How likely are you to recommend Dr. Wright?
I've seen Dr. Wright for almost 2 years, and I can't say enough good things about him! Dr. Wright finally diagnosed me with Narcolepsy type 1 after 3 other sleep specialists missed it. He's warm, friendly, and encouraging, but he also kept my expectations realistic. He told me that I wouldn't feel 100% normal again, but treatment would still change my life. I still see him every few months for my medication management, and won't be leaving him until he retires! Narcolepsy is a hard diagnosis to live with, but my treatment plan gets a little better with every visit. Dr. Wright recognized my interest in medical science, and he allows me to take an active role in treatment decisions. We discuss different med options, and I decide what we should try next under his guidence. He considers my care even when I'm not in his office, and has his nurse call me when he has an idea. For me, he's not just my doctor, but also a supportive friend who truly understands living with narcolepsy.
