About Me

I grew up in the city of Washington, DC and completed my pediatric internship in New Jersey and my dermatology residency in Michigan. Later, I completed one of the few pediatric dermatology fellowships in Baltimore. I have a special interest in treating skin conditions in infants, children, and adolescents, as well as laser treatments for certain birthmarks and acquired skin lesions. It is important that my patients know that I believe in treating them as I would like my family and myself to be treated.

What My Patients Say

My son was born with a rare skin condition and Dr. Wright has been with us since his birth. We love her energy and kindness and her family orientation which makes us feel so comfortable that we have relocated out of state and drive 300+ miles just for her expertise with our son. We have another dermatologist as an alternative in our new location, but we will always stay connected to Dr. Wright no matter where we travel. We just love her! - EAH

The doctor was excellent. She listened to my issues and understood, offered realistic explanation and treatment. She also answered my son’s endless questions with patience and understanding. - AW

Dr. Wright was the best dermatologist ever! When my insurance changed she made sure to reach out to her colleagues at other practices to ensure I will continue getting the best care. She would always find time to fit me into her busy schedule and made sure I got the treatment I needed! - MD
