At Wright Choice Weight Loss in O’Fallon and St. Louis, Missouri, our values guide every decision we make and every patient interaction we have. For over 25 years, Dr. Wright has been dedicated to treating metabolic disorders and complex conditions with the highest standard of medical care. These core values shape our practice and define who we are as healthcare providers.
Medical Excellence Through Board-Certified Expertise
Unwavering Commitment to Professional Standards
We believe that your health deserves nothing less than board-certified medical expertise. Dr. Wright, a board-certified physician with decades of experience in metabolic medicine, lipedema treatment, and advanced medical weight loss, oversees every treatment plan at Wright Choice Weight Loss. Our entire medical team, comprising licensed nurses and healthcare professionals, maintains the highest professional credentials and continues to educate themselves to stay current with the latest medical advances.
When you choose our practice, you’re choosing a team that is accountable to medical boards, bound by medical ethics, and committed to evidence-based care. This isn’t just about credentials on the wall; it’s about ensuring your safety and achieving the best possible outcomes for your health journey.
Specialized Knowledge in Complex Conditions
Dr. Wright’s 25 years of experience treating metabolic problems means we understand the intricate connections between obesity, hormonal imbalances, lymphatic disorders, and other health conditions. We recognize that effective weight loss often requires addressing underlying metabolic issues that other providers might miss. This specialized expertise enables us to develop treatment plans that go beyond surface-level solutions to address the underlying causes of your health concerns.
Comprehensive Medical Care, Not Quick Fixes
Thorough Evaluation Before Treatment
We value comprehensive assessment because your safety depends on it. Before recommending any treatment, whether it’s semaglutide for weight loss, lipedema reduction surgery, or cellulite treatment, we conduct thorough medical evaluations that include:
- Complete laboratory panels to assess thyroid function, diabetes markers, kidney, and liver health
- Cardiovascular risk factor evaluation
- Nutritional deficiency screening
- Medical history review and physical examination
- Assessment of any underlying conditions that could impact treatment
This comprehensive approach ensures that your treatment plan is not only practical but also safe for your unique health profile.
Continuous Monitoring and Support
Your health journey doesn’t end when you walk out our door. We believe in ongoing medical oversight that includes regular vital sign monitoring, body composition analysis through bio-impedance scans, and careful tracking of your response to treatment. Our licensed nursing team works closely with Dr. Wright to ensure that any concerns are addressed promptly and that your treatment plan evolves with your changing needs.
Patient Safety Above All Else
True Doctor-Patient Relationships
We value authentic medical relationships built on trust, transparency, and professional accountability. Unlike retail medspas or corporate-owned facilities, Dr. Wright is directly involved in your care and personally accountable for your outcomes. This means:
- On-site physician oversight, not remote consultations
- HIPAA compliance to protect your privacy
- Medical decisions guided by patient welfare, not profit margins
- Direct access to your physician when concerns arise
Identifying and Managing Risks
With over two decades of experience treating metabolic disorders, we understand that weight loss medications and procedures can have significant effects on your body. We value vigilant monitoring because we know that early detection of side effects or complications can prevent serious health issues. Our medical team is trained to recognize warning signs and has the expertise to manage complications safely and effectively.
Personalized Care Tailored to You
Understanding Your Unique Health Profile
We believe that effective treatment begins with understanding you as an individual. No two patients are exactly alike, and your treatment plan should reflect your unique health history, goals, and circumstances. Dr. Wright takes the time to understand not only your weight loss goals but also any underlying conditions, such as lipedema, lymphatic disorders, or hormonal imbalances, that may be affecting your health.
Addressing Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms
Our 25 years of experience with metabolic problems has taught us that lasting results come from addressing underlying causes rather than just treating symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, or complex conditions like lipedema, we develop treatment strategies that target the root causes of your health concerns.
Cutting-Edge Treatments with Proven Results
Innovation Grounded in Medical Science
Dr. Wright is a pioneer in treating lipedema and offering advanced procedures like:
- Lipedema reduction surgery
- Aveli cellulite treatment
- Medical weight loss with semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Liposuction for breast cancer reconstruction
- Advanced vein treatments
We value staying at the forefront of medical innovation, but we never adopt new treatments without ensuring they meet our high standards for safety and effectiveness.
Evidence-Based Medicine
Every treatment we offer is backed by medical research and proven clinical results. We don’t chase trends or offer unproven therapies. Instead, we carefully evaluate new treatments and incorporate them into our practice only when we’re confident they can help improve our patients’ health and quality of life.
Education and Empowerment
Informed Patients Make Better Decisions
We believe that education is a crucial part of healing. Dr. Wright is deeply committed to patient education and is actively involved with organizations such as the National Lymphedema Network and the AVLS Congress. We take time to explain your condition, discuss treatment options, and ensure you understand what to expect from your care.
Supporting Your Journey Every Step of the Way
Your health journey can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with complex conditions or when previous attempts at weight loss have been unsuccessful. We value providing not just medical treatment, but also emotional support and encouragement. Our team understands the frustration and challenges you may have faced, and we’re here to support you through every step of your journey toward better health.

Making Advanced Care Accessible
We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality medical care, regardless of their insurance situation or financial circumstances. Our team works with patients to explore insurance coverage options and payment plans, making treatment accessible to those who need it.
Transparency and Honest Communication
Setting Realistic Expectations
We value honesty above all else when discussing treatment options and potential outcomes. While we’re proud of the results our patients achieve, we never make unrealistic promises or guarantees. Instead, we provide clear and honest information about what treatments can help, what has been shown to improve, and what many patients report experiencing.
Open About Limitations and Risks
True medical professionalism means being transparent about both the benefits and limitations of any treatment. We discuss potential side effects, risks, and alternative options so you can make informed decisions about your care.
