Dr Wright performed surgery on my torn ACL 20 years ago. I'm now 62 years old and I'm still cycling, hiking, and skiing. He gave me my life back and I'm forever grateful. On top of that like others have said, he is a great guy. I highly recommend Dr. Wright.

Nicest doctor I've ever had. He listened to me and tried to help, I do wish he would have understood that I had no money. He made a lot of suggestions for things that might help but they all cost money. Would not discuss a second surgery if I did not get physio but it was not something I could afford so I'm stuck in limbo right now. But he was extremely patient and kind.

Great Doctor. He was recommended to me by a number of doctors and I know why. He performed a great job on my knee surgery

Dr Wright performed hip surgery on my Mom who suffered from Alzheimer's quite a few year's ago & treated her with respect & dignity. When I was in need of a surgeon I knew he was the one I wanted to see. Not only is he an excellent surgeon but he is very kind & caring & takes time to talk & listen to his patients. I have always felt very positive after leaving his office and am having no second thoughts about my own surgery that is coming up.

Without a doubt, one of the most professional, knowledgeable and thorough doctors I've ever been to. He was recommended by a colleague who had amazingly successful knee surgery so I had Dr. Wright perform mine, which was also successful. He and his staff at the Burnaby Hospital gave me better service than I've had in some good hotels! He has a fantastic reputation and is highly respected by anyone I've talked to who knows him.
