Nov 02, 2024
Dr. Wright replaced both of my knees while I was in my 40s. I was born with bad knees and painful my entire life. He did an amazing job!! Today I am walking, marching in Rose Parade, Macy's Parade and able to do anything without any pain. It's amazing. Dr. Wright is incredibly caring and professional. He will tell you straight up the work you will have to do to get good results. DO IT!!! IT'S WORTH IT!!!
