Derek Wright, PA-C, La Mesa, CA

About Derek Wright

Born and raised in the south where the love of sports is a very real thing. All sports came natural and this is where the passion for anything musculoskeletal came in to play. It was in the first semester of an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science where he realized that there were more opportunities to make a difference as a Physician assistant, which rerouted his course from Physical Therapy to becoming a PA. Graduated from Southern California University of Health Science in 2020. During his clinical rotation year he felt most connected with Orthopedic and Pain Medicine. He knew Pain Medicine would allow more of an opportunity to make the most difference in other’s lives and has pursued that since graduation. He believes that understanding the full realm of someone’s pain, not just the source, allows the opportunity to have better control.
