Ms. Wright was very open to understanding my fears about having a breast biopsy and explained in detail the procedure and next steps for treatment. I was impressed with her knowledge and medical demeanor.

I love Emily Wright! She is warm and friendly. She asks questions and really listens to what you have to say. She looks you in the eye when you are talking. This is less common than you would think! I couldn't be happier with my care at the Breast Center. EVERYONE I interact with there has been top notch from receptionists, business people, nurses and doctors. I literally recommend to everyone the Breast Center at St. Johns.
