Skylar Wright, PA-C, is a board-certified physician assistant specializing in family medicine and caring for patients of all ages. Her interest in family medicine grew from her experience working as a medical assistant in community care, where she saw firsthand the meaningful relationships that can develop between patients, their families, and their healthcare team.

For Skylar, one of the most rewarding parts of being a healthcare provider is developing lasting relationships with patients and their families. She strives to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard and comfortable discussing their concerns. By incorporating shared decision-making into her care, Skylar works with each patient to develop individualized plans that fit their health needs and goals.

Skylar earned her Bachelor of Science in Health Science Studies, with minors in Biology and Biomedical Sciences, from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut.
