Testimonials

“My physical therapist recommended Dr. Wright when I was having problems with my neck. He has been nothing but kind and caring and he has hung in there with me after a 2nd problem came up and hasn’t given up on me. He takes plenty of time with his patients and is excellent at explaining everything so you understand it. I feel like he has gone above and beyond for me and I’m very grateful for that.”

“Neill Wright is a fabulous surgeon. I interviewed 3 neurosurgeons about my back and leg issues. I had several complications, and he was the only doctor who felt confident that he could handle my situation and that I would have excellent surgical results. He was absolutely correct! He did a great job fusing lumbar discs 2 thru 5 among other things and I am fabulous now. No nerve pain at all. Dr. Wright's manor with his patients is superb, calm ,caring and gentle. Yet he explains everything thoroughly. I had heard horror stories about the care at Barnes hospital, mine could NOT have been better. The nurses and doctors attending were absolutely wonderful and took great care of me. Dr. Wright’s office assistant Amy was also wonderful I was very anxious before my surgery and Amy answered all of my questions and concerns.”

“Anterior cervical discectomy and arthroplasty. Had surgery 5 days ago and highly recommend Dr. Wright and his team. When they are wheeling you into surgery, it provides great comfort in realizing that you are in one of the world's best hospitals under the care of an internationally acclaimed physician. His calm, collected approach was great. His NP Michelle did a thorough exam and explained exactly what was happening in my neck. Michelle and the office team handled all of my insurance and disability paperwork.”

“My PCP couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, so he sent me to physical therapy. Physical therapy thought I needed to see a neurosurgeon, so I asked for a recommendation, and he said Dr. Wright is the best. I was not disappointed; Dr. Wright is so kind and caring and has spent a lot of time with me going over everything and making sure I was comfortable with it all. I highly recommend Dr. Wright; he is the best!”

“Dr. Wright did my Atlanto-Axial fusion surgery in Jan. of this year at Barnes Kingshighway. The unimaginable states of pain in parts of my skull, face and neck are gone!!! The truly compassionate and exceptional care provided by Dr. Wright, his fantastic office staff, and by the nurses and medical personnel that care for you from 1st appt, the surgery, to post-surgical status at Barnes is unparalleled in the industry. I do not know what it was that I did for God to allow me to be in the care of such an accomplished and exceptional surgeon, but I am certainly glad that I did it. I still have another issue to address in my recovery to good health, and Dr. Wright is hanging in there with me to get a good game plan together like when the first issue was addressed. I honestly do not understand someone saying that he was rude to them, as from my perspective and many others that have left reviews, he is one of the most gentle, caring and polite humans that you will ever meet. Keep up the great work, you are certainly making a Difference in my life and many others!”

“I had severe neck and shoulder pain for over a year. I had tried everything recommended by my pain management doctor with no relief. I am a RN and lead a very active life---but I was getting depressed with the continual discomfort and inability to do any activity without constant pain. I was referred to a local surgeon and was not pleased with his surgical plan or expected outcomes. I requested a referral in the St. Louis area by my pain management doctor and she sent me to Dr. Wright. I had surgery in November 2014( cervical discectomy C6-C-7) and cannot express how happy I am with the results. Dr. Wright is fantastic. He spent time and explained the surgical procedure to me and gave me options without pressuring me into an immediate decision. He is professional, courteous and honest when presenting a plan of care for surgery. Above all, he is an amazing surgeon. He gave me my life back! I work full time without pain and am able to once again live my active lifestyle without pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend Dr. Wright---he is the best!!”

“What a great doctor! Dr. Wright has a good bedside manner. He really knows what he's doing. I had 3 discs replaced in my neck and was back to work in six weeks. No problems at all. My scar was gone in just a few months. Great job!!”
