Patricia Richey, MD, FAAD is an Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Medicine. She is double fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist who is board-certified in both Dermatology and Mohs Surgery.

She attended medical school at Georgetown University, where she had been accepted as part of the competitive “Early Assurance Program.” After medical school, she completed her dermatology residency (serving as chief resident) and Mohs micrographic surgery and dermatologic oncology fellowship at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. She then moved to Boston for a clinical and research fellowship in laser and cosmetic dermatologic surgery at Wellman Center for Photomedicine and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Richey’s clinical and research interests include Mohs surgery, skin cancer, cosmetic dermatology and laser, with a particular focus on non-invasive treatments of cutaneous neurofibromas associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1. She is currently the Director of the Mohs Surgery at Boston Medical Center, a researcher at Wellman Center for Photomedicine and a Visiting Professor at Harvard Medical School and University of Iowa. She is a sought-after speaker at national conferences and a frequent publisher in the top dermatologic journals. In 2023, she was named the winner of the “Dr. Richard E. Fitzpatrick Clinical Research and Innovations Award” by the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery for her work on cutaneous neurofibromas. The same year, she was selected one of eight “Mohs Surgeons Leading the Future” by the American College of Mohs Surgery.
