Brief Intro

One of the most respected surgeons in Puget Sound, Dr. Robert Wright brings life-changing benefits to people through surgery. Most of all, he truly wants to help his patients feel better and get back to enjoying life, pain-free and cancer-free.

During his nearly 20-year career, Dr. Wright has led the way in employing laparoscopic, robotic, and other innovative surgical techniques for hernia, GERD, gallbladder, thyroid, melanoma, sentinel node, hemorrhoid/rectal, and more.

With publications in all areas of GERD, gallbladder, and hernia-related surgeries to his credit, he brings research opportunities to area students and offers the latest surgical techniques to his patients.

He has performed more than 25,000 surgical procedures, including nearly 10,000 hernias, and has made research breakthroughs in hernia surgery. Patients travel from as far away as Alaska, Hawaii, New York, and Canada to seek his expertise.

In addition to performing surgeries at Cascade Hernia & Surgical Solutions at Meridian Surgery Center in Puyallup and Tacoma, Dr. Wright is privileged at MultiCare Health System’s Tacoma General Hospital and CHI Franciscan Health’s St. Joseph’s Medical Center.
