and cares for his patients. He is known as a perfectionist and he is also a Trauma surgeon. So when you get Dr. Bright I feel like you are getting one of the best surgeons you can come by. I recommend him to anyone looking into WLS or hernia repair.

He was happy & friendly.

My impression did not change, Dr. Bright made me feel comfortable and his knowledge put me at ease from the start.

The office staff is professional.

There is nothing that I liked least about Dr. Bright. He is a great Surgeon and I am very greatful to him.

Future patients should know that all of your questions will be answered and you will be taken care of by the best!

Dr. Bright came to see me everyday I was in the hospital and walked me through everything he was doing when he took out ne drain.

Yes, but not over the top. Patients are not hounded by the office staff after surgery. They have a great program.

As I stated above, Dr, Bright went over everything for me and answered all of my questions prior to surgery.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate him a 12!

Both were outstanding!!

I strongly disagree with the statement below. I have NOTHING negative to say about my surgeon. Dr. Bright was great in every way, and for someone to say that there has to be a negative, well maybe they should've had my doctor!

I found Dr. Bright through a personal recommendation of a cooworker who had had RNY surgery performed by Dr. Bright. After scheduling an appointment and meeting with Dr. Bright and his staff I made the decision that if this surgery were to happedn for me it would be by Dr. Bright and his staff. I found them all to be comptent, professional, compassionate, and understanding. The office was and is run in a very effecient manner. They do not do everything for you but are involved in every aspect of what needs to be done. Lets face it if all you want to do is show up and its all done for you you are NOT ready for this procedure. You are primarily responsible for all of the decisions and actions that need to be made. Dr. Bright and his staff are their to assist you with that. WLS is not by anymeans a quick fix but rather a very effective tool to assist those of us who have difficulty managing our weight. Dr. Bright and his staff are constantly working on improvement of their practice through better communications, advanced education and staying current with relevant issues regarding WLS. There were no questions I or my spouse had that were not answered by Dr. Bright or his staff.

My doctor is great! I was very nervous when I first met him, but by the end of my appointment I was very happy with my choice. He made me feel very comfortable, and answered all of my questions. He was so great in the hospital, very caring and considerate!!

my surgeon is dr bright frm spokane and i just want to let others know that he is a very good doctor and hes very thorough! the office staff is awesome!! his bariatric coordinator carol peilli is amazing !!! i would recomend any future patients to really look into researching everything before going through with things and to not focus on stuff so much that you set yourself up for dissapointment later! i would rate dr bright 1-10 i would give him and his staff a 10 they are great! you know if i had to choose between bedside manner or sugical competence i would have to choose both but the latter would matter the most hey that rhymed lol !! thanks for reading my review and remember God bless you and remember you are awesome!!!
