Meet The Team
We would be honored if you allow us to be part of your journey in rediscovering your joy
Start Your Healing Journey With
Erinn Wright, MD
Thank you for showing an interest in our practice. I earned my medical degree in 1997 from the Dartmouth-Brown combined program. (2 years at Dartmouth Medical School, 2 years at the Brown University School of Medicine). I am board-certified in both family medicine (2000) and Integrative Holistic Medicine (2016). I have extensive training and over 25 years of clinical experience in Dermatology. I have been practicing in the Bridgton area for over 20 years.
My reason for becoming a doctor was to help ease the burden of others. Although this is still a driving passion, my patients have taught me over the years this is not out purpose in life–to simply survive. We are each worthy of thriving.
We cannot do this without remembering our Joy.
This joy belongs to each one of us. It is the force that resonates with our true essence and, like love, is the energy that heals and connects us all. Joy often gets misplaces in the struggles of life. It is in these moments, we need its healing power more than ever.
My Journey to Becoming The Doctor I am Today
From an early age, I have found I enjoy listening – to the sounds of nature, ideas of others, my own thoughts, and to that Universal Wisdom that guides us all. This Energy that flows through and between all things is available to any of us who choose to remain open to it. Apparently, I made that choice before I can even recall.
In 2016, I decided to pursue this listening in a more formal manner and became board certified in Integrative, Holistic Medicine (I obtained my board certification in Family Medicine in 2000). Maintaining both certifications has given me the foundation for a balanced, more Primary Care (whole) approach to patient care, utilizing aspects from traditional and integrative medicine specialties.
For those who may feel uncomfortable with the terms “Primary Care” or “integrative” or “intuitive”, let me reassure you I remain steadfast in delivering exemplary quality, scientifically grounded, evidence-based health care. I would have it no other way! By supplementing my knowledge of, and experience in, allopathic medicine with the techniques of integrative medicine, however, the result is an even more comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic experience for you.

She will guide you from our relaxing waiting area to your treatment room and prepare you for your visit with Dr. Wright.
She also assists with dermatologic procedures.
She is one of the voices on the other end of the phone when you call and is often the one who will contact you with results and recommendations from the doctor.

Expect to see her playing a growing role in your skin care, as she embarks on her next adventure of becoming a licensed Aesthetician.
“One of my passions is to create a unique experience for our patients. Even if you are here for a facial, dermatologic procedure, wellness exam, or sick visit, my goal is to share healing energy with you, improving the health of your body, as well as your mind and soul.”

You will see her when you check in for your visit…and again afterwards to review your instructions from Dr. Wright and schedule your next appointment.

When Terrie is busy, Shannon may be the one to escort you to your exam room and take your blood pressure or assist with procedures.
“Whether it is calling in to check on how you are feeling, assisting you with questions or concerns, or being your advocate for timely care, I am honored to be part of your healing journey.”
“Into this space
replete with
love, laughter and
healing, I enter.
Looking for enlightenment
In a different variety
but finding both,
inner and outer.
The women who
share here are
gifts from the heavens.
They care, fully give
of themselves all
the while bestowing
comfort and laughter
while working.
I entered for the
light, found enlightenment
and left with and in
stitches, literally.
Blessed Erinn
and her Joyful Balance Team.
Gratefully,
Barbara Grandolfo”
