Meaghan Dearwester, PA-C
Meaghan is a dedicated Physician Assistant committed to providing thorough, patient-centered dermatological care. She is passionate about caring for a wide range of skin conditions and believes that the best outcomes stem from collaborating closely with her patients to develop personalized treatment plans.
Meaghan earned her undergraduate degree from Amherst College and completed her Master’s Degree in Physician Assistant Studies at Bryant University. She subsequently deepened her clinical expertise with a fellowship in Emergency Medicine from Brown University Health.
Prior to transitioning to dermatology, Meaghan spent years honing her skills in the fast-paced environment of Emergency Medicine at Rhode Island Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, and more recently in Trauma/Acute Care Surgery at Greenwich Hospital. This background in critical care has fueled her passion for the 'detective work' of dermatology, where she finds fulfillment in diagnosing complex rashes and utilizing specialized patch testing to identify elusive allergens.
Meaghan looks forward to building lasting relationships with her patients and finding thoughtful, effective solutions for their most persistent skin concerns.
Outside of the clinic, Meaghan enjoys spending time with her growing family, exploring new running routes around New Canaan, and testing her skills as an aspiring tennis player.
