Common complaints

Some patients may experience longer wait times (noted in WebMD profile for Dr. Wright)

"Belkin is one of the kindest, most thoughtful doctors (MDs) I have ever seen. He listens without judgement and is very patient oriented."

— Healthgrades (Dr. Richard A. Belkin)

"Dr. Wright is an excellent diagnostic on. He thinks outside the box. He diagnosed an unusual and extraordinarily painful condition that Cottage ER couldn't diagnose. He explains everything from diagnosis to medication to his patients."
